I began building surfboards in Florida in 1974 and have been shaping ever  since.   It all started when I  wanted to make surfboards for my own personal use.  People liked what they saw and started  asking for them.

I now call Hawaii my home and have been here for the last  20 years.  For the last fourteen of  those years I have enjoyed a good surfer/shaper relationship with  Bonga Perkins. Together we  have collaborated on many of his designs, the latest being the 10’0 SUP (stand  up paddle board) epoxy model. I also have shaped boards for a number of Local Motion pro and amateur  team riders (past and present) such has: Love Hodel, Jessie Merle Jones, Keanu  Asing,  and Leila Hurst to name a  few.
