Heading out soon, for another stint in the shaping room at Custom Surf Glass/G&S. I am excited to continue developing new models with Stunning Foil in Tokyo, and Greg Surf Company in Osaka, and continue with classic designs that have proven to be popular. You may also find stock boards at Bird’s Surf Shed, Pastel Surf Shop, and possibly Atacama Surf Shop.

I am also excited about having my shapes built at such an iconic factory, by a collection of craftsmen, young and old, who represent the best that the industry has to offer. It is an honor to be associated with them.

I still have room for custom orders at this point, so if you or anyone you know would like a new shape, please get with me. See you in the water!

Well things are shaping up for February and March. Boards from my fall ‘23 trip are all complete, and heading to their respective shops. In February I should have the time to shape for local stock and do customs for some folks. Please message me if you would like to be on the list.

I have also been making some hand shaped sidewalk surfers during my time here in the Midwest. These little suckers take some real time to produce, but sourcing local hardwood and shaping them has given me something rewarding to pursue while here, and skating them around the neighborhood does an old skater’s soul good. All of them so far are spoken for, but hopefully I’ll get a few more together soon.

Broke the ice yesterday with an 8’07” garbage picker. Looking forward to a long busy stay in San Diego, using the room at G&S, and having Custom Surf Glass finish my shapes. It’s always a pleasure being there and soaking up all of the history and knowledge.
