I began shaping boards for myself and friends in the late 60's. This was a unique time in surfboard design. Long boards were out and short boards were in. The Australian designed boards influenced me the most. I began shaping short egg style surfboards. I was able to sell custom boards for $25 each. It was a fun time. Now you can order boards from that era. Check out our surfboards from the 70's section.

My contest surfing was noticed by Gordon & Smith Surfboards and I was picked to be on the surf team. I rode mostly Skip Frye models. These boards were the best and are still the best boards around. Skip's shapes influenced me a lot.

I began shaping boards for G&S. I've shaped a lot of boards over the years and I still make them one at a time. Each board counts. When you're dropping in on an overhead Barrel deep in Baja, I want you to have nothing but confidence in your board and in your shaper.

Thanks,
