"What started as a way to fuel my own surfing passion has now become a way to stoke out my fellow surfers, and that is truly fulfilling to me."

"Why do I shape surfboards?  Well... it’s something I’ve done since I was a kid.  A sort of escape from an overly-productive world to a simpler more creative space!  What  started as a way to fuel my own surfing passion has now become a way to stoke out my fellow surfers, and that is truly fulfilling to me. It’s the way I have found to give back to others.

I am a self-taught shaper bringing the core fundamentals of board building into a fresh new mindset and clean modern feel that works for you!   I love the process of creating: taking something raw and formless and making it into something both functional and aesthetic.  This involves working directly with surfers where they are at in their surfing journey and equipping them to take the next step.  

You should feel stoked each time you enter the water and comfortable on your own board.  That is something worth investing in.  I invite you to take the next step and venture forward in getting the right board for you.

Thanks for all the support and love along the way!"  

“But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 3:14-15

“I’m still a rough work in progress, that is for sure. Like a foam blank that has been crudely shaped by a planer is still in progress until the surform and sandpaper blend it all together to be something both beautiful and useful. Today, I’m thankful that my shaper is God and his tools are grace and love. My eternity rests in Christ... and that changes everything.” - Ben Kelly, 1993 - 2020
