Wooden Surfboards Description
Artist, Shaper & Wooden Surfboard Maker
A self professed lover of surfing GWS was born from a love of surfings history, a yearning for a quiver of boards and an incessant need to constantly draw.
Creating boards that I could ride and a board for all conditions, my need for a quiver of surfboards quickly became my obsession. Every surfboard I’ve ever owned displayed my art and the amalgamation of these three pursuits has developed into what I affectionately call, my dream.
With a degree in History, many years spent as an art teacher, over a decade spent perfecting the craft of building and shaping boards and never a day without a surf, its the truest expression of myself.
