“If I was a serious surfer, I would want to have a close working relationship with a shaper, but I don’t think there are a lot of guys in the UK that do that. They think the international shapers are better. But how many of them have even been to the UK and surfed? To me it’s just logical – if you’ve got people who surf the same breaks as you and also make boards, you buy those boards.
