A little about me…

I grew up surfing on Lake Michigan and have been surfing since 2012. I began building surfboards because getting a good board in the Midwest was expensive. After I made a few, it quickly turned into a hobby. Every new board I made had a unique design, allowing me to see how each surfed. After making a handful of surfboards, I began shaping paddle boards at my neighbor's request. I have earned eight surfboards and nine paddleboards and continue to make them in my free time.
