ABOUT ME

Hey, I’m Lou

I’m a 30-year-old surfboard shaper based in beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand. I’ve been surfing for over 20 years and shaping boards for the last decade. What started as a love for riding waves quickly turned into a full-blown passion for building the perfect board to match every surfer’s style, skill level, and dream line.

I love riding all kinds of boards: twin fins, logs, quirky shapes! And I’m always testing new ideas in the water. For me, shaping is as much about creativity and exploration as it is about performance. Every board is hand-crafted with care, designed to feel good under your feet and keep the stoke alive.
