MANOA DROLETTE


IORANA
THIS IS MANOA DROLETTE GETTING SHACKED AT TEAHUPOO. HE IS ONE OF THE BEST SURFERS TO COME OUT OF TAHITI. HIS BACKHAND TUBE RIDING ABILITIES ARE SECOND TO NONE! HE JUST WON THE TRIALS IN EPIC SURF. THIS IS A 6’8” WE MADE HIM AND HE LOOKS VERY COMFORTABLE IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION! THE WAVES HAVE BEEN SMALL FOR THE MAIN EVENT AND WE WISH MANOA ALL THE BEST! MARURU

JAMIE OBRIEN SHAPING

HELLO HERE IS AN ARTICLE I FOUND IN SURFING MAGAZINE. THIS WAS DONE A FEW YEARS AGO WITH JAMIE O BRIEN. SURFING WANTED TO HAVE THE SURFER SHAPE HIS OWN BOARD, WITH SOME GUIDANCE FROM HIS SHAPER. JAMIE CAME OVER TO MY SHAPING ROOM AND I GAVE HIM A QUICK RUN DOWN OF TOOLS, BASIC BOARD DESIGN AND LEFT HIM TO CREATE. I POPPED IN TO CHECK ON HIM PERIODICALLY AND GAVE HIM SOME DIRECTION. HIS APPROACH WAS LIKE HIS SURFING FEARLESS! ANYWAY IF YOU READ THE ARTICLE IT’S PRETTY FUNNY! ALOHA
