As far as marketing goes, it was brilliant.
Made me want to call him up immediately and order one.

Wonder what happened to his relationship with Josh Keogh, who was making all his guns.

I reckon that would slay the crowds at Bondi

My takeout from the Pipe Masters. Caity Simmers has bigger balls than our resident waterman Loofy. She’s phenomenal.

Pretty damn impressive I thought. One of the gutsier women’s finals.
Crazy wave from Baron too.

That board he made looked and surfed like dogshitt.
His own theories are equally subjective.

Yeah I’m not sure anyone truly knows. Many Shapers are egotistical and always seem to think they’ve got the special sauce. Weird bunch

Is there any shaper out there that Doesn’t have some sort of weird ego/complex?
I can’t recall ever dealing with one that was down to earth.

Big names with egos in check
Shane Egan.
Rod Dahlberg.
Slightly lesser name but famous brand
Dale Wilson
Cory in Torquay also seems like no ego.

There's heaps of good shapers without weird ego slash complexes ... way too many to list.
I know a few that are deep into conspiracy theories, but I won't name and shame.
