Not since the likes of champions Brett Hodge and Ray Gleeve have I sponsored any surfers. But as I have been back into custom shaping full time for a while I am pleased about the opportunity to build boards for a hot new talent from Maroubra, Harry Bartlett.
With an impressive list of competitive achievements already under his belt, combined with a passion for surfing and his new custom built Harvey surfboard, Harry's future surfing career looks bright
It's a pleasure to build a surfboard for a young surfer who knows what he wants yet understands working with his shaper to get the complexities of a surfboards design just right for him is critical to his surfing performance.
Personally handcrafting a surfboards creates the difference not only for future champions like Harry but for every surfer no matter what their surfing ability.
