Why??


The answer is a bit complex and has multiple reasons.  I grew up with the ocean as my playground.  Mom took me to the beach everyday as we lived 2 blocks away from the very spot that was the birth place of the sport.  Since a very young age I had a fascination with surfboards, canoes really anything that appeared to glide or fly across the ocean.   This passion grew and eventually started making my own boards.  I rode some of the best boards made by some of the greatest shapers but nothing was like making and riding my own..  The more boards I made the more respect I had for shapers.  Shaping is truly a craft that is very technical and complex.  I became addicted to the study and theory of board design and certain shapers had very intriguing methodology. These shapers I idolized. In fact I have much respect for anyone that takes any part in the art of board building as since 1991 I have had my hands on foam, cloth and resins lol..

 I have always been a tinkerer and if you know anything about me my passion is to create things that make life better, more efficient or to simply improve on a pre-existing product that in my opinion is not yet at it's full potential.

 With my board building background and being a tech tinkerer  I decided to create the Precision Shaper System.

1. To aid small to medium hand shapers, giving them a way to save their joints and  learn a new modern way of doing things if they care to.  

2. In the hopes to ensure in the future more boards are still made by those that care to in a more efficient manner.

3. To satisfy the "I" generation. Kids these days are part computer it is like an extension of their minds and so to help relate and bridge that gap I went my own way.

4. To provide a competitive edge for the small and medium shaper's against over seas manufacturing giants and big marketing dollar surf mag brands.

5. To empower shapers by providing the ability to own their own machine eliminating cutting center dramas and putting that money back in their own pockets.

6.  I'm passionate about CNC motion systems and developing stable and very specialized software

7.  Because I could

Whatever the future holds, wherever we take it, however you want to get there.  GO YOUR OWN WAY!!!!!!!
