You know what the most important thing your shaper can do is? Surf properly. Sure, there are shapers who talk the talk—the ones who know all the terms and SOUND like they know what they’re doing—but when it comes down to it, you want a shaper who understands the ins and outs of what a piece of foam can do on a wave. Enter Troy Elmore.
He’s a tall glass o’ water with the grace of a cat when he’s riding a surfboard—and they’re boards he makes himself. In order of appearance: 5’4 Frye’d Fish, 6’6 Raven Single Fin, and a 5’8 Twin Plus One, all caught on film by the inimitable Jack Coleman.
