Alright mate,
Have you checked the surf in the UK. Will your boards work?? How long have you been shaping?? Do you sponsor anyone??? May need a board for N Wales UK if you can sell me one???

Hi Gaggin, To answer your questions I have not been to the UK.As to whether my boards work,If you can give me an accurate description of where you surf ,the type of wave, your comfortable wave size range and an honest and realistic description of you ability level.I can build you a board that will work well for you.I have been surfing for 25 years working in the industry for 6 and shaping full time and running my own business for the past 4 years my business continues to grow each year and residing in what is probably the most competitive surfboard manufacturing area on the planet and judging from the number of repeat customers I have and the limited advertising I do I must be doing something right.I am a custom board builder NOT a production shaper I usually have a waiting list for a custom board of around 4-6 weeks and upto 12 weeks in summer.I rarely have any new stock boards as there is rarely time outside of custom orders.
I sponsor a small team of talented riders, not so much top 44 but a group of local guys that have well above average ability, surf and compete locally and generally are ambassadors for evolve.Through their actions in and out of the water they compliment my business.I am not looking to market a clothing line at a ridiculous price so the sponsorship thing is pretty much boards and hardware and is performance and referral based not marketing an image to the non surfing public to increase sales.Now if you see yourself in the top 5-10 % of surfers in your area you are probably going to rip on any board but if like most of us you are of average ability often a custom board tailored to your size, ability etc is going to make a marked improvement in your surfing.
It would be great if I can help you out, if not don't hesitate to contact me with any queries regarding board design etc.
If you would like a quote please send me your height weight style of board you would like eg: short, mini,longboard. and the nearest airport and I will reply promptly
Cheers
Darren
