Cool dude and has a wealth of knowledge about the sport, and a commitment to sharing it. Builds a really nice board, too - I have a custom Foil/Slalom he built for me and it's been a pleasure to use. Very sturdy, with extra layers of Innegra in high-impact areas like upper rails and nose. It got washed into the rocks recently in decent surf and got banged around for a long time before I could get to it and it suffered just a little cosmetic damage - no core shots at all
