Shaping is an art form which the artist needs to prove his art through performance. Shaping is derived from the passion of understanding dynamic flow & from the rock jazz of the early '70 with powerful bass line. Surfboards must be groovy. They need to show their move while standing still. The surfer must see himself charging with it. The rail needs to sit tight in hand. The eye needs to hunt the proportion and to answer the question of how?
A Surfboard needs to have the aesthetics of nature. As it to be live in. it could be rough or subtle. the surfer must feel its spirit.
There is a whole section of time in the process of building Surfboards without even using the hands. The idea can emerge from watching a pelican gliding its way across the windshield of your car, With that rock jazz in your ear.
That is the real "shaping things to come"
Execution needs devotion. In a hand shaping process, the hands can be the perfect tool. If they are skilled enough to follow the idea. They need to know how to work hard while creating things. They need to be trained before they can give a decent result. If you’re looking for a book of shaping lessons, there are none. Only Knowledge and crafts exist.
Pelican Dreams
By observation only one can dream. Not to dream as one is asleep. But to dream by a different understanding that emerges from observation in a particular moment. To dream by feeling the instrumental body that is to be observed. To make the transformation from one body to another. The same function in a different use.
What would a pelican to be in a surfboard? What criteria should it carry. The beak piercing and delivering the flow to the under-hull body. It should be light and strong enough to carry any maneuver. The body should be wide and balanced well to maintain the long-distance glide. The ratio between arms and length is designed to build lift when at a low speed. The stance of the pelican while gliding gives the observer the look and feel of the "Simmons of the Sky". Large and wide enough to catch the waves that will carry for a long distance.

What is an AIM of a man?
The search and find if the impossible is possible – that is when life becomes real. Not of an illusory world, but of a nonfantastic one, of exciting and existing one in reality. Through the search for the impossible which is not created yet, the learning and finding of a new objective result that arise from the path. The search is for forgotten knowledge; the find is for whatever path you choose to roam. To acknowlege the material of a new creation and to prove the soundness and quality of it. We come to a time where the impossible is by far possible
