Check out my friend&shaper, Bill Foote's new website!
 
Bill Foote – is one of those legendary Hawaiian surfboard shapers… where quality, innovative design, and customer enjoyment of his boards is what he really cares about and focusses on.
The surfboard in Hawaii has a deep and spiritual history. In this modern era of mass produced popout boards, the custom Hand-Shaper is an increasingly rare breed of artisan who continues to respect the importance of carrying on the Hawaiian tradition of constructing sacred craft.
 

 
I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know Bill. He is such a passionate and inspiring person who loves what he does.
“Either on the water or to talk story… it’s always a pleasure – thank you, Bill Foote.”
 
And special thanks for my magic Longboard! – never thought a board could make such a big difference (especially for a swiss greenhorn like me) but it does! Always thought I’m riding the wave not the board ,now I still think the same but learned: it’s about the board how you ride the wave...
