W ho a r e yo u r people ? As far as family, it is my wife, Katherine, and my daughter, Evelyn. For work, I work closely with my wife and Josh. I have been trying to get a stronger team going as well and have been relying on them for feedback whereas in the past I used to be the surfer/shaper/salesperson. W hat is yo u r t y pical day li k e ? Normally I am out of the house around 7. I’ll head to the Donut, grab a coffee & donut and then check the waves. If there’s waves I’ll surf if not, I’ll head into work early. I try to get a lot of my shaping done earlier when there are less distractions and the shop is not open. I’ll work normally until about 6 then head home to have dinner with my wife and daughter. W hat was it li k e g r owing u p & s u r fing in the S o u th Bay ? Sheltered. I didn’t really venture out that often. But I was quite aware of the history related to the surfboard industry and the legendary surfers that came out of the area. H ow d i d yo u o r iginally get into s u r fing ? My dad surfed. I was handed down a Pat Rawson garage board covered in duct tape and smothered in strawberry sex wax. I was skateboarding and emulating surfing maneuvers before I surfed. My first skateboard was a surfer magazine cover fiberglass deck. W hen d i d yo u sta rt shaping s u r fb oa r ds ? I started shaping and glassing when I was 12 years old. My dad made my first couple boards. When he was too busy, I went into the garage, took his tools, and made my own. W hat in f lu ences yo u r shaping ? Mostly my own surfing. My own personal feedback and later mixed in feedback from other top surfers. W hat ma k es yo u r b oa r ds so m u ch d i ff e r ent f r om what else is o u t the r e ? The first thing was going a direction based off of traditional surfboard design from the 60s. I wanted

to advance that with my own surfing and board building skills during a period where most everyone was either shortboarding on 6’0” tri fins or extended/ rockered out tri-fin longboards. My direction for my board building was my own personal choice and was not dictated by popular culture at the time or trends, it was uninfluenced by outside trends. W hich o f yo u r c u r r ent mo d els is yo u r go -to - b oa r d an d wh y ? My Noserider model is my go-to-board. I have been refining and riding that particular model for 20+ years so, it is an ever improving design. I am very comfortable on it and can get on one and know exactly what it is going to do. W hat shaping p r oj ects a r e yo u most p r o u d o f ? Probably my Z-Chip balsa and my guns. T ell u s a b o u t single fin : Yellow. I am good friends with Jason Baffa so when he asked me to make the board for his movie, I was happy to. It has done nothing but good for me. W he r e a r e some o f yo u r most memo r a b le t r ips ? (s u r fing o r not ?) Tavarua where I rode my first longboard gun that I ever shaped and got some of the best barrels of my life. I was a 21 year old on a trip with 3 other top longboarders who were 10 years older than myself. My equipment was at least a foot bigger than theirs and a good 15 pounds heavier. That was a turning point in my career and I got a lot of credibility from that trip. It was for a Longboard Magazine trip so the word spread of my surfing and board building. When did you get into cars & motorcycles? What projects you working on right now? When I was 16. I was involved in auto shop in high school where I started restoring my first classic, a 55’ Chevy Bel Air. About that same time, I transitioned from short to longboards mostly because of my interest or the parallels between car design and surfboard design from that period. I have a 1955 Triumph, 1984 Harley FX, 1941 Ford, and 1965 Chevy Chevelle 2dr wagon. The 41’ is my baby and has been about 10 years in the making. T ell u s a b o u t yo u r new sto r e . After about a year of not having a showroom, we opened up a nice new shop. It is in the same location as my shaping room. I have hot rod storage, a large parts collection, and some other projects stored here as well. A n yone yo u wo u l d li k e to than k ? My parents, especially my mom for her help in the business aspect. She took me to trade shows and helped me get my first business resale number when I was 16. My wife for her partnership in the business and making Tyler Surfboards what it is today. And thank you to all of my customers over the years who have allowed me to be creative and enabled me to build low volume but high quality surfboards, which have made me known worldwide.

W hat is yo u r t y pical day li k e ?

let’s put it this way, at any bar, surf shop, schoolyard or

Wake up, coffee, read the newspaper, badger the kids to get ready for school, check the surf, check the email, play guitar, eat lunch with the wifey, do something creative, take a nap, chill with family, hang with friends or read a book. Sleep. Unless I’m on tour then I just hang at the hotel until show time or walk around. It’s really glamorous.

I’ll go hang out with the older guys that I grew up skating with and looked up to as a kid. Most of them have families now and are killing it at life. H ow is the s k ate scene in Fo rt Wo rth these days ? I always felt that it was a great city but that a lot of people would overlook it. Lately a lot of teams have been visiting the Dallas/Fort Worth area and realizing how great it is for skateboarding. I can only imagine that it’s helping the scene grow. There’s also a whole new generation of kids skating in DFW now and I’m excited to see what comes out of that.

I don’t even think I had asked for one or anything and she just bought it from a garage sale. It was a Nash board with pink wheels. I think I was 9 years old and I spent the next two years pushing mongo and belly boarding before a trip to the library and book on skateboarding led me to realize that you could do actual tricks. My Mom and Dad have always been supportive of anything that I liked to do. I think like any parent there is the fear factor involved that your child might get hurt but they knew

He definitely still shreds and schooled me on a game of skate when I last visited TX. I’ll get him next time for sure though! Also Cody McEntire had a big impact on my skating, I learned a lot from skating with him. W hat p r os d i d yo u loo k u p to that in flu ence d yo u r s k ate b oa r d ing ?
