- This film is an interpretation of a shapers lifestyle, riding waves and handcrafting surfboards. Shaper and sponsored surfer, Thomas Bexon lives at Sunrise Beach within Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. At a young age Thomas had a passion for crafting handmade surfboards in his mother’s garage. Now Thomas has spent many years handcrafting surfboards as a profession. Staying away from the norm, Thomas chooses his own path by creating unique boards for a diverse range of surfers. Thomas keeps himself inspired to be creative through perfecting his passion in the shaping bay. The film was shot on location on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

I love this! It's really nice to get a look see into the life of the person that brings so much joy into my life. I have two Thomas longboards (The Step Deck & The Keeper), both with their own unique nose riding, trimming, and turning characteristics. I've ridden a lot of other boards during my 40 years of surfing and these boards have brought quite a refreshing experience to my hobbie. Thanks for all you do, Thomas Bexon! I really appreciate it!!! Peace....
Thanks for the kind message John! We had a blast making this small documentary about him- such a legend!
honestly , when do we start using wooden boards again , like in the old days of surfing ?
well ... then , but only then , I'll go back riding
When you do what you love it's not working
