  • He's equal parts artist, shaper, surfer, and craftsman.
    Saying he makes forts for a living isn't too far off the mark. In between sessions in his hand-built artisan studio in San Francisco, where he drafts plans for surf buggies, tree houses, camper vans, and single-fins, Nelson paddles out at Ocean Beach, proving that yes he's an artist and yes he's a woodworker and yes he builds installations for Facebook, but first and foremost he's a surfer. At the least, he says, a good surf helps him wash off all that sawdust.

    Man, lotta haters on here failing miserably at masking their insecurities about what flailing kooks they are.
    This guy has a great life. Good for him.

    Kudos, young man! Building real stuff. Maybe there's more hope than I feared. Never quit. By the way, nice music.

      Funny, I don't see him on here talking about how hard his road in life has been. Seems to be pretty humble and appreciative of how good a life he has.
      Get over yourself, kook.

    How many of these hipsters are you going to do videos about? It's basically the same guy over and over again just a different name same damn thing a hipster with the trust fund. I'm over these videos put somebody who surfs more than they talk and surfs good with style
