One day I was picking up a new board from my surfboard shaper Guy Okazaki. Two weeks later, I was covered in foam dust in his shaping room in Venice Beach. Opportunities present themselves in life, and you've got to jump in and enjoy the ride. That's what I did.
I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree hoping to enter the creative side of the entertainment industry. I ended up on the corporate side, heading for a career with great monetary possibilities. I was not satisfied. When the opportunity arose to follow my passions - surfing and surfboards - I jumped. I think Guy was a bit leery training a woman. In fact he mentioned that the work was physically challenging and looked at me with a wondering eye.
Since then, I've become one of the few women shapers in the world and have had the privilege to also train under such legendary shapers as Mike Minchinton, Matt Bettis, Mark Martinson, and Robert August.
Send me an email or give me a call to discuss your next board. – Molly Logan
