I am author of Keel Nation and have been studying the Mini Simmons for 10 years.

I ride them and shape them daily.

Custom Mini Simmons shaped by hand.

I have been shaping for over a decade, looking for the right mixture of board and art.

I found it when I discovered the Mini Simmons. Shaping is such a personal expression, it is truly an art form.

It is foam art—yo.

No machines are used and each shape is unique.

No knock-offs.

One man, with his tools. Passion. Creativity. Concentration. A love affair.

Boards cannot be rushed and take 6-8 weeks.

Here is a recent video of me doing the rails on a 5'1 Mini Simmons.
