I've owned and ridden all kinds of surfboards by all kinds of shapers. Mostly longboards and guns designed for the best Hawaii has to offer in Town, Country, and Westside. I only surf hand-shaped boards. I can honestly say that Ron Meeks is a master Hawaiian shaper. He shapes for some of the biggest names in pro surfing, but is dedicated to surfers of all levels. If you want a magical, hand-shaped board custom made for your favorite wave and unique surfing style, RON MEEKS is honest, reasonably priced, and a true artist of the highest caliber. I own two and can't wait to order my winter gun! Mahalo, Ron! Guy Steele
