Drawn to the water as a youngster, Thad developed a love and appreciation for the ocean early in his life. This love grew into a passion as he pursued a path of higher education in the field of marine science, and earned a M.Sc. studying coral reef ecology in Caribbean Mexico.
Specializing in alternative-style surfboards and roots in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, Thad shapes and builds all boards himself and 100% by hand. For more information on Thad and his background, or questions about ordering a custom board, check out the bio page or send a contact request below.
