About Me: I have been Riding for Primitive for about 8 years now, at first i changed my board dimensions all the time, but once Reesy shaped me the MAGIC STICK (6'2" 18"1/4 2"1/4) I have not changed and that was 5yrs ago. Now I can't ride any other shapes, Primo boards just feel like they are a part of my feet. Reesy's knowledge has grown along with the team and the Primitive brand. I am proud to ride for such great people and on great equipment.

Craig has been really helpful with my boards, as I travel to many different locations he is able to share his knowledge and help shape boards that best suit my surfing style. I love my 5'9 x 17 3/4 x 2 1/16 swallow tail at the moment it goes good in most conditions and i use it for competing.

About Primitive Surf: I first starting riding primitive surf boards at the age of 15, my first board was a custom 5'10 with a Tom Carroll spray I got for christmas 2000. I'm currently riding a 6'2 rounded square thats suited for the waves of the sunshine coast. Craig's shapes are continually developing with each new board i order. I've ridden them in Indonesia for the last 3 seasons. I think Craig is really great to communicate with when i want boards for specific conditions, and he's a top bloke...
