Who is behind The Shapers Shed

Meet Todd, the creator of The Shapers Shed and an enthusiastic surfer!

Todd became a surfboard shaper, completing his apprenticeship and gaining his Certificate III in Composite Engineering (fancy name for surfboard manufacturing). Previous to this Todd has worked in the outdoor education industry, working to create and run epic outdoor adventures for young people.

From here Todd decided to fuse his two passions: shaping surfboards and education.

Todd is all about sharing his skills and knowledge of surfboard shaping. The goal of The Shapers Shed is to provide group workshops guiding participants to create their own unique handcrafted quality surfboard.
