About Us

BIO

Born into a family that loves surfing. His father made surf leashes and his brother shapes, it’s no wonder Isaac learned at a young age what he wanted to do. His passion is educating people on surfing and how they can better their progression. Isaac works with Bird at Bird’s surf Shed and is the surf team captain for both the Shed and the WindanSea Surf Club. Isaac really connects to the younger generation and has a way of teaching kids how sponsorships work. From contests to shaping and everything in between, Isaac embodies a true ‘waterman’, craftsman and surf educator. When the surf is flat he trains with the WindanSea Surf Clubs Paddle Team and you can usually find Isaac maintaining his local dirt jumps and educating people on proper trail maintenance or organizing surf or dirt jump contests. Isaac has worked hard to build a following and promoting his sponsors products. Isaac has the unique opportunity to be surrounded with friends in the industry such as; Bird Huffman, Skip Frye, Larry Gordon, Rusty Priesenderfer, Bob Mitzven, Robin Prodonivich, Wayne Rich, Rich Pavel, Daniel Tomo Thompson, Steve Seabold and Steve Liss. Isaac’s relationship with each of these shapers and involvement with Bird at the Shed allows different influences of surf design and allows him to explore all aspects of surfing.
