Joe's Mini Simmons – Since 2006
I am someone that previously thought he knew something about surfboards because I rode different types of surfboards and maybe a lot of my ‘knowledge’ came from drunk conversations in the pub or with people who knew less …

No shaper, in fact nobody that I have ever been to, to have something made, has ever left me feeling as confident that I am going to get what I want. For me this was fantastic. I don’t know if this is normal with Nico, or…
