A conversation with Mike "ESTRATS" Estrada_ Estrada Surfboards Jan 11, 2025

Show notes

Our guest this week is a Amazing Surfer and Shaper with over 30 years of SHAPING experience. As a young ripper, he was sponsored, competing and destined to be pro. he had no problem getting custom boards. But something sparked his interest about Board Building and in 9 th grade he striped the glass off and re-shaped an old board. Over the next several years he fine-tuned his skills, shaping a lot of boards for himself, his brothers, friends, and eventually started his own label/company at the young age of 22. He was mentored from some of the best shapers in the world include the late great Ben Aipa. RIP, Dennis Jarvis of (Spyder Surfboards) and Bill Cilia of (Nirvana Surfboards). He also shapes for T&C Hawaii, and has a full service glass/shaping factory in Costa Mesa and continues to crank out amazing boards under his label Estrada Surfboards. We welcome Mike“ESTRATS“ Estrada.

A conversation with Xanadu Surfboards Jan 11, 2025

Show notes

Our guest this week was born in Brazil. He was fortunate to do a lot of traveling at an early age and hasn’t stopped since. He has lived in Brazil, Japan, Australia and the US. He shaped his first surfboard at 15 years old. 2 years later he knew it was his destiny to build boards for a living and opened a surfboard factory at the age of 17. In the 90’s having Gerr, Donovan, and Lisa Andersen with 2 world titles under her feet, elevated him to be one of the most well known and most progressive shapers of the time. Fast forward to today, with 40 plus years of fine tuning his craft, he is still on top of his game….. pushing new designs and innovations. We are so STO-KED to have one of the best, most recognizable, and most influential shapers of all time…. Mr. Xanadu!
