Our last episode for this series features Shyama Buttonshaw.

Shyama was born and raised just around the corner from Bells Beach and his surfing and shaping lineage is deeply woven into the iconic break.

More than just a surfer shaper, Shyama blends art, surfing and shaping into a fluid and unique mix and recently this has led to his inclusion in the Stab Electric Acid Surfboard Test.

The first instalment of Behind The Shaper features well-known and underground shapers from Victoria’s iconic Surf Coast, a birthplace of surfing culture, industry and craftsmanship regarded around the world.

Also a throwback is the classic Australian shaper and retail set-up at Strapper surfboards. There's something quintessentially Australian about buying a Robbo from Strapper knowing that the bloke that made it, did so less than 20 metres from where you're standing.

Even better you know it's full of the passion and experience, built by the guy in the local stores, who loves the local waves that he's been surfing his whole life.
