Surfboard shaper, My Khe

Đức Nguyễn

Đức shapes boards in a garage a block from the beach — the only full-time shaper on this stretch of coast.

The waves here made me. It's fair that I give something back to them.

I started fixing dinged boards for backpackers. Nobody was making them here, so I taught myself.

Every board I shape is for these specific waves — short, quick, a little playful, like My Khe on a good morning.
