Part 1 – Our First Open Shaping in Amami Oshima (Kuninao)
9'8" Longboard for the next 10 years.


This was more than just shaping a board.

10 local surfers came to watch our
open shaping session in Amami Oshima, Kuninao.
Seeing that level of curiosity and genuine interest in surfboard making
meant more to us than we can express.

T-REEF Surfboard started as a personal brand.
We turned it into a company with one clear goal:
to pass down shaping knowledge to the next generation.

This live open shape in Amami is one of our first steps.

In this video (Part 1), you’ll see the conversation with Charlie
as we design his new 9'8" longboard
a board built for his next decade of surfing, from 70 to 80 years old.

Every T-REEF board begins with a conversation.
Because a surfboard is not just foam and resin
it’s a reflection of a surfer’s life, time, and future.

Enjoy!
