Shape
Nov 12, 2026
MEET THE RIDER
This 7’8” Speed Master was shaped for Seri, an experienced surfer who rides the waves of Sanur, Bali.
I wanted Seri to enjoy the feeling of speed, making the most of every wave.
Using T-REEF's mid-length model, the Speed Master, as a starting point, I shaped this board around Seri's personal preferences.

THE CUSTOM STORY
Making the Speed Master Seri's Own
The Speed Master is a mid-length designed for early takeoffs and speed across the wave face.
For this custom board, I kept that original concept while adjusting the outline to suit Seri's preferences.
The most noticeable change is the narrower, more refined nose.
While the T-REEF trial board has a nose width of 17 7/8”, Seri's custom board measures just 14 5/8”.
I kept the same overall length and width, increased the thickness to 3”, and maintained volume through the center while refining the outline toward the nose and tail.
Even when starting from the same model, the final shape changes depending on the surfer's preferences and surfing style.
That is what I enjoy about custom shaping.

MADE FOR SERI, MADE FOR SANUR
For the finish, we chose a vibrant red.
Seri knows the waves of Sanur and has spent years drawing his own lines across them.
I hope this Speed Master brings him a new feeling of speed and many more enjoyable sessions.
Same Model. Different Surfer. Different Shape.
Even when two boards share the same model, no two custom boards are exactly alike.
Every surfer has a different style, different preferences, and a different way of riding waves.
My job is to shape a board that reflects those differences.
Ride on, Seri @ Sanur, Bali!
Go Surf!
