GoPro | GoPro: Memory Banks Series | Board Shaper Matt Parker @GoPro | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Matt Parker began shaping boards the way most surfboard shapers do: out of a Southern California garage, back in 2001. Nowadays, Parker is the owner of Album Surfboards + the shaper behind XO COCO, his collaboration with surfing legend Coco Ho.
Album Surfboard's motto? Reshaping surf through design. Our design-forward approach means we're continually exploring what works in the water.
XO COCO designs surf equipment specifically for + with women. The brand seeks to employ women at every stage of the surfboard building process, from supply to operations to wave riding.
Since his shaping career began over 20 years ago, the self-taught shaper has made over 21,000 surfboards. He rides his boards before selling them to ensure they are the perfect fit for the waves + those who will be riding them. In his experience, Parker has learned a lot about fin placement. Collabing with FCS was a long time goal as he knows + trusts FCS to know the subtle details of each fins size + shape.
