Tappa sits down with legendary surfboard shaper Ian Byrne—yes, from that Byrne family—to talk surf, legacy, and the art of making boards that not only ride waves but win hearts. Ian opens up about growing up in a surfing dynasty in New Zealand, the influence of his brothers, and how a few life-changing trips to Hawaii helped shape (literally) his career.
We dive into the craft of hand-shaping boards, the soul of single fin surfing, and how the House of Byrne has evolved without losing its roots. Ian reflects on how family, community, and tradition continue to guide his work in a world of mass production, and why keeping the human touch alive in the surf industry is more important than ever.
Whether you're a surfer, a shaper, or just froth over good storytelling, this episode will leave you waxing nostalgic for the golden days—while getting stoked for the future.
