Austin Handshapes

Raised on the island of Maui, Drew Austin first took up surfing at the age of 3. Being pushed into waves at the local long boarding spot by his older brother and now primary glasser Aaron Austin. Throughout Drew’s life he has chased his obsession of surfing by living in some of surfings most coveted areas: Maui, Hawai’i, and Santa Barbara, California. Growing up in Maui meant being a short boarder as Maui is known for its HIGH performance surfing. Santa Barbara is where Drew realized the different styles and avenues surfing could go and started down an alternative path of board building. In 2021 Drew moved to Brooklyn New York to start working at Kings Glassing to hone in on the skill of hand shaping surfboards. Drew is now determined to make some of the worlds highest quality progressive alternative shaped surfboards.
