Shaper Profile - Andrew Harris
From the age of seven, when I caught my first wave I was hooked on surfing. In 2003, at the age of thirty-one, I began shaping out of my garage at home. What was initially a craving to just try to shape my own board, turned into an obsession and life long dream of becoming a surfboard shaper.

Now in my 8th year of shaping and having shaped over 1,000 boards, I have gained a great reputation as a surfboard shaper, not only in my local area of the eastern suburbs in Sydney, but abroad. I have exported my boards to places such as Italy and Japan.
I often feature in Aquabumps as I usually surf each morning. I am very passionate and focused on my shaping and I have very high aspirations for the future.

Hi Andrew. Took the 6'0 dominator for my first surf yesterday and it worked a treat straight away. Really like the way it went. Definitely a keeper. The Egg also went really well at yesterday's session.

The new board feels really good. So smooth and fast, the water entry is great, the rails never bite. I'm really stoked, and it's amping me to surf.

Had first surf today. It was knee to chest high and the board went off. It did everything I wanted it to do. Wicked man. I'm stoked. I'll be keen to get more boards off you in the future.

Got a couple of good surfs in yesterday and the day before and the new AH surfboard is fantastic! It's so much faster than my old 6'2 fish, but just as easy to paddle. Really enjoying it!
Brett McDonald - 6'4 Mod Fish

Mate, that board went so good today. Won the A grade on it. Heaps of people were asking about the board.

Hi mate. Surfed four feet Nias last night. Board goes so good. Just feels really good under the feet. Off the bottom too. Legend.

Hey Andrew. I am in Nias. Just wanted to let you know the waves are amazing and the board is going insane! I'm very happy with it. Excellent job. Thanks.

The board is a work of genius. For starters it accepts my weight and is great to paddle. It's easy to ride and responsive to everything that I wanted to do. A great all round board.
Ross Hudson - 6'2 Supa Stinga

John was kind enough to let me try his Zappa Board today. The surf was typical Japan waves, about waist to chest high on the sets. The board rode beautifully and it was so easy to catch the waves! It's very easy to carve and float over mushy sections. I had a great time and definitely recommend one.

The 6'7 goes well. Indo look out

Will Whitaker - 6'4 Dominator

I just wanted to email you to say thank you so much for the board. The board I got is by far the best board I have ever ridden in my life. It moves so quick, paddles great and duck dives really well. Thank you once again for everything.
Michael Kubler - 6'6 Havoc

Just wanted to say the board went super sick in Indo! Definitely one of the best 6'0's I have tried! A great board that just works everywhere! Keep up the good shapes!
Yiming - 6'0 Havoc

New board went good in Indo. Very happy with it. Thanks.
Tim Kiem - 6'3 Havoc

Enjoying the board. Extra speed and maneuverability are what I have noticed the most from the old board.
Mark Kinkade - 6'0 Havoc

I tried out the 6'6 during a typhoon swell in Japan. The board was awesome!
Tetsu (Japan) - 6'6 Havoc
-
The swell was finally big enough for me to take out my 6'4 Havoc today. I was really happy with it. Lot's of control, but also really responsive.
Michael Gulley - 6'4 Havoc

I love my new board! It's perfect for me thanks.
Nikki Morley - 6'0 Havoc

Board is unreal mate. Thanks, Girvo.
Michael Girvan - 6'4 Havoc

As I keep saying AH Boards are the best I have ever ridden, every single one... No let downs!!!
Bruce Stafford - 6'1 Havoc

Love my board and love that you put so much care in.
Anna Martin - 6'0 Havoc

I have been surfing the new board the past two weekends and I really like it! It's perfect for small waves since it's easy to catch the wave and to glide through slow sections.
Osamu Francis (Japan) - 5'8 OSF

Hey, board is going insane. Paddles heaps well and heaps fast. Good stuff!
Iouri Itcherkas - 6'0 OSF

The board is fantastic, especially in the weak Japan waves. I like it very much.

Been meaning to tell you I have got right into the Dominator board. It's really good.
Will Whitaker - 6'2 Dominator

I'm loving the board. I'm surfing it really well.
AJ - 5'8 Dominator

The board is going great. It's one of the funnest boards I've ridden and easy to ride as well. The size is fun too. Thanks alot.
Jesse Cross - 5'8 Egg

the board is awesome. Got a chance to ride it in some pretty perfect waves at about 5-6 foot up the north coast a few weeks ago. Long walls and very wackable!!! The board performed perfectly and I'm really loving that shape.
Theo Venardos - 6'2 Supa Stinga

Hi Andrew. Just letting you know that the board goes really well, super fast and very loose, best board ever. Thanks for shaping such a good board and hope to see you again soon.
Matt Cotsios - 5'10 Supa Grom
-
The board is going really good. In fact I'd rate it the best board I've used in 3 foot and under waves. Surfed a lot of crappy weekend arvos on it. But had one Sunday in perfect 2-3 foot waves at Garie where it really shone. I jumped back onto my 6'2 last week and it felt like a tanker.
Brendan Underhill - 5'10 Hyper Drive

The board is sensational. Finally had a surf when I could appreciate it. After our discussions, it's exactly what we planned. It's fast off the take off and still very responsive. Not that much different to my shortboard. Congrats mate. You nailed it.
Shane White - 5'10 Hyper Drive

Just sending you a quick email to let you know that my 6'4 is going off! My AH is ripping. This would be the best board I've ever ridden. I've been surfing since I was 11 years old and now I'm 37. It just makes me want to surf every single day, 3 times a day. I love it! If anyone is wanting a new board contact Andrew ASAP. It will be the best thing you'll ever do! Absolutely a sensational board. Cheers, Jas.

G'Day Andrew. The new boards went sick at P-Pass. 6'4 was fun and loose in the small stuff, the 6'6 was nice and drivey when it got bigger and the old 6'8 came into it's own in the serious stuff. Volume seemed right for these kind of waves. Lot's of guys here with too little volume in their boards finding it hard going. Had four days of surfing all day with the swell peaking in the 6-7 foot range. Just have to get them home safely now on the airlines. Cheers, Steve.
