Shaper Profile: Pete Anderson

With more than 36 years experience shaping surfboards out of Whangamata, Pete Anderson is one of the most humble and well-respected surfboard manufacturers in New Zealand.

In this film he shares his journey from growing up in the heyday of Whangamata’s board-building industry to his insights, his hopes and most importantly, the secret of the “Dad board” along with his own personal top five favourites from his quiver.
