"I grew up in the south west of France, where i still reside. I shaped my first surfboard at the age of 15. In my dad's garage, after finding old tools. I learned & developed my skills by differents meetings in the past years.
Meanwhile, i founded my own label to express myself through : socatoa. Focused on handshaped quality built surfboard, shaped & glassed by my hands at Atlantic Vibrations in Anglet, France."

Atlantic Vibrations, an high quality glass shop who care of the surf heritage. 
Thanks to the teamwork.
