It really conveys the consumate professional Joe is and how meticulous he is with his R & D. It shows in his boards which are not only fast but have superb craftsmanship and are almost works of art. On top of that most people also know how nice a guy Joe is but if not its worth mentioning. At BOP Joe had loaner boards for all the Hawaii crew and his other team riders including a brand new 18' for me to use. I really would have rather have had a used demo board but he insisted. So we were all styled out for the race which helped immensely since it is not practical to take boards up for the race. At the pro race the boards were taking a beating from the conditions but Joe calmly took it in stride saying that is part of the deal in racing. He was there everyday from early in the morning till late afternoon demoing boards and making sure everyone was taken care of. He is definitely a man of aloha and it carries over into his business which is why he is so successful.Keep paddling!Jeff wetfeethawaii.com Great interview Evan!
