Ronan "Rosy" Harkin
100% Irish Shaper and founder.





27 years of age, surfing 8 years, shaping 6, full-time 2.

I did vehicle body repair for 8 years before I decicded enough's enough.A man has to go with what makes him happy.

Surfing and shaping in Ireland is stil in its infancy although people have been surfing here for years.It's picking up now and to be a shaper at this moment is very exciting.
I'm learning everyday in the workshop.It never really stops.
We've made a lot of progress in the last six years and I'm trying to shape boards that will take the average surfer a step higher.To me it's all about progression.

I get alot of inspiration from different people of different walks of life.People who believe in what they are doing and doing it with a smile no matter what life throws at them.I can't single out anybody as my main inspiration in life.

I am lucky to have surfed a lot of good waves around the world, but in my mind there is no place like home.People say surfing in boardshorts is the best, but for me there is something about cold water surf.I crave it for some strange reason.
