In this episode 29 I catch up with master surfboard craftsman, Kirk Bierke.
Kirk is a globally recognised surfboard shaper living with his family in Australia.
Kirk’s journey into surfing started far from the coast, growing up in landlocked Wisconsin before his family pulled up stumps and moved to
California. We chat about discovering surfing, how that passion led him into shaping, and his take on board design and how it’s evolved over time. Kirk also shares stories from living in Hawaii, the influence it had on his surfing and shaping, and his move to Australia where he now calls home. We get into the ups and downs along the way, what drives him, and how he’s stayed true to his own path. We also touch on shaping boards for professional big wave surfer and son Russell Bierke who has previously been a guest on the show.
Enjoy a cold beverage while you get to know a master of surfboard design, Kirk Bierke.
