Ellis Ericson is an Australian shaper from Byron Bay. He made a name for himself after a long stay in Indonesia, where he developed a whole range of shapes - single fins, fish and mid-lengths - in collaboration with DEUS. Inspired by the Australian shapers of the 70s like his father Bruce EricsonMichael Peterson and Bob McTavish, Ellis offers alternative designs that perfectly blend tradition and performance. His models Tracker and Matahari quickly became a hit with the international surf scene.

He then collaborated with his friend Alex Knost on several artistic projects involving shaping. Together, they explored new single fin designs, notably around stingers. This period marks a transition towards more research into gliding sensations, line and speed.

It was during this period that he met Andrew Kidmandirector and surf documentary maker. Together, they take a keen interest in the work of George Greenoughdesign pioneer "Edgea radical concept based on relief-sculpted rails to optimize speed and grip. Originally designed for windsurfingEllis is convinced that this concept can be adapted to the surf. He then began a long process of research and testing with Kidman, resulting in a film and a book : On the Edge of a Dream. They document their immersion in the world of Edge Boards and toured the project for several years.

Today, Ellis Ericson continues to refine its Edge Boardswhich he presents in shapes ever more precise and functional. Each board he shapes is conceived as a unique piecea high-performance, aesthetically pleasing product. His vision of surfing is rooted in experimentationthe respect for rootsand the constant desire to explore new new sensations.
