Over the years, head shaper Greg Webb has placed magic sticks under the feet of numerous talented surfing souls. His Shaping Co team riders have included the ‘Who’s Who’ of Queensland and Australian surfing.

In the early days, Greg made the best of shaping for eager young Gold Coast surfers on the rise to legendary status, like Michael ‘MP’ Peterson’s protege Dave Macdonald who became an Australian champion, as well as Sean ‘Reg’ Riley, who remains in surfing annals as the greatest barrel rider ever at Kirra. Through his surf shop sponsorship on the Sunshine Coast, eight year-old Joel Parkinson’s first sponsored board was a Shaping Co stick. Today’s aerial maestro Josh Kerr, as well as 2007 World Champion Mick Fanning also rode Shaping Co boards in their formative years.
