Neville 'Nev' Hyman is a surfer, surfboard shaper, entrepreneur, conservationist, humanitarian and progressive systems-based thinker. Throughout the 80's and 90's Nev was one of the most prolific surfboard shapers of the time. His brand NEV and NEV Future Shapes were sought-after globally and ridden by the world's best. Nev then went on to create the highly popular FireWire Surfboards in 2006 which is still an industry leader in eco-friendly and zero waste manufacturing. Now, his latest and most profound project to date, NevHouse, produces housing and shelter that can be erected in days and it's purely made from plastic and co-mingled waste products. Mind-blowing! Nev discusses his family's transition from South Aftrica, growing up in Western Australia, the immediate connection he felt to the surf at Burleigh Heads, the elation he felt when the legendary Shaun Tomson first asked him to make him a board, winning the Pitch@Palace over twenty-five thousand candidates, meeting Prince Andrew (Duke of York) and much much more...
