In this episode I chat with Dylan Perese from DP surfboards and inventor of the soon to be released 'Leashbar'.

Dylan caught the bug for shaping in his early teens and instantly knew this was what he wanted to do.  A couple of years later he left school to focus on surfboards and never looked back.

A member of a thriving surf community south of Sydney as well as an opportunity to work with Graham King was all he needed to establish himself a solid reputation for making great boards.  Speaking with Dylan it is clear he is very determined, meticulous and business savvy.

I caught up with Dylan after he recently consolidated his glassing factory and showroom to a new space in Bulli.  Any praise he receives for the quality of his boards is quickly shared with his team with whom he has great respect.

Dylan is also the creator of the soon to be released 'Leashbar'.  A new type of leg rope plug that allows the user to attach their leg rope to the board using the rail saver and eliminate the need for a string.  I predict this will be a game changer for the surfboard industry.

I hope you enjoy my chat with Dylan Perese.
