Tigre Bona was created by Tony Brigante from making longboards and fishes mostly for himself, and in the last few years for family and friends. Most of his customs are noserider-based designs, which he finds endlessly interesting.
The fact that intentionally shaping and changing contours and anticipating the reaction of the hydrodynamic features of a surfboard and water flow along with wave shape is just so crazy. You could do it in your backyard. I made a shaping room out of a walk in freezer. I’ve been doing start to finish builds on boards and it is full of blood, sweat and tears (actually)."
