JC: What is the best and worst aspect of being Fanatic’s shaper?
SW: Well the best thing is that I made a career doing something that I always loved to do. Obviously if you have a passion for something and can make a living out of it, there is nothing better than that. The worst part! I don’t want you to write this, is developing the slalom and race boards! No the worst part is all the travel, now is a bit better but a few years ago when we made the prototypes in Thailand I was flying over there six or seven times a year. All that travelling was starting to wear me out. You don’t see your family, constant jet lag and you don’t sleep for nights. That is the worst part. We have worked on that and improved things so now there is not much bad about the job!
