Phippsy has been shaping surfboards for almost as long as he’s been surfing. He first picked up a planer under the guidance of Wayne Lynch and Greg Brown in the famous Gash factory. He shares his time between Australia and Europe, where you will find him shaping at the Euroglass Factory in Hossegor. We have also had the pleasure of hosting him at the Ocean Magic Factory numerous times as a close friend of the OM family.

Mark Phipps has his own reputation as an outstanding surfer with a strong competitive career. This combined with his shaping skills adds up to making high quality performing surfboards. Some of his best most known models include the ‘YO’ and ‘One Bad Egg’ which can now be purchased directly from Ocean Magic.
