Since 2001, I majored in Sculptures of Formative Arts for 7 years in the US. I lived in Nebraska, which is in the middle of the US. Although it took 3 hours by car to travel to California, a popular surfing destination, I visited there every year. I remember the first time I saw people surfing the waves when I didn't even know the word "surfing". At that time, I was searching for inspiration as a sculptor and I was absorbed quickly and deeply by the surfing culture. I even lost track of time in California because I window shopped surfing board in various shops. 

After I went back to Korea, I kept working on my work for 3 years. I thought I wanted to try something that didn't frequent in Korea. In Summer 2008, I tried making a surfing board without any knowledge. Because a surfing board is easy for everyone to make, I collected information from some companies of surfing boards and shaping communities. Also, I sent emails to famous shapers and found answers to some problems I couldn't fix. I made my first surfing board after 1 month's time and effort. It was hard to maintain a livelihood as an artist, so I taught English to children and finally established this studio 4 years ago. Just 7 months ago, I started selling my surfing board for the first time.
