"Oh, That's Different" with Simon Jones
We're happy to have factory kid, Simon Jones, join us for a conversation about his Sydney high school drop-out roots, to Bryon Bay, to finding the shaping room. Working next to Paul Hutchinson, Simon cold-called Albe Falzon to make Morning of the Earth surfboards a reality, which he rakes to this day on a handshake deal. It's now a specialty brand with limited releases, all the while keeping Simon Jones Designs a major part of his low-tone, relaxed life. It certainly didn't hurt that Torren Martyn found a personal shaping guru in Simon, applying his feet to rails, rendering the finest style on open faces and inside kegs since Curren and Merrick... Simon carved his existence to make surfboards, and it's now being felt the world over. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
