Born in 1949 in Ocean Beach, California, Mikey Casey began his surfboard journey as a member of the Blacks Surfing Association and an apprentice at the legendary Chanin Surfboard Factory. There, he mastered every aspect of surfboard production under the guidance of expert craftsmen, developing a lifelong respect for quality and precision. In 1977, he moved to Oahu and settled at Sunset Point, where he could fully embrace his passions for shaping, surfing, sailing, diving, and fishing. A dedicated artisan, Mikey Casey prioritizes quality over quantity, putting his full effort into every board, and remains one of the few original shapers capable of crafting a surfboard entirely from scratch from wood.
