Marcello Vercelli grew up in Playa Del Rey, California, and has called O‘ahu home for nearly 25 years. A lifelong surfer with roots in surf, skate, and punk rock culture, he started shaping nearly two decades ago after realizing that poorly made boards were holding back his surfing. Since then, he’s dedicated himself to crafting boards with precision and style, aiming to make every surfer better through his designs. Beyond shaping, Marcello draws inspiration from his mentors, music, skating, art, and above all, his faith and family.
