Patto began his shaping career in the Cronulla area approx 30 years ago in the early 80’s and since those early days working at Force 9 and then branching out with his own PCC Surfboard label has developed a reputation as one of Australia’s top shapers and progressive design thinkers. He has a passion for retro designs but stays well on top of the latest innovations. Below Patto with one of his 1980 shapes and early logo.
