TUBES WITH TOKORO [01.11.2009]Photography

Wade Tokoro is a very well respected shaper who's shaped for names like Sunny Garcia, Jamie O'Brien, Bruce Irons, Jessie Merle-Jones, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Occy, Raimana vaan Bastolaer & Manoa Drollet. He's also a mad charger taking on pipe whenever he gets the time.

Sean Davey recently caught him charging backdoor pipe nice and early one morning back the other week. When asked how it was he said "I've got to find me a new board". Being such a hard charger he broke 30 boards last year and with this season shaping up to be a cracker he could be churning through another 30!

Here's a few snaps of the man hard at work, and putting in those extra hours to keep up the R&D.

• CHARISMA CARPENTER | FRIDAY FOX [16.Jul.2010]

  

  FRIDAY FOX | In the finer words of Borat "wawaweewa!". Charsima Carpenter might not be the most elegant or stylish Friday Fox we've showcased, but she is one foxy lady. So foxy in fact that she was invited to pose for Playboy back in the day...
