§ 05 · Team
RidersFeedback from Rachael Tilly and Austin Sonnier keeps the boards made for surfing, not display.
Rachael Tilly is a three-time WSL World Champion — 2015, 2024 and 2025 — and the 2025 ISA World Champion. Terry Martin took her under his wing, shaped her early boards and taught her the craft. She continues to develop her competition quiver with Joshua, notably around the Travelette.
California longboarder Austin Sonnier moves between sessions, travel and board testing. His feedback maintains a direct dialogue with Joshua — a surfer–shaper relationship that keeps the boards evolving in real conditions.
