Biggie - His real name is Dave Smithers but you can call him Biggie. He was born big, has big feet and likes big waves. He knows how to make big boards and boards for big waves. Originally from Sumner Beach, Christchurch, Biggie shifted to Taranaki at the young age of 16. He felt right at home in the west coast power. He became a regular face chasing the consistent swells at the variety of surf breaks that Taranaki had to offer. Biggie, his brother Tom, and fellow Sumner surfer, Ton Deken, began making surfboards in the mid 70’s and he’s been perfecting the art of board building ever since.
