Brand story…
The beginning was...
Masa picked up the word "VOUCH" from somewhere...
Evan and Masa are Vouch. They take care of everything that is Vouch, from brand direction and marketing to working on Paul’s master shapes and making sure every board comes out as good as it should.
All boards are designed by the both of them and they work tirelessly with Paul to make each and every board what it should be, Fucking Amazing.
Evan works with Masa on each and every wetsuit and item of clothing, they have a close bond and have formed a great working relationship over the years.
Paul Who? Some people may not know who Paul is, but if you’re any sort of surfer who has any idea of Australian surf history or have ever watched Morning Of The Earth, then you should. Paul first started shaping when he was 15 under his own “Hutchinson Surfboards” label, and while he has “dabbled” in other areas, he has always continued shaping. An absolute master craftsman, any board he touches turns to gold.
