Young team rider from Kauai, Jesse Guglielmana stopped by the shaping bay today to get a new groveler hand-shaped by JP Holeman. He studies JP's every move and asks questions as JP explains what to look for when Jesse surfs the board. Jesse will be competing in the NSSA Nationals starting tomorrow at Lowers in open juniors. Nathan Carvalho will also be competing for the open men's title on Thursday. Best of luck Team HSD!
