Ryan Harris grew up in Oregon where surfing required dedication fueled by passion. When he moved to Southern California, he fell in love with the sacred craft of board shaping, a natural extension of his artistic background. While working in a traditional poly glass shop, he met Rey Banatao from Entropy Bio Resins. Rey opened Ryan’s eyes to greener methods of making surfboards. Within a year Ryan was one of the leaders of green board building. He now runs two labels, Ry Harris Shapes and Earth • Conscious • Objects. He’s partnered with some of the biggest brands in the surf industry to help improve surfing’s environmental footprint.
