Takuya "Tappy" Yoshikawa and the Tappy Workers

First and foremost, Tappy Yoshikawa is a craftsman. He and the Tappy Workers have an immense respect for the craft of surfboard building.

Tappy is not afraid of new lines, testing odd ball ideas, and making a board that might not work - he has a definitive style and loose curve. 

Tappy is a funny guy, as you can see in the video above. He's pure and connected to the source, but in a free-to-laugh and have a-lot-of-fun sort of way.
