About Bruce McKee:

Fabled Aussie shaper Bruce McKee, based in Europe since the 90s, has returned to Sydney to work on innovative shapes for Fanatic. McKee, an active windsurfer, has shaped everything from catamarans to water-skis, longboards and guns, to every type of shortboard. Bruce has supplied many shapers with his M4 Quattro quad and M5 Multisystem concept systems and as a renowned `gun´ specialist is the guy big-wave riders call when the Atlantic lows start to crank.

Over 20-yrs in Europe, Bruce has crafted boards for many top pros of the WCT & WQS tours. He regularly shaped for Sunny Garcia and had success with riders such as Kaipo Jaquias, John Shimooka, Ross Williams, Johnny Boy Gomes, Kobi & Sunny Aberton, Kurt Nyholm, Occy, Kate Skarret , Russell Winter, Tom Carroll, Tom Curren, Andy Irons, Neko Padaratz, Steve Clements, Dane Ward, Paul Parkes and a long list of past and present competitors. With an exceptional eye for details and high-tech moulding experience he’s the perfect partner for Fanatic’s cutting-edge epoxy standards.
