Surfer Corey Colapinto Playlist & Interview 66 Videos ･ Last Updated: Sep 09 2024
Hi! My name is Corey Colapinto. I love Jesus, my wife, friends, family, surfing, and shaping. I like to make mid-length twin fins, and I have been enjoying going super thin with them! I originally only rode shortboards, then got into longboards, and now I like to try and blend the two together with 7-8 surfboards.

The worship band at my church :)
