Reno Abellira is a surfer-shaper from Hawaii, currently living in Baja California Mexico, commuting twice a month between San Diego and San Miguel, where he works with Brian Ramirez from Baja CP Surfboards, on the road to Tecate. I remember seeing Reno Abellira back in the 70s a true Surfing Legend who was the first one to cut his long board in half and created the mini board,when he took it to california he blew everyones minds,and of course reshaped the surfing world. He truly was a Guru in our eyes as he meditated on the beach before he went out ,then ripping past us, it was like a guitarist watching Jimmy Hendrix ,i used to go home and say Wow i seen Reno Abeliira today,really Heavy man!
Shaping
Reno began shaping in the late 60s working for Dick Brewer. In the late 70s, Reno shaped for Mark Richards. Reno copped a lot of flak from his fellow Hawaiians for shaping boards for the Aussies.
Surfing
Reno placed 4th at the 1968 World Championship held at Puerto Rico. He won the 1974 Smirnoff Pro, held in giant Waimea Bay.
