Meet Your Shaper
Brian Wright
Founder of One Revolver Surfboards | USCG Veteran | MK1 (Ret.)
Brian Wright has lived a life defined by the ocean. His journey began on the shores of Long Beach, New York, where cold-water Atlantic swells built a foundation of grit and passion.
That passion followed him across the globe during a 21-year career in the United States Coast Guard. As an MK1, Brian surfed some of the world’s most iconic breaks — from Costa Rica and Hawaii to the Pacific Northwest and Puerto Rico.
This unique background gives Brian something few shapers have: a deep understanding of fluid dynamics, performance, and durability in real-world conditions.
The Evolution of One Revolver
What started in a Southern California garage shaping boards for friends and fellow service members has grown into a respected veteran-owned surfboard brand.
Every board is still shaped with the same mission: precision craftsmanship, accessibility, and authentic surf culture.
Today, Brian shapes each board in a Costa Mesa bay, dialing in every detail. Partnering with Pure Glass ensures world-class glassing and durability.
A Craft Built on Service & Innovation
Every board is a collaboration. From Menifee, CA, Brian works directly with surfers to match equipment to their waves and skill level.
From beginners to experienced surfers, the goal stays the same: Honor tradition. Push performance. Support the veteran community.
