About Me:
 
Kia ora my name is Guy Tuterangiwhiu O`Connor .After many years carving just whalebone I have became one of the best maori bone artist and also the inventor of surfboard PIPE FINS.like me on facebook / kiwibone.
I have carved well over 4,500 items from 61 stranded sperm whale jaw bones and teeth.Many of thoses are around the world in colections.
I stoped working for other people in the mid 1980's and started carving for a living back then.

Now most of my work is in beef bone. I also carve wood and whalebone mammoth black coral ebony and ivory.Plus I design maori graphics,maori tattoo and carve real surfboards into artworks.I also teach bone carving on cd rom or on line.

People with my work include The King of Spain,Presidant Nelson Mandela,actor Michael J.Fox.The whale rider movie and people who worked on the lord of the rings movie.

Pipe Fins have over two hundred team riders ,most in New Zealand .But there are people riding them in other countries too.So if you want more from your surfing then get some PipeFins.
