In surfing, there are the waves… and those who make it all possible. Shapers and riders are the architects of our joy, the craftsmen of the glide, the creators of those magical boards that turn a session into an unforgettable memory. At After Essentials, we love surfing, beautiful boards, and the personalities behind them. So it was only natural to dedicate an entire line to them: the Pro Models Series.
Shaping: passion, obsession and a way of life.
Shaping a board isn’t just about technique. It’s a blend of design, physics, wave feeling and artistic instinct. Plane in hand, surrounded by dust and resin, shapers pursue one single goal: to bring pleasure and fun to every surfer. That raw, creative energy is reflected in every poncho in the Pro Models Series.
Collaborations that tell stories.
Each Pro Model is an immersion into its creator’s world.
From Timmy Patterson, an underground legend of Californian shaping and his iconic San Clemente universe, to Bill Stewart, a pioneer of board design captured in the very act of creation.
From Tony Silvagni’s elegant, colourful longboarding style, to the committed and artistic visions of Maud Le Car, through the raw energy of Kyllian Guerin, a powerful Landais charger with the motto Wild Dreams, the precision of Jon Pyzel, and the friendly, retro approach of French shaper Chipiron.
Each poncho is an extension of their personality, their craft, and their vision of surfing.
Comfort, performance and details designed for every session.
Designed for real surfer life, Pro Models ponchos are made from ultra-absorbent terry fabric, soft and effective for drying off quickly after a session. Loose fit, generous hood, comfortable sleeves, practical pockets (kangaroo or chest): every detail is designed to make changing easy, keep you warm and extend the pleasure after the water.
Wear more than a poncho — wear a vision.
A Pro Model poncho isn’t just an accessory. It’s a story, a tribute, a way of showing your connection to surfing and to those who help it evolve. By wearing a piece from the Pro Models Series, you’re wearing a universe, a sensibility, a passion passed on through textile.
Ponchos created with the people who shape the ride.
Because a great board… and a great after-surf, are priceless.
