After traveling up and down the coast in search of the best waves, he left USA to continue his search and this in turn helped him to refine his bodyboard shaping and designing skills.

Due to his accute understanding of bodyboard design Jimmy had the opportunity to shape for Morey, BZ, CustomX and other body board companies.
