Jiewoo Jeong

South Korea

IN-HOUSE CNC OPERATOR & SANDER

South Korean craftsman and industrial designer. Lifelong skier, mountain biker, and surfer. Blending precision CAD/CNC operation with hands-on board-building craft.

Precision has a place in this house. Jiewoo Jeong runs the CNC and handles sanding at SOMOS, working through two stages where the details matter. From the machine-cut blank to the final surface, there is plenty that needs a close eye.

Jiewoo brings that focus to the work. The curves have to survive the process, the rails have to stay true and the finish has to feel right under your hand. Small details, repeated across the board. Run your palm along one before you paddle out.
