Né à Costa Mesa, en Californie, Tanner Prairie a passé ses journées à surfer chez Blackies, à Newport Beach, où il a noué des amitiés qui font encore partie de sa vie.
En 2008, le shaper de longue date Mike Marshall le prend sous son aile et lui transmet l'art du shape. Mike avait façonné des planches comme la Trestles Special et la Cheater pour Harbour Surfboards au début des années 60. Tanner réside aujourd'hui à Costa Mesa et continue de shaper et tester ses créations le long de la côte.

In 2008, longtime shaper Mike Marshall took him under his wing and passed on the art of shaping. Mike had shaped boards like the Trestles Special and the Cheater for Harbour Surfboards in the early 60s. Tanner now lives in Costa Mesa and keeps shaping and testing his boards along the coast.
