I shape boards on cape cod. I use EPS foam coated with zerovoc so the boards are very durable. http://www.capecodsurfco.com/Wuilly_Surfboards.html

 

Roger Beal is THE man in NE. He's a California-bred and trained (has worked for G+S and others) shaper who currently lives on the South Shore, MA. You can reach him through Noreaster surf shop. He is on Surfing magazines list of the top shapers of all time.

LSD

 

Levy Makes the sickest boards in NE. He shaped me a nice stubby wide nose quad and it's been a magical board. Best sessions I've ever had on it. Highly recommended.
