Greenlight Shaper's Sanctuary Grand Opening ~ Belmar, NJ

I live in the mar. Sick idea. anyway, how much is it going to be to rent the booth per hour? Also, are you going to sell supplies?

Why is there school for girls only?

 

this is a really cool idea...too bad it's in belmar! i'd be there every weekend if it were closer!

 

christ Belmar. Now every guido in north jersey is going to be surfing their own IROC-Z designed surfboard. Happy Times!!

 

I'll try to hit it up this weekend...stoked to see the shaping bay!

 

sweettt ill be there this winter

 

congrats on the new shop brian. will be up next week to drop off a board and pick up some supplies.

 

wait i don't understand whats going on? i live in squan so i dont mind coming to belmar plus im here all the time. i pay 25 an hour and i can work on a board? so i can pay 25 dollars and end up coming out with a freshly shaped board? confused as **** haha

 

no, you rent the shaping bay for 25 an hour, meaning that you bring your blank, glass an whatever, and you use the tools they have to shape your board. So you'll probably end up paying 500$ (20hrs) if you do everything in there...

 

forget that then haha, rather just call my local shaper and get a board for half the price

 

It took me about 4 or 5 hours to shape a board the other day in a borrowed shop then i just glassed it in my kitchen. About $225 I think for material if I bought a blank, but I recycled a longboard. So then your at $350, even if it cost you over $400 Id rather ride a board built by me exactly how I want it. I saw the room the other day too its a pretty sweet set up.

 

Can i get the number or name of the local shaper you use??? would love to get a board for $250

 

I stopped in yesterday to get some materials and it is an ideal setup. Hopefully Brian will put together some sort of "package deal" where you can get all the materials and shaping room time bundled together for a good price. Like, less than an off-the-rack major label.

 

I'll be honest, I'm big about supporting local shapers and have ordered quite a few custom's from Brian Wynn...and straight up love supporting him.

However, there is nothing like making your own board (as well as riding it)! From determining the outline, rocker(s), rails, contours, fin placement, etc. I have learned more about surfboard design from the more than 32 shapes I have made then I have reading or buying a board. To tell you the truth, now, when ordering a custom, I am way more informed and know what I like and what i need... In addition, I can appreciate what Wynn and Brasco and other guys like them are able to do more now then ever...!

I definitely recommend giving it a whirl...and Brian (greenlight) is super cool from order to advice, etc. Plus he is totally on it when it comes to alt. designs--ask about his asymmetricals!

Lastly, no matter what you make realize everything works to a certain extent...just take a look at Ryan Birch...what a freak!

 

I saw some of those asymetricals, there pretty wild looking must be fun to ride.

 

That room looks sick! Can't wait to swing by and check it out.

 

You know what IROC stands for .....
