    Hey!!! That sounds great !!!
    1. Go buy a gun
    2. Put on a billabong shirt
    3. Shoot yourself in the face

    This is the only way to cure yourself of being a tool who wants to shape brah

    I'm so sick of these kids asking questions on how to shape. Did you google how to masturbate? If you need to ask questions your not creative nor mindful enough to develop anything let alone shape a surfboard. So now since your so determined to shred on something you crafted out of a sample pack visit google and read the 50 sites about how to shape a piece of ish made by kooks just like you. This is getting old stop trying to be shapers.... You probably suck and should focus on making a few turns before riding your dingy.

    And if you need surf supplies go to k coast and get a cool hat.

    Shaping

    Brian @ Greenlight is really good to work with, you can contact him throughout the process and he will get back to you to help. He will remind you many times, it is a surfboard, just shape it, sand it, surf it... Swaylocks and Youtube have a ton of info too, just go for it.

    Yeah seriously delawareskim, what's your deal? God forbid anybody wanted to try shaping their own board, right? What do you care? You're not riding it.

    Oc, good luck with shaping bro. Hope it shreds so you can throw some buckets on kooks like this kid.

    Hey Oc, Not to steal business from Greenlight, but there is a great thread somewhere on here... I think it's under home depot board. The person who posted did a great job going through with photo evidence on how to make a black for cheap from materials at Home Depot. I think it's under Home Depot Board Build or something. Anyway check that out.. Thats what I based my free wooden pallet stand off of for the few boards I have crafted. Also, just remember if it floats with you on it, it will surf... Maybe not well, but it will surf. Have fun and good luck! If you do end up making a shape post it up.
