Tommy Moore is back on the East Coast. TMoore shapes is back and boards are being made now here in VB. Tommy Moore is one of the best high performance and grovel board shaper in the US, not just my opinion, Matt Biolos hired him . Tommy is now back where he grew up and shaping under his label again TMoore Shapes. Its so great to be able to work with one of best board shaper/builders in the States. You are crazy to go buy a board off the rack somewhere, for what you would pay for a mass produced Channel Islands or ...lost you could get the same type of cutting edge shape board shaped from one of the best. Build quality is sick, check out my new board. I just paid for two more after this one! <br /><br />The man and my fresh new 6'-0\"<br /> <br />Tommy and my board by jblacks, on Flickr\"]<br /><br />Hit me up via PM I have his personal cell number I am not sure if he wants that just floating around the world wide web.
You can get up with him on his Myspace or Facebook. Got a 6'4x20 quad a couple years ago from him for $420
I had a 3 board order, so price per each I dont remember. Right at $500 I think is what a Poly custom is running. My board shown here is the Arctic swirl faom blank so those are a bit more, this has S-Cloth, thats a bit more, carbon tail patches a bit more, etc. I would guestimate $500.
That's a nice looking stick man, for approx. $500 you can't go wrong as long as it holds up and lasts!
Stolen Board Update- Notta, i have spanned shops, craigslist, the beach and found nothing shes still out there. Website is being developed. He is on Facebook and you can probably get up with him that way. Juice Box, or hit me up with a PM and I can give you his number. I am trying to get him to become a member here at Swell Info so he can give board design feedback and maybe give the forum guys a discount. Tmooreshapes is on Twitter as well.
Tommys built quality is the best I have ever owned. I recently sold some sticks that were 12 years old he shaped me. I can't tesitfy to the quality of the ARCTIC swirl foam its the first one he has ever done, but thats my winter shortboard so that board will be going though its R&D soon. I took it for a surf the other day in gutless 1 foot surf in boardies and the thing had ridiculous glide, and speed. Its a higher volume than what i would typically ride due to being my board for winter . In the little test ride I had though I was so suprised at how fast the board projected me out of my top turn. I had a couple little sections to do a little turn on and instead of slowing me down the top turn projected me out onto the face really quickly, which is going to be great in some bigger faster surf. I have ridden Tommys boards for awhile now, there is no better board builder/shaper for the money. There is a reason Matt Biolos recruited him.
Nice man, solid recommendation right there, sounds like a fun board. I've been considering getting a COIL board later this winter, it's not that far from me so I could stop by thoughout the process, and i've heard nothing but good things about them.
