shapers in delmarva

in VB, look at Mike Doyle's work. he's in WRV. Then there's Tim Nolte just N of OBX. He was Mike apprentice. He was doing stuff with carbon fibers in a giant seal-a-meal in the 90's.

 

Jon Ashton has been shaping in West Ocean City for a long time. I've been buying boards from Jon forever and they are the best I've found anywhere.

John does make great boards. I have never owned one only because I tend to buy off the rack and John rarely has boards in shops. But I have seen many, from Mitchell's boards to friends that have customs. I'm always amazed at how perfect they look. Everyone who I know that owns them swears they are great looking and riding boards.

 

I was thinking about checking with Tim Nolte about a longboard. I have an old 8 ft made by him.
Here's the link to his website:

Mike Hague in Lewes makes a good board, eps/poly/wood/resin tints, etc.

Jordan Brazie of valaric surfboards in vb makes some great retro shapes

 

Phil Taylor. He is in fruitland, shaped me a board almost a year ago. Does absolutely great work and has put out some sweet boards. I think Salty at Endless Summer has a few in stock if you want to check out his work. Message me if you want his number too.

 

+1 - bought my first custom from him last year and looking to get another, best board I've ever had.
