    I started shaping a few months ago and I've done two boards and I'm working on a third all for my self. If you want a custom board please contact me! Price would just be cost of materials, I just want to get more experience. if you have any tips for a newer shaper let me know!

    The second attachment won't work. Interesting colors. I've always wanted to shape a few boards. Keep up the work amigo. What are your material costs?

    Shaping, glassing, sanding? or just shaping?

    Yeah I'd throw in a bone or two for a sweet fish, especially since LB shut me down that time.
    Looking for a 5'9-6' in 34L range with single to double concave, fuller nose, dove tail and a medium rail. I'd like it to have a leash plug strong enough to support my knotte. Oh an it gots to be epoxy. I like to walk around with my board, can't have it be heavy, I'm not from Belmar you know

    i tried to repost the other picture. price can vary depending on the blank i gotta use for the shape but usually around 90 or so for a blank (depends on size). Glassing is a bit pricey starting at 200 and then plus plus plus for color, tail patches, etc. Its that much because I'm doing this with a local NJ shaper who has been like teaching me and giving me tips and stuff so i would charge what he charges me to use his materials

    I'm up it i've never done an epoxy before though haha i think i want a little more experience with polys and stuff before i go into other materials. On the other hand if you wanna put the money out for it I'm more than willing to try

    Cool boards Eric, keep it up.

    Towel, were you out lastnight? It was surprisingly decent. This morning probably was too ... but I blew it bigtime.

    Not sure what size you're looking for on the fish but this 5'11 WRV quad has been on CL for 6 months - bet you could snag it for three hundo. Is tropical puke-smoothie the color combo you've been dreaming of?

    sure was, went out after work. missed this meowrning due to slaving for the man.
    that wrv looks sweet, plus the "awesome" leash could potentially be the necessary cherry on top.
    thats a shark repellant color scheme, right?
