    I've seen some boards from twin lights Gloucester MA that look pretty nice. That's pretty close to you.

    Hi, first post here to chime in for the many great shapers in N.E. Yes Chino as above, nice looking boards. Also Roger Beal in Hingham MA is excellent and rather legendary. He's from San Diego and worked for G&S and Rusty for many years. He's done four boards for me, all of them exceptional. He works through Nor'Easter surf shop in Scituate and you can probably see his boards there. Vec on the Cape has a great reputation and a shop in Orleans. I've seen 5 Star boards at Cinnamon Rainbows in Hampton Beach, NH - nice HPSB shapes. Down in RI you have Spirare and Levy both of whom are great shapers. Spirare works with alternative construction techniques, recycled foam and I think Vec and Chino are into that too. My Spirare mini Simmons is fantastic and, as surfboards go, seemingly indestructible.

    I think a free chino tee shirt is in order for a board purchase! Give a shout if you ever come to RI. Would be down to check out a hipstah.

    Can't go wrong with VEC/Twin Lights, VEC shapes and Keith Natti of Twin Lights Glassing in Gloucester does the glassing. They both do great work.
