Scared straight!!! It is scary! I am a hand shaper, but I have considered a SurfTech so it would last longer etc… The small guy will never afford to vacum a board at the price of those bug guys. And let’s face it, these hand shapers who aid in the design of the SurfTech type boards are guys like Al, … It always did scare me that Polyurethane boards yellow so quickly and really seem so fragile compared to SurfTechs. I will say it from the bottom of my heart…Shapers and glassers were so complacement and not looking out of the box that their techniques became antiquated over night!!!
Custom epoxy boards are the alternative to moldeds. Learn more about them. Any small guy can make them and compete with the Surftech’s of the world. And they aren’t any harder or more expensive to build.
