Anyone buy, plan on buying the Brewer shaping video? The clip looks pretty good.
The Brewer video is a must if you're a shaper (Beginner or Experienced).
FOAM EZ has them.
Hope you’re right.
(While I’m at it, Surfding, IF that’s your real name, the words “you are” are contracted to “you’re”. Just be glad I’m not a moderator, or this could have gone into your permanent record.)
Surfding , GregTate is now your english teacher and you are now resposible for everthing you say and if you don't get it right he's going to smack you up side the head with a ruler!!!
glad you laughed
Greg:
I should know better! When I was living in France the English Man I was working with made fun of me because I always wrote there when I should have used their. He was more concerned with the spelling than the content in my reports. I need to be more careful. I read, write and speak Spanish and French and both Nationalities comment on my errors in their mother languages. Even in my Mother tongue I fall short! LOL!
I need to down load Fire Fox and get the spell checker for my browser.
Thanks Greg for the correction. I will make an effort to spell correctly in the future.
Kindly received and Best regards,
Surfding
Surfding, Don't worry about it. Heck, I am so bad at spelling you wouldn't believe. I flunked the first grade! I have never met anyone that flunked first grade! I think the only reason I graduated from highschool is because they wanted to get rid of me!! This thread was supposed to be about Dick Brewer. I guess I lost my way. Maybe thats OK though because Bewer has shaped most of my boards over the years and I have watched him shape many a time. We used to wind surf together. We even named a place after him.( Brewers Landing). Yes he really can shape magic boards and when you brake one just take it back and he can make another exactly the same!! Which of coarse you will also brake.
This is cool too YouTube - Dick Brewer
I found it after I watched the clip vpravada mentioned.
A Brewer how to - wow!
For me Dick Brewer's shaping is the begining of all good fuctional design. I love his design logic.
Look at all the great shapers at apprenticed under him:
Gary Linden
Pat Rawson
Brewer, a self-proclaimed shaping guru, served as a teacher and an inspirer of a radical band of young surfers during those radical times. His apprentices and team riders read like a who's who of the era: Reno Abellira, Sam Hawk, Owl Chapman, Gerry Lopez, Jock Sutherland, Jeff Hakman, Jimmy Lucas, Buddy Boy Keohe, Leslie Potts, Larry Strada, Gary Chapman -- and the list goes on. Brewer has clearly been one of the most influential surfboard shapers of all time.
“Which of coarse you will also brake.” I laughed all morning over that. Thx. All in good fun.
Back to Dick, I can’t wait for the video. What a chance to learn from a master. $50 bucks is a little steep, but it didn’t keep me from ordering it. Hope he makes a fortune.
