Hi Larry ,
Can’t find anything bout "Matt Calvanti " on google search … any idea how to contact him ?

If you’re going through moonlight glassing, you really should get your bonzer by one of the inventors of the bonzer. Call moonlight glassing (little wonder their phone is called the “bonzer hotline”) and have them set you up with a campbell brothers bonzer. It’s the only way to go!
As for the fish, they have a great young shaper working there as well, by the name of DJ Kane. He is apprenticing under some of the industry greats, and is turning out some unbelievable fish with a really quick turnaround.
On the quad, that I don’t know… But again, if you want glass by moonlight, just call them up and tell them what you’re looking for. They’ll get you set up with someone who does great quads too, I’m sure.
Andi, i would go with DK for fishes and quads and with GH for the Bonzer through Moonlight if you want to avoid the waiting list of the Campbell Bros.

Greg Griffin for the fish and quad. He tends to show his “clear and sanded”, but he can get them done with ultra color glossy finishes too.
Campbell bros for the bonzer.
Hi Andi,
I seen your post and thought this website would interest you. There is a list of shapers from around the world and bios of some of them.

Matt Calvani - remove the “t”
Thx guyz … tried moon light glassing , wait list 6 mths … Any better options ? Nice glassing will do .
i second DJ Kane.
he shaped me an insane quad fin speeddialer a couple months ago and the turnaround time wasn’t two bad; all in all about 3 months.
the thing is a rocket. no joke.
steve@westcoastglassing.com, about a month or so!
ACE, is that bottom as flat as it looks ?
It looks like a board for head high or under. There must be tons of drive with all those fins.
I wonder could Herb supercharge it and make it an 8 finner.
Sorry to take so long in replying been in Baja doing some r&d. {If you want to check out family, friends, waves in Baja “baja dec 07” link on website will get you there}.
The boards bottom is typical of all my boards…Flatish nose to slight convex mid to flat paneled V. Because of the xtra holding power the fins provide these work pretty good even in alittle bigger wave. Come from behind the peak really well.
There is ALOT of drive for sure, BUT still has strong twin fin roots. When set up right the fins are not noticeable just do their job.
Anyone ride MR.Erik Hakon Olson (EHO) board before ? He sounds like a good guy to deal with . Mandala just too much hassle to deal with … thx .
Anyway my budget $680.00~$750.00 .
I have a quad fish shaped a guy named Ian Zamora. He has been doing amazing work, and I would recommend him. He is out of Southern California. Good luck and keep us updated.

I second DK for quad fish. His turnaround time including glassing was 2 months flat and he’s shaped boards for some pretty hot surfers.
DJ apprenticed under Rich Pavel and moonlight glassing is top notch… win win.
