Looking to have a board (Quad Egg) made by a semi local shaper (Boston, MA)

Hi how is everyone doing?  I am new to the forum and all but I thought this would be a good place to post and see if anyone is a local shaper or knows of a local shaper that could make a new board for me.  I am not looking to drop a ton of dough (hopefully around $300-400) on the new stick and I think it would be cool to have an up and coming shaper make the board while also helping him/her further hone their craft.  The board that I am looking to have made is a 7'2"-7'4" quad egg.  I just got back from nicaragua and was riding a 6'8" quad egg and loved it and wanted to have one made for myself up here.  6'8" was a touch small for me so I was thinking of something right at the 7'2"-7'4" mark.  I am also not the biggest FCS fan so I would really like it if the shaper was familiar with Future set ups.  Basically i am looking for something super fun and fast, great float, awesome paddle power, and an overall wave catching machine.  As for my ability I would honestly rate myself as a progressing beginner to ultra low level intermediate and I am looking to seriously progesss this summer and go back to Nica in November and be able to catch more waves and have even more fun.  As for my height and weight, i am 5'8" and 180lbs.  The board I mainly ride is an 8'6" epoxy longboard but I also have a 6'4" Oxbow retro fish and a 6'5" 5 Star Raven.  If anyone could help me out or steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.  Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I live in Boston but am frequently in NH, RI, and have family in Rockaway so even though thats not NE i could probably make that work as well.  Thanks again. 

 

 

I know 3 guys in your area, one in Boston specifically and he posts here from time to time. Look up John Chino surfboards. The others are Dave Levy and Kevin Cunningham in RI, both are good guys and make great boards. Kevin posts here also.
