hi i live in dana point, california and i am a grom who lives and sleeps with surfing in mind. All i’ve wanted to do was start shaping even if it turned out bad. Well, i was wondering if you could tell me the building blocks of shaping. MAYBE if i open a company in a couple years ill make you a board hahahah! thankyou!
Hi Kameron, I think this thread should be in the General Discussion.
Cheers
Check the archives here at Swaylocks. With a little patience you can gather a wealth of surfboard building tips that’ll help you with shaping. If you’re in Dana Point, why not check out the shops around there that build a lot of surfboards and have a few shapers. Offer to sweep the floor, fix dings, strip wax, anything to get you in the door and closer to the shaping rooms. Or drive up to Ventura sometime. I’d be happy to pass along what little I know.

Hey KIddo…try to get a job cleaning up for free.Be very polite.If they say no just go to the parking lot once a week and wax their cars.Persistance pays.
