So I recently started my own surfboard shaping blog detailing my experience with shaping, glassing, sanding, and surfboard restoration. If your just starting out, it might provide some useful information. The blog contains pics and content of my first few hand-shaped boards and the beginnings of the development of my company Reverie Surfboards. Please check out the site and feel free to comment! Thanks. Check it out at www.markosurf.wordpress.com
