ok folks, as amny of you will be aware i have been shaping boards for all my friends 30th birthdays and last saturday was my 30th!
woohoo, we had a wicked weekend camping and surfing and my friends and girlfriend have all chipped in to buy me a board for my birthday, what makes it by far the best present ever is it will be shaped for me by Mike Peet at Atlantic surfboards of Devon!
the only problem is i have to decide what to get him to shape. im meeting him at his place on saturday to discuss things and i know between the two of us we will come up with something sweet but id really like some suggestions from you guys!
its going to be my first ever visit to a shaper even though ive built 8 boards myself so im really looking forward to hanging with him for the day.
my current quiver is as follows
6’4 Fish (first ever shape)
6’5 shortboard with single box and probox quad setup
8’10 pintail with single box and probox quad setup.
im allowed anything upto 9’6 but if i decide to go bigger id chip in towards it.
i mostly surf north wales beach and reef breaks, occasionly get down to devon and cornwall and a couple of times a year head out to Morrocco for some right hand point action.
my initial thoughts are a nice big noserider but im really undecided. its almost too much choice.
really hoping you guys can help me out!
