Hi. Anyone who has a link to, or can recommend a Brazilian shaper for shortboards? If I buy a board off the rack I tought I might save some cash if I go for a local shape instead of Lost, Xanadu etc… If someone know of any prices (Lost++ as well) that would be excellent. Thanks.
Try www.xsurfboards.com he has a new container of blanks Andrea should be able to help you Let hin know ever you got his name from All the best Peter
Sorry xsurfboards is in italy
Xoma, are there any good waves in Natal? I’m friends with some people there and plan on going back some time.
Xoma, Avelino A. Bastos makes great boards under the Tropical Brasil label. I think he’s in Florianopolis (southern Brazil). He shapes for pros Flavio Padaratz, Piu Periera, and others, and the few of his boards that I’ve ridden were all magic. Try searching his name on google and you’ll find his website.
Thanks alot, that was what I was looking for. I know the custom boards are cheap as *#%, anyone who knows the price of the rack from more well known shapers? And no, I’m not from SA/Durban, sorry, but my mate from there keeps telling me about sick waves! x
Xoma,
There are a lot of good shapers in Brazil, I'm in Rio de Janeiro , there are Wetworks (Jocca Scco, Ricardo Martins, Hennek), Udo Bastos, Lelot, and others, this guys make boards for almost WCT and WQS top surfers from Brazil, if you would like buy a board, here it's more cheap buy a board on rack.
Matt,
There are good waves in Natal, Pipa, Baia Formosa, Ponta Negra, Tabatinga...
