What up friends, I am not the type to ask for help … but is there any way i can watch someone shape in oceanise? i can sweep your booth, buy you some beer, and be appreciative as hell!
I just started shaping and airbrushing and am absoulutely IN LOVE with the process… but i am a visual learner and i am a little crossed eyed from reading so many threads on here.
I just surfed my first board i made, it looks sick but surfs mediocre at best. too lil foam in tail and/or double concaves too deep is my guess :( (i learned how not to do everything on it) haha
I am a bit of a perfectionist and am totally bummed my board is working less than great!!!
Anywho, thought it would be worth asking. Thanks for reading.
The Hobie shop in Dana Point has a windowed shaping room that Gary Larson shapes in on occasion and Jed Noll has a similar set up at his shop here in San Clemente as well.
Send a message to Barry Synder he is here a lot. It is one thing to watch a guy shapea board and another to watch a true master. Barry is one is a master and worth watching and learning from. Another source would be to buy Jim phillips DVD set on shaping.
