Shaping friends suffer loss during Hurricanes

General Discussion

My Buddy Steve Forstall had the roof blown off his shaping factory during the hurricane and it flooded his factory. I am sure some of the other shapers in the area suffered losses as well.

Put these guys in your prayers and thoughts.

The guys in central Florida will be missing some great shaped epoxy if Stevie decides to take a vacation.

Hey Solo,

Greg’s shop was/is right next door to forstalls place. Do you know how they made out? Right next door ,seems as if his place would be trashed as well.I hope all is well with them. Thanks for any info.

I am not sure about Greg or Larry Pope and Rich price either. Have not spoken to Ricky Carroll. I hope they are all doing ok.

I’m looking to get a new board and would love to give one of these guys my business anyway to contact them. Not worried about the time it would take knowing the situation would just like to send them some business.

Thanks

We lost our roof too. Sam is working to get all back up and running. I think we’ll be down in FL for a couple weeks… I hope. Depends on Ivan. In the meantime if anyone needs resin, we are still shipping out of AZ. Nice thing about having two locations.

I talked to Larry on 9/8/04 and he said his place was fine and he was moving back in. What a good person he is. If any of you guys need a place to work my room is almost done but still could be worked in. It might not be as nice as some of the ones Larry has but if you need to work let me know at artdkt@aol.com, (shaping)

Would love to see the pics that you had of Steve’s boards, solosurfer… Really liked a couple that you posted a while back.

solosurfer,

regarding the board on the far left of the picture you posted, what are the specs (length, fin set-up, etc) on that beauty?

Fabulous pic. Any more? I like how he shapes the noses - I have a personal aversion to sharp pointy noses. Mahalo solosurfer…
