anyone know if there is such a thing as shaping classes available anywhere? thanks in advance for any info.
I don’t know of any shaping classes, but I would suggest that you purchase Shaping 101 the video. That could technically be considered a class because you are taken through every aspect of shaping a board. www.foamez.com carries that video as well as surf shops.

Rob Brown was giving them,while he was living in the PNW…Try him at http://www.surfnwsc.com/ http://www.surfnwsc.com/
Now that the Master Shaper Series is available, Shaping 101 is almost comical to watch. It is, however, a useful video…there’s just a bit too many surfing and music clips for an instructional video like this. Thanks again, Jim. http://www.damascusproductions.com
Robert August did for a while, might still. $$$$$ check his web site.
Howzit JP, The Kula School on Kauai has a shaping class for its students,it’s taught by Ian Vernon who is also Sunburnt surfboards. I know this doesn’t really help but at least there are shaping classes out there to be had. I’ve glassed a few of the boards that come from this class and some of them are pretty good for beginners.
