Hi all,
We have launched a website that we felt was filling a void : Surfboard Templates (http://www.surfboardtemplates.com)
The basic idea behind this is to offer a place for hobbyist shapers (and why not pros) where to share the templates of the boards they have made. It is all free, managed by hobbyist shapers for hobbyist shapers.
Each board is described properly and that makes searching for templates pretty accurate when you are looking for inspiration for your next model. Templates can also be linked to a forum thread where it has been discussed / presented in details.
So far, we have a community of a little less than 30 shapers, who have published 8 board templates. Of course, the website will take its full dimension when enough people have contributed their designs.
Also, please don’t hesitate to tell us if you see any mistake in translations or if you want to contribute for writing a few missing pieces of text (like some short descriptions about outlines, rails, fin setups, …)
Regards,
Vincent from Biarritz
