What shaper would you use?

8’6 x 17.4 x 22.25 x 13.8 x 2.85 - Mild nose concave to double tail concave, 2+1 fins at 6/16, EPS/epoxy  RP high performance long board…

Looking for recommendations for a west coast shaper that does these regularly, and doesn’t take a couple of months or more to get a board from.

Also would value opinion on EPS/epoxy glassing schedule.  My 4 yr old  Rusty epoxy HPLB was bombproof, the new epoxy HPLB just recently made by another shop seems much spongier…

thanks!

I probably would have made it 17.5" N and 13.75" in the tail so I guess I am out.

 

That rules out Rich Pavel

That chick in the shapewear ad on this page is kinda hot!

LOL…every time I have ordered a board, I throw out some dims, and then print on gthe order form under comments “nose and tail dims for reference only, final dims per shaper”

 

I’d love to see some pictures of similar boards from the shapers in the room…

Yea,thats what keeps me coming back to this thread!

I recomend Icc. Talk all up and down the "west coast" is that he's the latest greatest new shaper around! And I heard he uses Stingray's epoxy glassing methods to make his boards light and strong.

I would and could easily do that for you; but am so interim and mobile right now that it is difficult for me to keep my $#!t together enough to fill a few shop orders.   Maybe in the fall.  If you are still planning to go to the locale I mentioned to you in my PM;  Joe could easily do the same.  AND it would most likly be a board that you would never sell and pass on to your son.  But;  probably not EPS.

all you need is a wife, 3 kids, and 5 grandkids with another on the way, and you will suddenly find yourself much less interim and mobile…LOL…

trying out surfboards from a new shaper is kind of like going out with a new gal…and after decades of marriage, I only get one out of the two… :slight_smile:

ping me next time you’re this way, even if it’s just to b.s. over a beer at the Pelican…

Is 8'6" a Longboard?  But I digress That should be for another thread. 

For this to make any sense at all We should have this set up by regions of the west coast. San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles  How far up should we go Washington? or make this international with Canada included?   My morning Coffee hasn't kicked in yet. I'm being a bit of a jerk.

lol, me too !
