Traditional hand shaping from start to finish over one amazing weekend.

Glassed and finished by a pro, so your board will look great for years to come.
My aim is to make your course as fun, enjoyable and informative as possible. For some this will be the start of an addictive hobby, and for others, a memorable once in a lifetime experience that will enable you to own and ride a board shaped by your own hands, and have a greater understanding of the boards you buy and ride, and respect for the work that has gone into producing that piece of equipment.
Should you decide you love shaping boards too much to stop at just one, I hope this course will give you the confidence you will need to take your new found skills and apply them in a home setting.
Shaping a surfboard is a process unique to every shaper….there are no hard and fast rules. In this course you will be learning my own very hands on approach to shaping, with a strong emphasis on hand tools ( non power tools) enabling you to take it slow and really get a feel for the foam, sculpting and carving out a refined shape that will feel just as good under your feet as it will feel in your hands….its how I've been creating great custom surfboards for 14 years!
A unique experience - what to expect …
