This is an easy to follow shaping method that will show you how to shape a great performing surfboard on your first try. No special tools or experience necessary. Most that follow this method are surprised to find that their shape rides every bit as good as a brand name board that costs three times as much. Even though this method is perfect for the first time shaper, it is also used by many advanced and professional shapers that shape in locations without electricity or access to advanced power tools. I have used this exact method to shape professional level surfboards in garages, hotel rooms and even on the beach of an exotic surf location.
