Wanna learn
to shape a board???? We give lessons 2-3
times a week right here at in our own E-Z Shape Box. Our instructor, Chas Wickwire, has lots of
experience as he has been shaping for over twenty years! Chas learned the ropes under the tutelage of
Rich Harbour of Harbour Surfboards.
Our Shape Lessons
are great for everyone, young and old, because each lesson is customized to
meet your needs. Sure, you can learn to shape on your own by trial and error,
which can be frustrating at times, or you can have someone guiding you along
the way. With the help of a professional by your side, your board will come out
looking, and riding great. Along with books and DVD's, the Foam E-Z
Professional Shaping Lessons are another way to educate board builders of every
level.
The cost for the Shape lessons are
$60/hr. Average time for a shortboard shape lesson is 4 hours and a long board
takes approximately 5 hours. You are welcome to bring your buddy, dad, sister,
brother, mother, or anyone you'd like to watch at no extra cost. Shape lessons
are great for school projects. Each lesson is tailored to suit each student's
needs and interests. At the end of the lesson each student will have learned
about board design, functionality, basic and advanced shaping techniques. All
students will walk away with a functional and aesthetically pleasing custom
surfboard to be proud of.
