Re: [mondo] Dumpster Diver Template

Mondo, can you please send us some photos of your finished board.

The reason behind this request is to show just how easy it is for "anyone" to Become a "surfboard shaper" with the use of machines (Also we all love photos on Sways)
I know there is so much that goes into refining good performing boards, but I have seen quite a few, some of my friends, decide to become shapers. They can work there regular job build boards in their spare time, along with building team and bingo, there a recognize  local shaper. Some might even stumble on a nice rocker and there really away. 2 of my mates are now full time shapers, still asking advice on this and that.

Sometimes I wish I hard a regular job and could shape as a hobby. But Nar I could never have a boss telling me what to do, and I can surf when I want.

No doubt about it, shaping is fun, But it changes when its becomes your profession, Big time.
