If you surf and you haven't shaped a surfboard yet, you are missing out. There's a good chance that the surfboard you shape is going to suck, but that's not really the point. The point of shaping a surfboard is to get your hands in the foam, to put a bit of yourself into the board you're going to ride, and to appreciate what goes into making a surfboard that actually works. On its face, shaping a surfboard is relatively simple: carve a chunk of foam into something that resembles a surfboard, then cover it in fiberglass. If you do those two things, you will have something that works — not well, but it'll work. But learning how to shape a surfboard can be daunting.
