The Shape Shack / Backyard built YEAH!
« on: April 22, 2015, 04:12:46 PM »
I like a good built thread as much as the next guy, i'll save that for my next post.
I am shaping in an old cabin, glassing on the porch, and  i'm sanding under the mango tree.
Here are some pics of some of my boards, and some friends and family riding them. This vid is from a clinic Lina A. had here about a month ago.The girl on the starboard surfed two hours without getting her hair wet. Good times! Hope you 'll enjoy!

Environment / Turtles in Costa Rica: Help!
« on: February 02, 2013, 07:53:50 AM »
For the past two weeks, we 've seen many dead turtles in the Golfo Dulce.
That's not pollution.
But the fishermen, not even the local fishermen, outsider fishermen; they catch the turtles and use them to catch more fishes!!!
There is a petition you may sign if you want to help. This petition will be brought to Laura Chinchilla, the Costa Rica president so she can start to change the law about the fishermen ways to work.
here is the link :

Thank you.

Gear Talk / Naish soft top repair
« on: December 07, 2012, 08:20:17 PM »
Its on the deck.
I've only seen a pick of it...about the size of a quarter from shipping.  New, never been wet....pick it up manana.  Sending it back is not an option :(
My searches have left me clueless. Looks like a little "5200" mixed with a little yellow..Voila!! Listo.. :-\

Thanks up front for any advice.

The Shape Shack / Zone influenced wave boards pics
« on: November 11, 2012, 04:41:43 PM »
I've been putting off my SUP size reduction for too long ( 've been riding 8"10 for ever).
My boards are "by design" and strongly influenced what you all type on your key board.
Things like: dome deck, knife hard edge on tail, black board looks cool, (might of gone over board on that one), carbon fiber in the right places, down to what type of track top and leash i use.
The black one is 8'4 X 28 X 3"7/8 that i absolutely love but should have gone shorter.

The fish was influenced by SUPUK: 8'0 X 28"5/8 X 4"
14' pocket down winder in process, pics coming.
Spreading the SUP stock one custom at a time and loving every minute of it.
Pura Vida,
Shawn.

The Shape Shack / carbon questions
« on: October 09, 2012, 08:40:31 AM »
ok...im gonna go for the 14' & a sup/ws(10' :-\)

If carbon on one side,top or bottom for best results? (looking for stiffness)

5.9oz Twill-is that the stuff?

Seems like those fancy carbon strips-tapes though look cool... do they really have much benefit ?

carbon stringer,worth it? Not worried about planer blades.(got heaps with my new planer)

DW..have you shaped your sup windsurfer yet???

thx ^ front

Gear Talk / $70 leash!!
« on: May 23, 2012, 08:18:01 AM »
I'm so over breaking leashes!
They can but a man on the moon..but can't keep my board of the ROCKS!
I even got one from a grande board company that sells $2000 carbon wave boards,looked strong enough but when i took it out on a guttless day...it frigen broke..wtf     

This looks good    http://www.psups.com.au/super-sup-surf-leashes/        a little steep but the same price as trip to the ding guy.
I've been tying some of my busted leases with good luck,just dont like how the anke end hangs down but oh well.At least my boards still there,even if its buckeld.. :o but thats another thread(rant)
And to all the short boarders who saved my shit from impending doom...THX
some good people out there.
