Heap of work goes into the board when handshaped, stilla fair bit even when machined as well though with the glassing and sanding.

Awesome!  shaka

Shaping a board is such an art. Theres so much more love and dedication that goes into a hand shaped board rather than a computer shaped…

I was fortunate enough to visit the DHD shaping bay on the goldie about 10 years ago. Massive factory and more foam and glass then you could poke a stick at.. I even got a sneek peak at some MF’s quiver! Epic stuff!
