Hey guys, just posting a shameless plug for two friends of mine I met during an island surfing trip in January. They started a small surfboard shaping studio a while back, and they're now looking to upgrade. If you're into surfing or kiting with a surfboard, you should definitely drop by their current studio!
For the about the same money as a new boad, if not less, you could shape your own over the following months, ready in time to show it off at the spit come spring!
