Performance Longboard: Shaper Breakdown

shapingboards — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:14:23 +0000

This board blends a bit of the old world with the new. A lot of times performance longboards lose all their performance because they have way too much rocker/ bottom curve to make them practical….unless your only surfing bowly beachbreak…and c’mon …really…? Nobody wants to ride a longboard that feels like it’s pushing water. So, [...]

Hi Todd, This is Mark from Taiwan. Got the proxy Greased Pig in June, but we had the longest flat spell ever until last week we had some shoulder to head high Typhoon waves. As usual the board works insane and you got the volume just right, It’s even faster and fits tighter in the [...]

Hey Todd. Hope all is well. You have got my attention with this Monsta board. I saw the vid and you had mentioned that the board could be rode from ankle high to triple overhead. Would that be 3 to 5 inches still shorter than my normal 6’2″. I’ve seen alot of guys (Slater) riding [...]

Hello again I was wondering if it was possible to order another board? The board you guys made for me was great. I just spent two months in Bali with it and it has really helped me with my surfing. I feel its time to take things to the next level. So I’ve decided to [...]

Hi Todd and Charissa. My name’s Kyle and I’m a surfer from Van Isle Canada. The waves recently have died off after an amazing winter consisting of an Indo trip and some amazing pacific surf. What a winter we had, I’m sure it was just as good down there if not better. Over the last [...]

super quick board, but with the hold and maneuverability of a performance shortboard

shapingboards — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:40:46 +0000

Todd, Since moving to San Diego from the SF Bay Area about five years ago, I have been on a quest to find a small wave board for average everyday surf. I’ve experimented with everything from groveler type boards to modernized fish types and have not been able to find that magic shape that I [...]

What type of board would Todd recommend for a beach break type of wave that is really short and pretty weak? Looking for something that can generate speed very quickly as the wave doesn’t give you much time to build speed. Ok, this is where one of those new designs I was talking about would [...]
