Gonna watch my board get shaped!

Postby Manhattan Beach Grom » Tue Sep 15, 2009 3:18 am

Hey everyone. I am having a custom board shaped for me from Becker and I get to go watch on Saturday. The shaper's name is wheatley. I have never seen a board shaped in real life before so it should be a pretty shweet experience. Then on Monday I get to see one side of it glassed! I can't wait to go. The board is going to be a 6'2" tri fin. I am gonna post some pics ASAP for you all to see. Has anyone on here ever seen their board get shaped before?
