Name of shaper and city where they shape

I've been reading some of the threads and thought it would be good to start a thread on your shaper and why you like him, that way if anyone wants to get a surfboard shaped and don't have one they can read here for ideas.

My current shaper is Micah Shanahan from Addict Surfboards in San Diego, CA. Awesome shaper, totally dig that he can make some great boards in old and new styles with different matterials.

So far I've gotten an epoxy shortboard, Carbon Fiber Shortboard (eps wraped in epoxy and carbon), tripple stringer PU gun, foam stringer epoxy fish (no wood stringer) and a PU wood fin twin fish.

Post up yours!!!

Greg Sauritch - http://www.sauritchsurfboards.com has shaped over 40,000 boards and shaped for the likes of rob machado also worked with ripcurl/moonlight glassing/ and rusty surfboards so his credentuals are pretty good :D he is based in Encinitas, San Diego right opposite the famous surf break Swami's

I have had 4 boards shaped all PU as im not a fan of epoxy although he handshapes epoxies as well.

My current boards are a 7'6 speed egg a 6'4 shortboard with some cool artwork, a 6'2 high preformance shortboard and a 6'0 high preformance shortboard on its way. I am stoked to have him as a shaper as each board i get is perfectly to my needs.

My next board will probably be a mini gun of some sort but i need to get some funds together.
