hey dudes, im looking to buy a longboard and after hearing good things about getting one custom built iv been looking for shapers in uk. iv found a few looking on the internet but dont know if some are better than others. anybody know who the good ones are? i live near swansea in south wales so any in the area would be ideal but any in the uk would be sweet.

John Purton (jp boards) is a good shaper, you can get hold of him through a shop called Citysurf (Castle arcade, Cardiff). Not sure whether he makes longboards though. Best to give them a ring.
