Just downloaded shapeing 101 and it doesnt look to taxing.

I got lucky and had an actual person teach me. :D

Apparently Shaping 101 isn't too bad, but I was taught to do the rails by hand, much more accurate.

I don't know anything about the geography of england, but maybe you could talk to kitesurfer?
