Every essential tool you need to Shape a Board is linked down below!
In today's video I give you the low-down on every basic tool you need to shape a board a home.
In my opinion, there are three different levels of surfboard shaping tools-Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.
The level of tools depend on how much you want to get into shaping boards and how much money you are willing to spend on shaping tools. Do you want to one board and be done? Do you want shape a quiver? or do you want to even start selling off some boards?
You can get the job done with the ESSENTIAL beginner tools, but the intermediate and advanced tools help make the shaping process faster and more efficient. Like I said in this video, it took me 36 hours to shape my first board with the level one beginner tools- just a block of wood, sand paper, saw, and basic planer. These tools are of course not as efficient, however, they are LOW budget.
As you continue to buy more and more tools, the faster and more efficient shaping surfboards become with a little less money in the piggy bank. ;)
I hope you learn some essential tips from this video.
