I was thinking about doing this rather than spend like 300 bucks. Why not just buy a big peice of polyurethane foam, shape the way you wnat, paint it fiberglass it with poleyester fiberglass and then seal it. It doesnt seem to difficuly and if u scre up on the rails a little it wouldnt really matte ras you arent recieving to force from a huge wave and ur only going 9 mph. Any further thoughs to this would be good.

hey it's called surfboard shaping been around for years it would still end up costing you being that your up in Canada and I doubt there are alot of shapers or guys that lay glass(nothing against Canada,I was born in Edmonton) you would probably have to find a blank dealer in the U.S. and then have shipped to you than you would have to shape the blank, than you would have to probably ship it to someone that does glass in the U.S. and whuala your board would be done for about probably $200 to $250 U.S. would it ride as well as a board shaped by someone who has studied board characteristics and understands how these characteristics are effected by rider weight, water conditions, riders skill and so on. <BR> Take my advice shell out the $300 and go have fun immediatly, forget the headaches. There are companies that make much better boards than the landlock. ie; A-wakesurf board mfg. - shredd stixx - Inland Surfer and so on. Supposedly some of the big name pro surf board companies are gonna start jumping on the train too ie; Rusty, and so on.

or you could look for a used one. But hey it's worth a try, may be fun, and you would learn something!!
