your local shaper. most of the time the deck is pure white with the stringer running down the middle. and it even rides well. now that is a good one.

Hi there!
It depends where you live but around but all over Australia you will find some great shapers such as cory boards who shapes in victoria and also byrne surfboards and hayden shapes who shape in nsw etc. good luck

The best one l ever met is Ralph who lives on the Hanalei River in Hanalei, Kauai..

an Australia called Caspian,,, he has done surfboards for heaps of famous bands, pearl jam, foo fighters, korn,,,,
