A custom hand shaped and hand painted surfboard for Jeff🎨 🇺🇸 When I started shaping surfboards in 92-93 I remember the learning curve of hand shaping would take anywhere from 4-7 hours in the first year depending on the size board🙌🏾 ✍🏽 I went through the retail store not once but twice since 1993 and a combined time frame of 10-11 years and making it through the recession as well⛓ 👣 I hand shaped boards for numerous shops up and down the coast from Infinity to Hobie and everyone in between and a store in Japan🌍 👣 Keep in mind I hand shaped every single board and yes it was a lot of work and I learned many things in the process of doing so🗝 🔓 One of the points of this time capsule is I am a craftsman a custom builder of surfboards of all shapes and sizes and I still enjoy the true art of Hand shaping🎨 👁 Thank you for all the support and positive intentions🗝 much appreciated👍🏾 .
