Repeat customs here for and these guys have had a couple of boards from before and its the most ideal relationship for both parties, I get to know what works best for a customer with a progressive partnership.

The extra benefits also include a great after sales service including priority surfboard repairs at a reduced price based on loyalty, better pricing on accessories, deck grip, fins , board bags, jdub merch etc at better then recommended retail for a repeat custom surfboard customer.

Makes real sense supporting a local shaper with your best interest and surfing experiences in mind.

Thanks fellas very much appreciated the ongoing support 👍🩶🙏

Some photos from the last shaping classes I ran with , he wanted a board that was stable and a great paddler , he had seen a tomo shape he admired so we worked on an outline with those characteristics while keeping all thd elements he was wanting in a board .

Edward had hands on in all aspects of the hand shaping build , templateing , planning thr board to thinckness , adding rocker and concave positioning; quad fin placement and finishing gauze

Edward wanted a resin tint and came up with a colour , I recommended a quad set up for stability and

So this potential new model came about when ordered a board a few weeks ago(last photo is his custom) he wanted to go shorter in a step up while retaining volume and paddlabilaty, we designed a step down version of the Tripper and this gor me thinking about a possible new model,

A slightly fuller outline makes it more of s daily driver and the three stage rocker i use still works for lots of new zealand waves .

Welcome to the team , I put the word out a little while ago I was looking for potential team riders and jett put his hand up.

Jetts from the awesome taranaki coast and im stoked to be making boards for a grom from one of my favorite coastlines.

We chatted about the newby, the waves intended and what he has been riding , jett is another beast of a human at over 6ft at 14yrs so I had to consider his growth and how thaf would impact any board J put him on
We choose the revised Mutant model for the naki coast and did a few minor adjustments to accommodate his riding style.

How a shaper/Team rider should always work IMO is the rider shows a good moral compass a good ambassador for Jdub Surfboards nz. , be actively endorses the brand and willing to form a long lasting relationship to get the best out of my ability to tune a board to fit well .

Another great shaping classes board out the door , was wanting a big boy fish and had always wanted to shape his own board since childhood. This was the 7'3" we made together at the Jdub Surfboards nz. Factory.

Dreams really do come true and he was very happy with the finished results. Simon was a natural and did all aspects of the shaping process, marking out the template, cutting the outline, thicknessing, foiling the rails , node and tail thinkness; the beak in the nose, cutting in thr bottom conquers, fin placement and finally his signing the board. We also discussed fin configuration and placement, simon favors quad fins and I recommend the set pictured to fit the board.

If you would like to design and shape your own board with one of NZ most experienced hand shapers DM for details .

Customs is what is all about and wanted to try an auckland based shaper after moving up from gisborne.

Richardo likes to chase big waves with barrels and has a few boards in the quiver , the idea of this Tripper model build for him was to retain as much paddlabilaty in a shorter package.

Im very happy with the outcome on this one ,the build flowed start to finish . Its almost a mini tripper thd way we keep a fuller outline and packing 37L into a 6'1" .

Moving forward in thd coming weeks ive had a bereavement in the family but plan to put my head down and push through ive got a few customs on thd go atm so looking forward to keeping the flow going .

Cheers for the belief and looking forward to my next custom order from you brother !!
