Surfboard Shaping Now

Stuart Paterson — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 06:12:43 +0000

Through digital drawing of the surfboard blank, the surfer is able to watch their feedback incorporated directly into the surfboard design. The process creates a completely accurate foundation for the board that is then machine cut.

Later in the factory shaping room Stuart goes through the refining hand work that is needed for a perfectly finished product.

After many years of shaping with jigs and machines there is a trend emerging for the interest back to complete hand shaping. There is a call for both in the modern world of surfboard construction, we can accommodate both here at pccboards.

There are arguments that have to-ed and fro-ed for decades about what is right or perceived the better way. The question is un answerable, only relative to the desire or situation of the people interested.

In the picture above – taken by Craig Stroe from Southwave.com.au – we can see the process taking place in the nerve centre of the surfboard factory.

Craig of Southwave.com.au has recently posted some insightful shots and wording, as a small view into what happens in the shapers world. Go over there and take a look at Craig’s site, there are some great post of daily waves, surf reports and more at southwave.com.au

Diving

In 2009 after developing and riding my version of the mini simmons for the period spanning september into march 2010, I tacked into a new direction.

I wanted to test my new found understanding of the planing hull incorporated into a performance short board. The first boards I tinkered with were a 5’7 for Grant Muir and a 5’9 for myself. There was relatively high success right away. The board was nick named the Stuey Diver. These boards worked very much in tune with my imaginative theory on surface area attuned with more acute rail angle and way flatter bottom curves than I had experimented (outside of the simmons concept)

Later I moved toward a slightly longer version that could hold it’s rail up to 5 feet of surf, keeping the concepts of the STUEY DIVER at the fore front of the design. The model was nick named the JUNIOR DIVER (which is a pinch of gibson guitar influence) this has turned out to be the most popular :pcc design to date. My personal version of this design is 5 10 X 20 X 2 1/2 made from a styrofoam core with epoxy coating.

More soon.
