| 223047 | 11440 | Molded, Reverse Engineered, Handshaped by One Only...WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? | 47 | Sax-son | Oct 11, 2021 | 2021-10-11T17:20:02-0400 | Bruce Fowler said: The future is already here, and it's getting less and less personal by the day. Us "living" shapers are already competing with uh, "dead shapers" as it is........ all ya need is someone to scan that Weber Performer or something Michael Peterson or Midget or John Bradbury shaped back in their hey day.... Click to expand... All of what you say is probably true. However, if I came to you and said, " I want a Weber Performer or a Yater Spoon shape and you say to me, "Yeah, I can do that for you", "What kind of a glass job do you want on it?" , I could care less how you get from point A to point B as long as the finished product comes out the way I want. CNC, hand shaped, whatever. I never cared about it before and why should I now. I would be paying for your expertise in surfboard production to deliver the goods. As long as that board rides good, that is good enough for me. I have had some beautiful hand shaped and exquisitely glassed boards that didn't ride worth a crap so if the CNC's board gets me to a good place, that's fine with me. |
