About Scott:

Hello, My name is Scott Crump surfer/shaper/designer for 30 plus years! I am a former pro surfer, surf coach and judge. I have been shaping surfboards around the world for surfers at all levels - from top pros to young surfers with dreams and all between. My specialty is developing surfers’ equipment (all types) to enhance progression and enjoyment of the surfer and matching their equipment to the waves and locations they ride. Come shape with me and you’ll walk away with board knowledge to help the rest of your surfing life!

About the experience:

Upon booking, I will contact you to discuss your requirements for shaping your dream board. We will talk about skill levels, waves you ride, volume requirements, and design preferences. I will then create a rough cut pre-shape and have it ready for you at our shaping studio. We will also design a custom logo for your board, making it truly unique!

The Day of the Experience:
Meet and Greet: We will meet at The Adventure Garage in Ballina, where we'll enjoy healthy snacks and beverages while discussing shaping, CAD design, boards, and surf.

Studio Session: At The Adventure Garage shaping studio next to the Ballina/Byron Bay airport. We will go over all the tools and techniques needed to shape the board.  You will get your hands dirty shaping your own board under the expert guidance of Scott from start to finish, ensuring a beautiful, functional surfboard shaped by you.

Completion and Delivery: Once the board is shaped we send it off for glassing, and once complete, it is available for collection from The Adventure Garage or we can ship your custom board to you (additional expense for shipping). It generally takes 2-3 weeks after shaping for your board to be glassed and ready to surf.  following fibreglassing, providing you with a ready-to-ride, personally shaped surf craft of your dreams!
