In-depth Design for Bourton Shapes
SHAPER FOR BOURTON SHAPES, MURRAY BOURTON aka MUZZ, GIVES YOU THE LOW DOWN ON BOURTON SURFBOARD DESIGN
The
use of modern design software programs has,
like nothing else, opened up
the diversity of surfboard design. I think this fact alone has silenced
much of the early dissent on the use of shaping machines.
The reality is when a customer comes in to order something
left of centre, the shaper need not run a mile, and believe
me there are shit loads of these guys coming out of the closet
these days! The software program is not limited to left of
center surfboard designs however, it is also an important
tool that perfects high performance short board designs.
Before the introduction of the surfboard software programs,
keeping a smile on my team riders faces was no easy task;
but now I continually score above 85% in producing the right
boards, and that magic board seems to appear more
often than not. After mastering the surfboard program
with my team riders, I can now implement this service into my custom orders, which is the heart of my business.
Now a customer can work directly with me in the development
of his or her new surfboard design. It is possible for the
new surfboard to be seen visually on the computer screen before
the manufacturing begins. This gives the customer total
confidence in the shaper and in the final product.
