IMPORTANT INFORMATION



Bay Hire is best suited to shapers at intermediate, advanced or expert levels of shaping experience and is not suited to novice shapers. If you are at a novice level it is recommended that you up-skill via The Surfboard Studios shaping course or the Make Your Own Board course before attempting to shape your own blank. Our areas are fully supervised, however tuition is not included within the bay hire fee structure. We are not liable for novice shaping errors, which are common in the early stages of surfboard shaping. Our patient staff will however offer additional advise, tuition or a refresh of content for previous students of our course modules.



SHAPING ONLY

Bay hire is primarily for shaping only. Glassing bays can be arranged. Previous experience with glassing must be proved.
