there is no other place in the world you will find so many demo boards. all brand new shaped and glassed in the finest quality. i look forward to coming to shikoku this time of year because i can check things out and see the new designs for the upcoming year. super cool set of boards produced by TSSC.

back to surfboards. if you want a magic board, you have to work for it. work meaning surfer/shaper relationship. i think this separates the elite shapers from the good shapers. if you know exactly how your rider surfs, it’s that much easier to make a magic board.

here is Matchi explaining the concept behind Shun Murakami’s magic board. once again, this is the key to getting yourself a magic board. if you have questions, your shaper would love to answer them.
