First the shaper cuts the foam down to the size he wants it. Then he makes the finboxes and leash cup. Then he puts the resin on and glasses it.
I have one and am fixing it up right now. No you cant have it! I broke the fin off at the base getting the fin out-this is an 81 Gable Surfboard out of huntington beach-know anything about this shaper?
In 1958, a shaper named Hobie Alter and a glasser named Grubby Clark perfected the polyurethane foam blank. In 1961 the two created a second company, Clark Foam, to make surfboard blanks. Soon thereafter, the surfboard was made from fiberglass, polyester resin and polyurethane foam.
The cost of a Fudge Hair Shaper depends on the model you buy. The Shaper Lite costs $14.99, the Shaper Mint costs $16.99 and the Shaper Hair Putty costs $29.99.

Illusion Surfboards are made by Richard Heard in New Zealand. He is a great shaper and can do custom surfboards. I don't have his phone info, but you can try to reach him in pukekohe, nz when you are out there.. Just ask around, it's a small town.
To make the board waterproof and to provide strength to the PU foam, four or six ounce fibreglass composites are laid on the blank which are then set in polyester resin. Before laying the fibreglass, decals(surfboard shaper logos) can be placed on the board. Usually the bottom of the surfboard is covered with one layer of fibreglass and then covered with resin first, and when dry the same procedure can be done to the deck of the surfboard. Two layers of fibreglass can be placed put on the deck for a stronger surfboard. If you want to cut down on weight, instead of placing two layers you can also just place an extra layer on the tail, nose and rails as these should have in little more protection.
there's not a gold surfboard but there is a silver surfboard which is in the sports catalog
