i think you will find it hard to get someone to teach you!
you might get a walk around the factory, but that will be about it.
most shapers are very closed doors!!

Shame sad.gif tuat it would be something smaller shapers would do for extra cash. Would be great fun to learn how to shape and glass surfboards and put them together and everything.

Mmmm an eireball, thats an interesting one, eh? hahaha
