First step, take this abortion of a pad off. Guessing the original owner got rid of it because it didn't turn well.
I have, was a 5'8" fish (twin), with glass on fins and purple dye, glassed it, too. Fcuk, that thing was ugly and rode like sh!t. Good experience though! There's probably a pic on here somewhere, this was back when SurflineBB was still around. I met a bunch of those guys for a campout in Big Sur (Sand Dollar) and surfed it there. Fun times. It's now resides in the Buena Vista Landfill in Watsonville, unless someone took it home...That kid is a good surfer. His self shaped board is a little funky but he surfs it well.
I wanna shape a board.
I wonder how many people on here have shaped their own board??
Those A & H do look pretty good. I like look of the Ordainer. Could be a quiver killer, for me, in the right size.

Thanks for clarifying. I totally thought it was some kind of sexual torture device. Man, was I way off base.
I was told that when Dane first started shaping and didn't know sh!t about sh!t. He was working at XTR and was taught a bunch of techniques on glassing and polishing and once he learned everything just split and left XTR holding that bag after they took all that time to teach him. I also heard that when he was scanning files for an up and coming shaper he secretly kept some of the scans and starting making boards for people using that shapers files. The dude sounds unethical and I would never take any type of class from him. I think he also patented the "corrugated" rail when all it is a concave on the rail which Cole Simler has been doing forever - Stretch too.
Do you mean step deck or what stretch calls sk8 deck @ReForest
I once had a old yater pre sb revolution most likely mid 60's with step deck spoon nose pintail 9'6" best nose rider ever rode her to death complete delam need to get another one
The rails have a concave. I dont know what Cole calls it, but he's been doing this long before Dane ever did.
I believe there is a photo of Slater walking on a beach with Pam Anderson holding a FireFly model from Cole with those concaves on the deck around 1998 - 2000.
Oh the deck channels you mean I should've known from Cole reference where I saw them first. Really like them and just like sk8 or step deck feels good grabbing rail for duck dive or pig dog but also think they help with flex control and stretch really works it with his glass schedules like legacy, cft, and dft. I really noticed difference on my first non stringer board 5150 dft and how it felt compared to same glassing in cft medium
I've never had one of Cole's or Stretch, but both shapers make super cool boards.
Dane's channel is quite a bit different
Seem to remember some chit chat about some issues going on there (Vulcan)

Those channels are an East Coast thing.
Mike Daniels and Greg Loehr did a ton of them way back at least into the early 80s, before any of the above knew how to properly run a planer.
Regardless, for Dane to patent it decades later is... well.... LAME!
