Look how sloppy the cut lap was. Compare that to my other boards where the laps are extremely clean and don’t have threads hanging.I would be calling both of them especially if shaper sent you to the glasser.

I dont know anyone in Hawaii who charges these amounts - 750 for a shaped blank ? 800.00 for a glass job ?Well that adds a significant problem.
I got this board shaped specifically for a 6 month trip up to the mainland.
The Glasser is back in Hawaii.
On top of that- the Glasser charged me 800 bucks for this glass job. That’s just for the glass job.
Paid the shaper 750 and then shaper told me take to Glasser separately and the Glasser charged 800.00
Total for this board was 1550.00
I really liked the board and was Okay with spending that because it was a heavy glass job and I was planning on keeping the board forever.
Now I got a sweating paper weight.
Honestly it was fine paying the shaper that. It’s an EPS blank and thick redwood stringer so the blank was more then 65.00 bucks.I dont know anyone in Hawaii who charges these amounts - 750 for a shaped blank ? 800.00 for a glass job ?
Blank 65.00 - shaping 685.00 ?
800.00 for fine sand ?
Joe Demarco has gotten very good and can do the whole thing for half that , for you next board "Adventure" in Hawaii

The Shaper or Glasser or some combination need to make this right. Part of paying a premium is knowing the craftsmen stand behind their work. Proximity should be irrelevant at that price.
A few years back, I had a Florida shaper (legit craftsman) who had taken a shaped blank to a very reputable factory for glassing. Board came back with flaws (not shaper's fault). Shaper made it right. I've ordered at least four boards from the guy since. That's how it's supposed to work.
Spoke to him briefly about it couple weeks ago. Spoke to Glasser too. Glasser said was heat damage. But doesn’t look or feel like it.Have you tried talking to the shaper about it and his recommendation to go to this glasser?
I would.Spoke to him briefly about it couple weeks ago. Spoke to Glasser too. Glasser said was heat damage. But doesn’t look or feel like it.
I’ll reach out again to the shaper. He was a cool guy.
Color is a Foam Stain - which are very niceThat's not a cut lap. It's a free lap, which is why there are the strands showing.
Ok. Guess I was wrong.That's not a cut lap. It's a free lap, which is why there are the strands showing.
