Machine cutters in Florida

[griffinsurfboard]

Shane at 2SI is one of the main cutters here

Its standard that Block EPS is used creating blanks here
This foam is very good





Shane made his own Hot Wire cutter controlled with Shape 3D




He uses several composite stringer materials





His custom built machine









27 Von Sol cuts ready for delivery to Mike Whisnant for finishing and glassing





Shane works 7 days a week

John Parton is another cutter

Clay a main cutter is retiring and selling his KKL

Larry ex owner of Monstah glass is getting his new machine in 1 1/2 months

Florida needs another badly

That looks like a very very nice operation.

That looks like a very very nice operation.

Parton's shop is maybe bigger and super clean
Very busy , and hard to deal with

Wheres your Arakawa Twin Review ?

Forthcoming.

I’ve only really gotten to ride it once, so no review.

The first time was a at a highly competitive wave ~ rode two sh!t waves.No insight.

Got to ride it the first time the other day in semi decent waves.No way I’m gonna opine about what a board is like after one session considering I hadn’t ridden a twin in 22 years.

now

What’s up with Parton?

[casa_mugrienta]

just mimicking mocking my troll previous to your question
I was with Ken White a shape off winner - great hand shaper and the C.I licensee this day getting blanks and boxes visiting glass shops and cutters .
I will post some Twin Pin C.I ’s he has in glassing

 

[griffinsurfboard]

Parton has done really well for himself and seems to be lowering his work load .
