The surfboard industry has made a living on providing surfers with new, exciting, and yet unseen boards that perform differently.
In some cases, board shapers are able to follow the template through and make a classic board design, or they can deviate from it at any point and arrive at a completely unique design that is based on a classic design. The trade requires an understanding of how different shapes and weights will perform even before the pen meets the paper. Surfboard templates are the bread and butter of every board shaper out there.
