How is this different to ordering a custom board?
1. When you order a custom board, our shaper will interpret what you have told us you want, taking in to account all you have told us, to build a board that he thinks will be what you need. Most times this works extremely well!
2. If you design your own board, it will be EXACTLY what you want. No interpretation, just send us your AKU shaper file and that what we will build.
3. Cost will be the same if we build it here for you, but if we make it overseas it will be about $100.00 less.
AKU Shaper is a very easy program to learn, but I must say it has about the worst help files I have ever seen! But, one very handy resource is here at Turtles Big Secret. You can buy one of their files and then edit it to your liking, or you can use the PDF version as a guide to then re-create what you want. One tricky bit is fin placement, but we will fix that up for you if you can't figure it out. Two things the program cannot do is swallow tails and quad fins. But you can just do a square tail and we will hand cut the swallow tail, and tell us you want quad fins and we will place those for you too.
Here is a list of some of our designs. We are about to order most of these from our SE Asian factory. If you want to order one prior
to delivery contact me and we will add to our order. You can, of course, customize any of these designs using AKU Shaper, or just tell us what changes you want to which model.
