Surfboard Tuition Classes with Legendary Shaper Leigh Steven in Torquay, VIC

A unique one-on-one shaping experience covering technical and theoretical discussion. Surf your own creation with the guidance of one of Tasmania's first surfboard shapers (+50 years experience).

Experience with power tools is essential (for safety) plus basic hand/eye co-ordination and a willingness to progress long-term as a shaper privately or commercially.

"My shaping background of over 60 years custom shaping both internationally and locally helps when it comes to forming a deep understanding of what you ride and how you wish to develop your shaping knowledge and skills."
