I live in Surfers and looking for shaping training or program to make my board myself. I do not have any experience. It's not for certification. Just want to have a board I also participated.
I already found 1 place, Harvey surf , has a shaping course.
please recommend me any place you know or tell me about the course from Harvey surf if you know

I dont know about Harvey surf but swaylocks is full of good shapers and info. Its a main shaping website i know about, hundreds of account users and lots of board porn. All sorts of shapes too.
That would be a good place to start if you havent already.

Ive done the shaping course with richard harvey well worth it. The guy has a wealth of knowledge (40 + years) and is an australian champion beating mp in solid margs. Some of his boards are works of art and he's one of the last true shapers out there you can't go wrong i still get customs from him to this day.
