Live Surfboard Shaping

Eiji Shiomoto shapes surfboards live on-site at the Australian National Surfing Museum in Torquay. In a purpose-built shaping bay museum visitors can view Eiji shaping surfboards, with all the necessary tools and equipment on display. This is a great way for people to witness the skills involved in hand shaping a board, an experience that is being lost as boards become more mass-produced and mass-marketed. Eiji shapes a diverse range of boards, often incorporating highly technical elements and leading edge technologies.
