Anyone had any success using surfboard shapers for custom kitesurf specific boards?

Surely there are some local shapers that provide cost effective solutions compared to the production boards available today.

Interested to know any details possible. Cheers.

Hello there,
I think that any shaper could make a kite board.
Due to problem with availability and custom import duty we decide also to go local for wave boards...
They just need to make them strong enough for kite surfing!
This is my new board just finish last week..
PU core
polyester resin
fiber glass bidirectional 2 x 135 grams for the bottom
fiber glass bidirectional 2 x 135 grams for the top
fiber glass bidirectional 1 x 175 grams for half top
carbon reinforcement under foot straps
carbon reinforcement on rails
pvc anti scratch film on the hull
eva padz rubber - diamond shape 12mm
future fins system

Bye Jankie
