LOCAL SURFBOARD SHAPES: EPS/EPOXY "MONCHITO SHAPES"



To show the superb surfboard product that Puerto Rico produce, will start to show local shapes. To begin our journey, "Monchito Shapes" send us some awesome photos of the las two months of hand shape. Today will show a clasic 6' 3" thruster round pin tail. Monchito is now experimenting with EPS/EPOXY construction. Strong, durable and light for the summer that shows. Monchito as previously posted is the best shaper in surf town of Puerto Rico, Rincon.
