Would love to shape my own boards, and I'm interested to start but have zero knowledge and skill in this area apart from a few articles i have read and youtube videos i have watched. Now unfortunately I think it looks a hell of a lot easier than it actually is, especially starting.

Has anyone ever done one of the classes at the surfboard studio or done a similar course?
Its about 1k so a bit of $$$ but you come out with a board and potentially the skill set and limited knowledge to then start shaping yourself.
Now obviously your not going to be Al Merrick after one class, but would this give you enough of a foundation to then go shape yourself and produce a semi decent board obviously with the right tools?


Also this is the only class i could find in the Melbourne area via google search, is there any other classes people know about in or around Melbourne that they may recommend?
