What's covered

Six modules. No filler.

01

Advanced Foil Shaping Techniques

Inside foil, outside foil, flat foil. How foil profile affects lift, drag, and drive. Shaping for precision — the numbers, the tools, and the checks that pros use.

02

Designing Custom Templates from Scratch

Design templates for your specific board, wave, and style — not someone else's. Rake, depth, base, sweep, aspect ratio. The methodology to go from concept to finished template.

03

Working with Different Materials

Fiberglass, carbon fiber, paulownia, balsa, foam cores. Epoxy vs. polyester. Costs, difficulty, performance tradeoffs — what to use when and why.

04

Fin Tuning & Performance Testing

How to test fins in the water, what to feel for, and how to act on it. Adjusting flex, cant, toe. An iterative design process that gives you real data.

05

Setting Up Your Home Shaping Station

Build a capable workspace without the commercial shop overhead. Tools that actually matter, ventilation that's actually safe, and what to buy first vs. what can wait.

06

Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting

Delamination, asymmetric foil, flex problems, finishing failures — what causes them and exactly how to fix them. The stuff you learn the hard way, taught directly.

Who it's for

Built for surfers who've shaped before and want to go further.

Good fit

You've built a fin or two — maybe from the free guides — and want to understand the deeper theory. You want to design from scratch, not just copy templates.

Also good

You surf seriously and want to understand your equipment. Not just swapping fins randomly — actually knowing what you're changing and why it matters.

Start here first

Completely new to fin shaping? Start with the free guides. Build your first fin. Then come back for the course.

No shop needed

A garage, basic tools, and a couple weekends is enough. Module 5 covers exactly how to set up a capable small-batch production setup.
