    Blanks surfboards from Spain, are they any good?
    They're said to be made in the Basque region alongside other brands..

    You living in Ireland? Plenty of local shapers on the west...I'm all for supporting your local shaper. They'll also put you top of the list when dings need fixing. Nothing better than surfing your local break with your shaper in the water too...more often than not if they have another board you'd like to try, they'll give you a session on one no problem.

    Cool...if you need a step up board a local shaper can chat about what you need. Then as you progress, they can advise on whats next! One board is never enough!! I remember the first time I was about to get a 6'4 shaped, and my shaper was a little iffy thinking it was a bit short for me. But then we had a surf on a reef & he seen me surf & read what the wave was doing so he was like 6'4 will be perfect! Little things like that! I now have 2 of his boards, and he repairs them when needed in a few days!
