Join our digital shaping classes and turn your design into a 3D-printed board.
Three live online courses taught by shaper Pol Riera. Whether you're picking up the software for the first time or ready to go deeper into the pro tools, there's a course built for where you are right now.
In 3 live online sessions you'll learn to design your board digitally using Shape3D — the software used by professional shapers worldwide.
You'll learn the history and anatomy behind surfboard shaping along with surfboard 3D-printing technology. Then you will explore how to use control points to shape your board's outline, rocker and foil. You will play with rails and bottom deck, exploring concave, bellies, v's and more to get the feel you are looking for. By the end, you'll have a finished design ready to turn into a real board.
Whether you're designing your first board or transitioning into digital shaping, this class gives you the foundation to bring your ideas to life.
Ready to take your Shape3D skills further? This class picks up where the Foundations class left off, diving into the advanced tools of the Design Pro plan — channels, swallow tails, asymmetric shapes, and more. Shapes that until now only existed in your head.
Prerequisite: Shape3D Foundations class or equivalent experience with all core Design plan tools.
Turn the board in your head into a real, printable design.
