Class 1
Learn the origins and history of surfboard shaping, along with the story and technique behind 3D-printed surfboards. Then dive into the basics of surfboard anatomy before to get your hands on Shape3D's interface and learn about views, tangents and control points.
Class 2
Learn about fin setups (Thruster, Quad, Twin, Single) and how to adjust your board’s size, proportions, and foil by working with control points, slices, and curve handles. Create a single-to-double concave and learn about fin placement.
Class 3
In this final session,we will spot and fix common beginner mistakes, clean up your design, and prepare your board for 3D printing. We'll cover checking foil consistency, simplifying structure, and exporting for a scaled prototype.
Anyone welcome
for whom?
• Surfers who want to design their own board
• Shapers transitioning to digital shaping
• Anyone curious about surfboard design
Mike Wallace is the shaper of Iconoclast Custom Surfboards. He's spent 20+ years building boards, from big wave guns for Grant "Twiggy" Baker to first boards for beginners, always running trials with new materials and glassing layups — including Swellcycle's 3D-printing tech — chasing better performance in the most eco-friendly way possible. Not only is Mike a legend, but he's also humble, patient, and a clear communicator — the kind of guy who'll guide you exactly the right direction to turn your ideas into something real.
