I really enjoy shaping boards for my friends, it let's me express my gratitude for the friendship without having to say much, nothing like handing a friend some new foam and watching them paddle it out for the first time.

Once you design your Mini Simmons template you need to grab a Mini Simmons surfboard blank, check our blank recommendation list. Another option is to send you design file to an AKU machine shop (find a AKU shaping shop near you). This is a good way to do your first Mini Simmons if you have never shaped before. Basically you'll just have to finish the rails and do some light sanding.
