      Hey Guys,
 
It’s been a long time since I posted but I was hoping to get some opinions on a new board.
 
I have been surfing a fish for a while now but thinks it’s nearing the end of its life span. I don’t surf as often as I like, probably a handful of times a month, I know it sucks but it’s my reality. I was curious on local shapers and who you guys recommend. I surf Rockaway and was looking at JW Falcone, Paul Surf and Bunger. My main question is do you think a custom board would be a good investment if I’m not surfing that often? 
 
Thanks

Let me say it this way, if you are not surfing as often as you lime then you want to make sure you get the most of every session. Being on the right board will help in that regard and if you can spend the time and money with a shaper to get the perfect board for you then go for it.

FWIW - I've been getting boards from Nature Shapes in Sayville for the last 5 years.
Mike Becker does high quality work and he surfs local - so he's got a good idea about what works for our waves.
Every so often he runs a $50 off custom board special so look into that too.

I believe he's having a sale soon.

all those you mentioned are good,  also faktion longboards look sick these days since HAWK is shaping for him.
