The shaping machine is a tool that was developed to fill a void in surfboard manufacturing. With the ability to reproduce key board designs ten times faster than the average shaper, the machine can no longer be ignored in the surfboard industry. It is able to successfully capture the integrity of any proven board up to ten feet long, which can then be manipulated by computer to any specified dimension. The computer controlled surfboard machine allows Borst designed surfboards to reach levels of production and consistency never attained in the surfboard manufacturing industry.
