Ever dreamed of designing your own surfboard? A new three-part live online course offers the chance to learn the essentials of Shape3D, the industry-standard software for surfboard design.

Led by Pol Riera of Spina Surfboards, known for blending traditional knowledge with modern tools, this course is perfect for aspiring shapers and surf enthusiasts alike. No prior Shape3D experience is required.

The interactive online sessions will cover:

• Class 1: Design Basics – Curves & Views (August 4th): Learn to define your board’s outline, rocker, and foil using control points and different views.

• Class 2: Resizing & Modifying Boards (August 6th): Refine your design by adjusting size, proportions, and foil with precision.

• Class 3: Avoiding Mistakes & Preparing for Print (August 8th): Learn to identify and fix common errors, clean up your design, and prepare it for 3D printing.

Each session is approximately 60 minutes, including a live Q&A, and optional design homework will be provided between classes.

The course costs $80 for all three sessions and includes a special bonus: a mini 3D-printed replica of your final surfboard design and an exclusive discount code for Shape3D’s Design or Design Pro plan.
