Glassed & Sealed: First Board Shaped on The Shapers Rack

Scrawl Surfboards: What Is It and Why Did It Happen?

The first Scrawl Surfboard is officially glassed — and it came together in the most roundabout but fitting way possible.
It all started with The Shapers Rack — a product I designed to help shape, store, and work on boards more easily. Somewhere along the way, while field testing the rack and experimenting with board outlines, I decided to shape a board myself. That turned into the first prototype for what is now the Flux model.
Around that same time, I had reached out to a local surf brand. I sent an email, hoping to connect, but never heard back due to a glitch with my ShapersRack.com Google Workspace email.
About a month later, while cleaning out my inbox, I came across the missed message and finally reconnected with the company — specifically, the glasser. He glassed the Flux using epoxy resin — clean rails, a solid hot coat, and a polished finish.
The result? A board I’m stoked on.

The Shapers Rack: What It Is (and What It Isn’t)

While The Shapers Rack isn’t pictured here, it played a crucial role in shaping the Flux. It supported the board through every stage of the process — from foam stripping and rail cleanup to sanding and fine-tuning. The rack served as a stable shaping and repair stand for the entire project.
That said, The Shapers Rack is not a commercial shaping stand. It wasn’t used during the glassing process — The glasser completed that separately at his space. Instead, The Shapers Rack was built to be a multi-purpose surfboard stand that also functions as a board storage system — ideal for home shaping setups, ding repair stations, or just keeping your gear clean and off the floor.
It breaks down easily for transport, stores compactly, and holds up under real use in a garage, workshop, or shaping area.

This board is for sale. If you're looking for a small-wave board with a clean aesthetic, hand-shaped foam, and a light but strong epoxy glass job, this might be it.

A Word on the Patent

I’ve filed a non-provisional patent for The Shapers Rack. Fingers crossed the process goes smoothly — it’s a long road, but it’s worth protecting. The rack has proven itself as a useful tool, and neither the Scrawl Surfboards project nor the Flux model would’ve happened without it.
I’m also working on a redesigned version made from materials better suited for shipping. A flat-pack version is likely next, which should make it easier to get The Shapers Rack into more hands without the oversized freight hassle.
(Photos of the redesign will be posted eventually.)
