Easy to create and modify board outlines! Free to use but donations are accepted for the development team.

Only prints one page out of 10pages ### 3/5 — I can’t export my templates *2022-11-14, version 0.9.11* I can’t export my templates From iPhone10!!! Please fix this… ### 3/5 — Such a perfect app but wish you could do asymmetrical Surfboards *2022-07-23, version 0.9.11* perfect app but wish you could do asymmetrical Surfboards ### 3/5 — Rad resource *2022-05-26* I would give this app 5 stars because it’s a dream to use and I really appreciate this as a resource. Here’s the “but”. Even though I’ve scaled it correctly for printing, I’m still getting unsatisfactory results. 3” gone from length and 1” from width when I print my templates. I even went to the big printing store and spent the 5 bucks to have them do it for me.. same thing. Scaled at 100%.. I still bought my boy a cup of coffee for the excellent app and for the simple fact the you can use your own template curves with the measurements provided on the app of your design. So, as an advanced shaper, I can use the metric measurements make my dots and connect it to blend it to my desired shape… but yeah, scaling is the issue here. I will edit and correct this review if for some reason this was my error. Until then, I will continue to use and support this app. Cheers ### 3/5 — Différence entre la côte logiciel et la côte papier *2020-10-23, version 0.9.11* Super app dans l’ensemble mais attention il y a une différence entre la planche que vous dessinez et celle que vous imprimez. J’ai dessiné une 8’0 sur l’application. J’ai bien imprimé et collé bout à bout les feuilles. Il y avait 7 cm de différence entre ce que je voulais et le rendu. Ce qui est quand même assez embêtant. C’est presque 1 cm par feuille... J’ai envoyé un mail pour le signaler mais pas de réponse pour l’instant. Par contre le concept est génial. ### 3/5 — Needs some more settings *2019-01-29, version 0.9.8* Good basic app but needs more settings like thickness, auto calc for volume, rocker etc ### 4/5 — Solid app *2026-05-07, version 0.9.11* It’d be nice to have more input options and pre-made board templates ### 4/5 — IShaper *2025-11-08, version 0.9.11* I’ve made some fun mini-log templates on this app. Makes it easy to bled curves from tail to hips to curvy or straight outline to nose without any wierd bulges or angles popping up ### 4/5 — Great *2024-11-08, version 0.9.11* Gran app!
