An oddity of the market that surprised me when I got into it is the relatively low price of a hand shaped board. They’re described in the article as high end, and they can be, but odds are a local shaper can make you something custom for around the same price or less than mass manufactured boards like FireWire, Lost etc. Only issue is you’ll have to wait for it to be made.
