Bio:
John Moore has surfing since '83, shaping since '91. He is the owner of Mystic surfboards. He has lived in Providence, Cape Cod, Marin, Santa Cruz, Puerto Rico, Montara and has owned surf shop's including Pump House surf shop in Cape Cod, MA and 2 Mile surf shop in Bolinas, CA.

SHAPING- 'Shaping allows me to create a custom, unique design with a customer which connects them to the waves they are surfing and improve their surfing experience. A well planned design will give the surfer room to grow and improve their surfing and confidence. WAY better than "off the rack".'

REPAIRS- 'I've built and fixed surfboards for over 30 years and have seen many different construction methods. It's pretty easy to diagnose, "rebuild" and seal up your own board. Let me show you how in a few simple steps. I can diagnose and fix most any issue.'

- John Moore (Mystic Surfboards)
