Recently there have been many beautiful boards floating around on Instagram/Pinterest/Sways/etc. by shapers all over the world. The craftmanship on some of these boards is beyond amazing but that all goes out the window once it hits water. I'm sure I can gather what some of the opinions on here will be like, and I encourage everybody's input. However, I'm more interested in how important it is for shapers to know how to surf. Also, were/are there any legendary shapers past and present that aren't skilled in the water? Did that effect their shapes?
