I'm having trouble printing the outline onto paper which I'll then tape together to end up with the final outline. I think I need to fiddle with the printer margins or something cause I'm getting only 1/4 of the board. Weird. In any case, here are some screenshots of what I have so far...
I dunno if I'll make a rocker template, but I did the profile outline just for fun. I think there's a newer version of the Aku Shaper coming out soon which will feature a 3D viewer. Also, if you have $65,000 lying around, you can buy the Aku machine and have it cut your CAD board designs for you. If not, you'll have to settle for the free software (and find someone with the machine). You can find Aku Shaper here.
Blanks are on the way...should arrive sometime next week. Yeeha!

you need to print to .pdf with a custom paper size large enough to contain your image. Then print the .pdf as tiles.
good luck.
If you want to try building this out in wood ou should check out the tree to sea forums. They also have a lot of guys using the aku shaper there.
How did you import a picture into the Aku shaper program and scale your outline and rocker from it?
That seems to be a great method to use.
Thanks for any assistance you can give, I'm just in the process of designing my first board.
Hey dude,
Just thought I would drop you a line to tell you about this program that will help you print full size templates from .pdf. Look up "lucubration" or here is the link.

Board looks good so far, I have AKU shaper too and it rocks but this baby will help you print it off your own printer, tried it and it works great!
I am currently building two 9' hollow wood boards, check them out so far at

Have you found this "lucubration" site, go to http://www.lucubration.com/open-source-projects/pdf-tile-printer.html this will take the pdf output file directly from hollow wood template maker or pdf file from aku and convert it to real size, tile it to multiple sheets 8.5 x 11 etc and place allignment marks. With this you can do it all at home.
Check it out...are you still shaping, thus not blogging,lol good on ya if you are. I am brokassqcislander on youtube, check me out you and I are on the same path.

G'day Guys,
Just wanted to let you know of an exciting new website/store that i have launched.
www.onlineshaper.com
We are using your software to create customer direct surfboards. All designs are designed and tested by myself and there is even an option for the customer to design their own board.... we shape glass and decal and ship directly to the client via air.
Have a look around the site and let me know what you think.
Would love it if you could feature it somewhere on your site.
Have a great day and hollow waves..
