Bill started shaping in Puerto Rico in 1971.<\/FONT><\/SMALL><\/P>\n

That year upon moving to Sunset Beach, Hawaii, he put a hold on shaping and concentrated on riding boards, and learning from the best shapers in the world; Dick Brewer, Tom Parrish, Reno Abilera.<\/FONT><\/SMALL><\/P>\n

He began to take up shaping again in 1976.<\/FONT><\/SMALL><\/P>\n
