In the first part of this work we explore the geometry of infinite type surfaces and the relationship between its convex core and space of ends. In particular, we give a geometric proof of a Theorem due to Alvarez and Rodriguez that a geodesically complete hyperbolic surface is made up of its convex core with funnels attached along the simple closed geodesic components and half-planes attached along simple open geodesic components. We next consider gluing infinitely many pairs of pants along their cuffs to obtain an infinite hyperbolic surface. We prove that there always exists a choice of twists in the gluings such that the surface is complete regardless of the size of the cuffs. This generalises the examples of Matsuzaki. In the second part we consider complete hyperbolic flute surfaces with rapidly increasing cuff lengths and prove that the corresponding quasiconformal Teichmuller space is incomplete in the length spectrum metric. Moreover, we describe the twist coordinates and convergence in terms of the twist coordinates on the closure of the quasiconformal Teichmuller space.
