    • @ottersurfboards
      @ottersurfboards 16 дней назад

      All of our surfboards are hollow and built around an internal frame, the frames are laser cut specifically to each shape and include features such as concave, which means the concave exists prior to shaping. I hope that answers your question!

    @greatbriton8425 4 месяца назад

    I THINK you misjudged the wave's breaking point because of the wind pushing the top over, so you were 20-50 feet too far out? Or, the swell was variable and the big waves came and went while you were paddling for the small ones. I grew up in waves like this and you can definitely get some poor rides out of them with the occasional bit of fun. Do you also know about paddling for a wave so far forward on your board that you have to keep your back arched to keep the tip above the water?

    Hi! I've notriced you didn't clean the charring on the edges. Have you tested the strenght of the joints? If charred layer it's not too thick and the glue has low enough viscosity to penetrate through to wood itself, it shouldn't be a problem. I'd just like to hear about your experience on the matter. I love everything about wood. I'm an amateur woodworker and also my favourite aeroplane is made of wood, using quite similar methods.

    • @ottersurfboards
      @ottersurfboards 5 месяцев назад

      Hey :) we've tested both. I used to always sand them because I was convinced that the charring would cause issues for the glue absorption, but for the most of the glue lines we're using an epoxy glue that has such high mechanical hold strength that it bonds really securely to the lasered edges, so we haven't noticed any difference. Stoked! Which aeroplane do you love?

    • @fifi23o5
      @fifi23o5 5 месяцев назад

      @@ottersurfboards Thanks! Great peace of information! And it makes perfect sense. It could only be problem if epoxy was too thick not to penetrate the charred layer. The plane in question is Aviamilano (or Sequoia) F.8L Falco. Completely made of spruce timber and birch plywood. Flown first in 1955(!) and still looking amazing. And it also performs exactly the way it looks. I know a guy that is building it and I go and help him from time to time, but, hopefully, one day I will start to build my own. May the force of wood be with you!

    • @ottersurfboards
      @ottersurfboards 5 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the kind words! Mark does not have access to this account, but we surf with him all the time, you can check out the video of his first surf on our channel. As far as repairs go, we have had a few over the years which haven't been serious unless the wood itself is damaged. This then involves routing out and replacing a section of the wood and re glassing, luckily this has only happened once or twice as the boards are strong and made to last. I hope that helps!
