@@passartko thank you 🙏🏽

@@francomunoz229 thank you 🙏🏽

Funny you should say that! I originally planned on doing a quad and the pencil markings are still there (and can be seen under the glassing 😅). Maybe on the next one!

Haha yeah still learning and still enjoying the process! Making your own surfboard is no joke! The amount of hours and material!

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you coach nate 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you 🙏🏽

Haha thank you sir 🙏🏽 That’s crazy you were able to mail order a surfboard kit back in the day! That’s also a very cool life story. Have you been building since? Yeah tooling a surfboard IS tough work!

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you 🙏🏽 I appreciate it 🍻

It’s up for sale if you’re in the PDX area 😬🍻

@@paulzeye_surfboards I wish, I’m in Scotland !

Whoaaa how’s the surf in Scotland???

@@paulzeye_surfboards right now it’s terrible! 😂 gets better in September.

@DGT73 sounds similar to here 😆 We get random good days here and there though

Thanks Victor 🙏🏽 I added it after the lam because I added a tint to my resin and I wanted the Finbox to show. This is a lighter tint so I could’ve added them before the lam. It’s an aesthetic choice 🎨

You can install them before or after the lam. Usually before if you’re not adding any color to the resin (especially darker colors). I think it’s more of a preference thing aesthetically. Functionally i don’t think it matters.

That’s actually not a bad idea! Or even use sawdust with wood glue! Thanks 🙏🏽 🍻

Thank you! I use a hole saw but have been thinking about moving over to a forstner bit at some point. Forstner bit turn out pretty clean and even?

@@paulzeye_surfboards yes and you don’t have to pry it out and risk damage.

@@allsurf awesome! Thanks for sharing that! I know that’s what kazuma uses too. Will have to make the switch at some point.

@@paulzeye_surfboards Welcome. I didn’t know he uses that. Thought I was alone. 😂

@allsurf he uses a lot of different tools but I have seen him use a forstner bit on a plunge router!

Thank you very much 🙏🏽 One man team over here in front and behind the camera 🎥😬 I really appreciate the kind words! Very encouraging for sure - cheers! 🍻

I believe it was a 6’2 blank and I added a bit more rocker to it on the tail and nose. Not by much. I can’t remember the amount off the top of my head!

👋🏽 Hey Grant! Thanks! It was super fun out there at agate! It was also a blast to see you catch all those outside sets in that cool mini “gun” you shaped. Hope to see you out there too! 🍻

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you Rodger! I really appreciate it and thank you for your support 🎉 🙏🏽

That was a board I made from foam that I casted in a surfboard blank mold I made (it’s in another video). Added a cedar stringer and cedar glassed in fins! Haven’t taken it out yet, but thinking about it this weekend!

Oh yeah! 🍻

I think I paid $150 for this and a starter kit of other shaping supplies. Probably worth $20 in 2x4s, $20 for the bucket/concrete, and $10 worth of wood screws? The foam is probably another $5-10?

CHYEWWW! You're welcome! It's been perfect for my setup thus far. Hopefully, it works well for you too! Cheers! 🍻

Thanks Dave!

Hey! Yeah I can do a quick video on it! I know you inquired about it previously (?). I currently have been trying to modify it so it’s a little different than before. I have some complaints about it too, which I will put in the video too!

@@paulzeye_surfboards yeah I probably did comment before too ! It looks rad haha a quick vid would be epic , will keep my eye out ! 😁

Thank you 🙏🏽 Glassing is definitely a whole other beast! So many steps involved (just like shaping) and so easy to screw up. Still learning to perfect the process (if that’s even possible 🤷🏻‍♂️)!

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you! Will do! I really it 🙏🏽🙏🏽

That’s so cool! I feel like I’ve seen those on some RUclips videos and just figure that’s from 40 years of shaping. I’m assuming that’s more for contour shaping? Unless you can add a flat surround it using a planer or jointer? Either way - super cool information 😎

@@paulzeye_surfboards I had an old shaper years ago swing by my work and sell me some planers and what not. All of his blocks were drift wood. He'd run them through a thicknesser to get one side nice and flat for sanding and then just left the natural sides natural. His hand prints were so deeply embedded into them, they fit him like a glove! Granted, he's probably shaped thousands of board in his life so I imagine it took quite a while!

@@smallkinedings there’s plenty of that around the beaches I surf at! I’m going to pick some up the next time and have a go with it. Thanks for the cool tip 🍻

Wow I had no idea that was a thing! Thanks for sharing that. Will have to give that a go at some point. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

@@paulzeye_surfboards Yep. It is sandpaper that is made to be used with hardwood floor sanders. It's pretty cheap, too. They have big sheets of the sanding screens, too.

@@garyh4458 this is amazing intel

You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear it was helpful 🤙🏽

Thank you 🙏🏽 I believe it was the egg B but I pulled in the tail a bit and maybe even the nose? I’ll have to watch back to remember. My memory is not very good 😅

Have you had a crack at it already? If so, def don’t judge your skill after one go - especially if you’re learning by yourself! Though I do get that it’s pretty pricey to make mistakes.

At 72 and living in the armpit of America (Memphis), my surfing and board making prospects look dim. But I love the work you do, and I watch 15' barge wakes on the Mississippi River, measured them with my boat. Granite barges.

@@aliaskong1723 Memphis is a bit of a ways from any good surf indeed. Would be cool to see someone surfing a wake wave made by a barge on the Mississippi! Thanks again for watching Alias!

Awesome! I’m glad I can help! I’m hoping to start a series of shaping and glassing hoping to help people get started!

Haha yeah. Somehow slippery and really sticky at the same time. Best of both worlds 😆

Thank you sir 🙏🏽

Hahaha you damn right
