I shaped my first longboard two years ago and used your videos as an excellent guidance, now I am back and working on my second board and once again, I am returning to your vids. You rock man and yes, as many have mentioned, you don't nearly enough recognition for these vids. Thanks again!
I have been watching your videos and have started my own longboard because of them thank you for your knowledge and your time in producing quality content
love these vids..i have surfed for almost 50 years and realised I don't know anything about boards..i know what I like and don't like, only by riding a board, but not specifically why I like the feel of one board and not another. I'm pretty thick, but I'm learning :). definitely going to have a crack at this. excellent work Andrew...chheers from Australia
I'd recommend not having it so bright from above but rather have a number of low light sources coming in from the sides. Definitely helps to see the curvature of things and helps highlight any areas that are a bit off.
Hey , thanks for explication, I have a question about a stringer , i just shape my longboard but I'm chaos about stringer, my question if this stringer is necessary or there is another way to make longboard more strong??
These videos are awesome! Thanks! I am gathering everything I need to make my 1st performance long board just like this one! I was wondering, would it be a bad idea to strip the foam from a beat-up 10 foot softop foamie & build my board with that? Surf schools give them away sometimes... & the blank is a large portion fo the cost!
Hi Andrew, about to shape my first board and have a question after watching your video. if you marked the intended apex of the rail and then removed foam on the hard 45 degree-ish angle to that mark does that not mean when you blended everything the apex is actually lower than your original mark?
i feel i have seen in other brief videos people mark above and below the intended apex of the rail, but this was on sped up compilation which they don't offer an explanation
Yes EPS foam. As Rex said, look up the Clark foam catalog, there are some good starting points in there. My other suggestion is to head to a surf shop and take a look at a ton of boards and find something that is a nose rider. Board rentals and try out something to see if you like it and base your design off that, Google is your friend too, I'm sure this question has been asked some where on the interweb :). Good luck!
Perfect video, I shaped and glassed one when I was younger, glassing is hell, back from Biarritz and have my new longbooard all cut out and redy for the rails, so nice work Maytay!! I have to shape mine in front yard here in san diego, neighbors love me, cheers, stuman P.S read the only Galactic surf adventure book in the world, took my ten years to finish it, kidneptunebook.com/

Never have I seen a video explaining the details of rails in depth as you do. Really inspirational.
Thank you and congratulations!

I’m wondering....can a good scribe do the same thing as the dowels for drawing rail bands?

Hey Andrew do you ever make custom boards for surfers? I was just wondering because I love your style of boards!
Hey, thanks, no I don't would like to maybe some day but just don't have the time now to even make all the boards I want :)
A few questions. Thats EPS foam correct? Also if I wanted to do a nose rider what kind of rocker would I want? Length etc.
Yes EPS foam. As Rex said, look up the Clark foam catalog, there are some good starting points in there.

Hey Andrew I always enjoy your videos. By the way, where can I get this tool you're using to trim the wood ? thanks!
You can get it on green light surfboards
What is foil?

I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the Woodglut plans.
Speak to much
