This board blank was gifted to me as payment for some repairs I had completed for a local CNC surfboard shaper. Unfortunately it was a bit small for myself but it seemed to be the perfect dimensions for my mate Sammy.
Whenever I get the option I like to mix things up and try out new ideas. Luckily Sammy was also keen for some colour to spice up what is essentially a pretty standard shortboard.
The surfing footage is from a fairly wonky little day we had here in Margaret River, Western Australia. Sammy's first ride and by all accounts it did what it was made for.
Amazing! Thanks for the time and effort, even if it wasn't edited I'd love to have an angle of you shaping any board at all! Thank you so much, always looking forward to these!
Thanks mate 🤙
That deck colour looks sick! I reckon cutting it off under the deck so it's just a rail colour would look epic too! 😎
That would look insane!
Georgeous board, excellently filmed, and very informative
🤙
true inspiration! I would love to hear you talk about how you came about your method.
Thanks 🤘
Majority of my method is research then trial and error.
Quality work all round
Even milled fibre in the fin box 👍
Not everyone goes the extra mile
I'm lovin the videos
Thanks mate. A little bit of extra work goes a long way 🤙
Super enjoy to see all these process and efforts. Thank you !!!
Yew 🤙
Nice looking board!!!!!!!
Yew!

Thank you very much!
Wicked job, great colours!!! Man you live in a beautiful place, the water looks amazing!!! Thanks for another great video.
Yew! 🤘
very good and perfect senior work
🤙🤙
@@Shrednaught 🤙🤙🤙🤙
I cleaned up and glassed a 7' fun gun with my buddy. Can't wait to use it!
Nice stuff!
Would love to try that board
Amazing job man 🤙
Yew! Thanks man
A ce niveau , c'est du grand art. J'adore.👏
It’s really good to see you surf the boards we understand a filmer is hard to come by but if you can eventually post more surf clips that would be cool 🤟
Definitely. Couldn’t agree more. It really pulls it all together I think.
Would have loved to have seen that one being shaped, sick vid
I’ll shape a HPSB soon 🤙
8:32 had me dripping
👌🏻👌🏻
😅
Board in fire 🔥, hope to ride that soon!
🤙🤙
killer thanks i like the bonus surf footage at the end.that water looks unreal
Thanks mate. Yeh it was a beautiful day
That is one beautiful board, mate!
Thanks mate 🤙
craftsman! good job bro
🤘
watching you sand makes me miss poly.. very nice board, superclean work!!
Haha yeh man. Those carbon boards must be insane to do ?
@@Shrednaught yeah man.. doable but not easy. turning out awesome tho! nice to see you linked my name to my Hillbilly insta account
@@alexanderschuit5340 I’m pretty keen to give it a go. Just don’t have a bag set up. Haha yeh man, don’t know why but it just clicked.
Amazing! 🤯😳
🤘
shes a ripper! 😍
awesome! the blue and orange reminded me of the californication album ahah
great work🤙
Yew! Love that album.
I too, am a fan of the DA sander, but find it does’nt get the sand coat flat enough for a gloss & polish.......that last layer of glass over the boxes must creat a wonderfull edge.
Yeh one of the perks of the extra step. Crisp edge
Looks sick. Nice job.
🤙
what a beauty
Yew!
greeeat job man love ittt
🤙
looks great dude!
Thanks
insane bro good job
🤙
Ever try a HFLV gun for your secret sauce? I did a few boards that way and it worked really well. Sick build as always!
Yeh man I used to do it that way. But it was making the shed a toxic environment and I needed to keep working in there so I went to the roller. The spray is awesome and if I had a proper extraction setup I’d definitely do that.
@@Shrednaught must be using slightly different sauces, the stuff I had wasn't too bad to work with. Paint booth or area would be ideal but that's a lot of extra space needed.
If I ever win the lotto I’d buy a sea container and fit it out as a spray/ sand booth.
One can dream 😆
@@Shrednaught That's my dream for a shaping setup, 40' container split in half for shaping/glassing and a solar panel setup for power 😂
Hi ! Really nice work !!!
Which resin's mixture do you use with the paint roller ? And what grit do you use to sand it ?
Thank you so much for the great content 🤙
Hey man! great vid as always! Really enjoy learning from your vids :)
I'm about to shape my first surfboard and am now shopping for some tools but am a bit lost.
I know there's a lot of info on 'industry standard' tools but they're quite expensive.
Any low/mid price electric sanders and planers you can recommend?
Hey man, thanks 🤙
As far as low priced tools are concerned you can get away with the cheapest ones you can find. Not sure where you’re located but in Australia I used a ryobi planer and polisher sander for years and they’re not very expensive at all. There are ones even cheaper and they still work.. but just remember the cheaper the tool the quicker it’ll break so just keep that in mind when thinking about the purchase. If you’re thinking of doing a few more boards than one I’d look at the mid range stuff as it won’t break super easy 🤘
Loving you're vids .I would like to see you have a crack at making a timber board I reckon it would make for an awesome vid .
Great minds think alike. I was actually looking for a wood kit just the other day. Probably the one thing I’ve never done. Super keen to give it a try
Excelente trabalho.
Parabéns
shit, now i need a new surfboard hahahaha, very very nice video. like it
🤘
super video as always your colours are so bright they are just class. after watching the video a second time i relised you did not pin stripe your cut lap but i am thinking there is no need as it is super clean. Do I add the colours to the resin before the catlist??
Thanks mate. Yeh when I get a super clean cutlap I won't pin line it unless requested. Add the colours to the resin before the catalyst.
How is that concrete acrylic sealer working for you, does it turn yellow overtime?
Yeh it good. It has an UV protection in the sealer. But having said that all boards will turn a slight yellow eventually. That’s just the nature of having foam in the sun.
@@Shrednaught Yes I known all boards do but I have use regular clear coat at times that turn yellow fast but in others I use UV ones and damn, that is a game changer. I do that when painting them or when I lack of doing a gloss coat. Nice cutlap dawg!
🤘
Gidday Mr Naught🙂
Just wondering where you get good, white rice paper from for the logo. I’ve Ebayed some and it’s got a brown shade to it under the glass. I’m assuming you use rice paper unless you do it with something else.
Thanks in advance.
Love your work👍👍
Howdy 🙋♂️
I get my decals done by a professional surf decal maker. But before that I used to purchase rice paper from a shop here in Aus called Jackson’s art supplies. Worked good except for dark colours you would see some milky ness behind the logos
What did you roll on the board before you sanded 300 grit ?? Looks amazing
Clear acrylic sealer. Gives it a nice finish 🤘
Hey bro, this board looks sick. what grit sand paper do you sand down the fibreglass layers once they have hardened, before doing the hot coat? Cheers
I use 80grit mirka pads. They don’t seem as aggressive as standard paper. Using standard is probably look at 120 .
@@Shrednaughtcheer for that mate. is that the same for when you sand down the hot coat aswell, and then the gloss coat?
Yeh. My sanding is all done with the mirka pads. They’re unbelievably good. So it would generally go 80 grit for all the heavy lifting. Opening boxes/leash plugs and sanding down first fill coats. Then 120 - 240 and then the sealer and then 360 polish pad or equivalent to knock all the zits outta that. This is just for the standard matte finish.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 Need I say more
Cheers mate 🤙
Ok. Dumb question time... What's up with the notched skegs?? I've never seen that before. Doesn't that notch weaken the fin and make it easier to break off????
They’re just dummy fins for setting the fin boxes. The notches are for putting tape onto and holding the fin down so it doesn’t float up with the resin
AMAZING! What head you youse for ur milling machine ? - For install the finbox?:)
I use the bit provided by futures in the install kit. I think they’re 3/4 and 1/2 inch from memory
Thank you!
Is your Mirka sander random orbit, rotary, or dual action? I can’t tell from the vids. I adopted your no tape deck hot coat method, love it
I believe it’s just orbital. It doesn’t bog down under load which is good. The dust extraction is what sold it for me.
what did you apply at 10:44? pro finish?
Please post more glassing videos! yeww! Cheers!
Nice work mate .. Can you share how much resin you use to make this board ? Cheers from Portugal.
Thanks mate 🤙 yeh this was a standard shortboard but I did do the resin swirl which always takes more resin than just a clear. You could get away with 2 litres but I’d say 3 litres is a safer bet. My advice is to always have a little more resin rather than not enough 🤘
@@Shrednaught thanks mate .. keep on the good work 🤙
Looks great! Just a question, why not install the boxes pre-lam? Is it for even color application?
Because of the tint. If I place the boxes under a dark tint and fail to see any air bubbles when I sand them open it’ll open the air bubbles cavity’s and making the install look messy.
@@Shrednaught thanks for the explanation. I didn’t think of that, makes perfect sense. I just thought the extra patches would be a little darker.
orbital sander with vacuum hose👍 good idea. why does everyone install fin boxes after glass though? doesnt futures consider it a before glass fin box?
I do post lam install for tints. You can’t see air bubbles under dark tints and if you sand the air bubbles open it makes the install look ugly. Clears I’ll always go into foam pre lam
ah ok that makes sense. im a "function over form" type. that stuff bothers me😉
Haha fair enough mate . A post lam install is a stronger install but it adds extra steps which in a production environment slows everything down.
agreed. ill admit the tints never look great around my fin boxes. thanks for the inspiration dude. im a lonesome shaper on the great lakes, without ppl like you my learning curve would be shit.
Yew! Keep it up 🤘
Hey dude - board looks great. Why do you use a roller for the final hotcoat instead of standard brush? Or is it not a standard poly hotcoat?
That’s a clear sealer coat mate. So it’s not resin but an acrylic sealer 🤙
@@Shrednaught Oh right! So you go hotcoat -> Sand -> Acrylic sealer?
Yeh depends on the board but if it’s a perfect fill coat / laminate then yup that’s the process.
great! sorry I may have asked this in another video. did you just roller on the gloss coat?
Thanks. Not a gloss coat. Just a clear acrylic sealer coat.
@@Shrednaught thanks! do you still wet sand it after for a satin finish?
I give it a once over with a high grit to knock down all the little bumps from dust settling on the sealer.
@@Shrednaught Thanks again!
Shrednaught,
Can you provide some information on the product you are rolling on the board after the hotcoat? No need to provide a brand name, just the basics, like acrylic or waterborne poly, and gloss, satin, or matte. Thank you!
Of course. It’s a satin acrylic floor sealer. 🤙
@@Shrednaught 👍🏼
Such a nice tint! Can't help but be sad about the non wrap on the rails though. A sentence to early death. 😥
What do you mean the non wrap on the rails?
@@Shrednaught only one of the top layers wrapped to the bottom of the rails. So there is only 2 layers on the bottom of the rail which is a common place for it to buckle. Not an issue unless it's for board snapping surf though. Fuck it looks amazing though. The craftsmanship is next level ❤❤❤
Thanks man. All my glass on the deck patches is cut at Apex of rail. Only time I’ll do 12oz rail with 4oz glass schedule is if I do a reverse lam for deck tint. Don’t know many that do double wraps from the deck ?
@@Shrednaught yeah you are right there. We did a poll on backyard shapers once and I was in a small minority.
How long does it usually take for stuff to go off? You reckon a cabinet maker could build his own boards?
Depends on how you catalyse it but for the lam generally 10-15 mins to gel and then I leave it overnight before sanding.
Yeh a cabinet maker already has a good sense of the tools . You just need to adapt to foam/surfboards
What was that you rolled on with the paint roller?
Clear acrylic sealer
Hi mate- what paints do you use for lam?
I use surfboard specific resin tints mate. Easily found at any surfboard supplier 🤙
Fucking sickkkk
what was on the roller?
Siick
is swaylocks still around?
Yeh it is… but I don’t think it’s an active forum so much anymore
Hey Shredman check out David Weber Surfboards he is Perth based doing timber boards
Sweet man. Is he Perth , Western Australia based?
Lol sorry mate facebook had a lend of me it said he was in Perth I assumed it was Wa doesn't look like he is though .But his boards look sick you might be able to steal some tips and tricks anyways .I remember there was a guy in Freo doing course to build wood boards but not sure who it was
Hah maybe there is a Perth in Brazil? Yeh there are a couple of hollow core wood guys in Perth. I’ve been eyeing off a kit so might make it happen eventually
What router bit do you use for the leash plug?
its a diablo 1/4 inch shank straight cut. Whatever width your leash plugs are.
Great thanks. Do you use 24 or 32mm?
@@jordymcivor-clark4365 24 I think. The smaller diameter
What type of sanders do you use? I’m looking for a good one.
I use just a standard sander polisher unit to open fin boxes and did leash plugs. But for most of my sanding I use a mirka deros 5 as it has the dust extraction. I sand in my shaping bay so I need this. Works great
@@Shrednaught thanks for your quick reply! Love your work by the way!
Yew!
Where could I buy one of your boards?
I live in Western Australia. Other than that there isn’t any other way sorry.
Where did you get your fin marker tool
Online. Any good surfboard supply store will have them
@@Shrednaught do you know where you got that exact one
Shaper supply I believe
@@Shrednaught Ok Thanks!!!
No tienes ni idea 😅
Sorry I only speak English my man.
what kind of foam is that?
Poly
