Making a Wooden Surfboard: The Surfer's Dream Come True

- Hi there friends, in today’s video I’m going to show you how we made a hallow surfboard entirely made out of redwood. We partnered up with Jarvis Boards to create our surfboard from one of their new surfboard kits. This 7'2"was inspired by the legendary shaper Gerry Lopez's Pocket Rocket and designed by both Eric from Jarvis and Eric of NoBadTides. We started with building the frame of the kit using hot glue, that way if we had any changes to make, it was as easy as using a heat gun to warm it up and readjust the frame. Once the frame was built, I ripped down quarter inch strips on my tablesaw from a 2” x 6”x8’ redwood board to get our strips for the surfboard. We glued each strip down using polyurethane glue and held it in place with clamps. Each strip took about an hour to fully dry before we could unclamp it and start a new strip, which was the most time-consuming process of the entire build. Once we had all of the strips glued down I use my oscillating tool to cut the board to shape, and then a flush trim router bit with a router to clean up the board. Then we cut two strips of 3/8 inch thick cork for the rails and wrapped it around the board twice using heavy duty spray adhesive. Then I trimmed down the cork rails, using my oscillating tools, and had Eric shape the rails using a Shinto saw rasp. Once the board was shaped and sanded down, we gave a thin coat of penetrating epoxy from Total Boat to the wood to help soak in to the grain before giving our fiberglass coat. We fiberglass the top of the board first and used a cut lap with tape on the underside making it easy for clean up once the fiberglass was 75 to 80% cured we used a sharp razor blade to cut away the excess on the bottom of the board, a light standing on the edge and then we rinse and repeat the same process with the fiberglass. Once everything was fully cured we gave a hot coat of epoxy over the top to bring out all the colors, and it really made the board shine. We let it fully cure for a few more days and then sanded down to 320 one more time before giving it a nice coat of Halcyon varnish once the board was fully cured it was time to take her out in the water for a first maiden voyage. This was such a fun project and I can’t wait to make another board!!! This is a simple and easy project, and I highly recommend building one, be sure to tag me when you do make one of your own.

I edited this video myself (super proud) with Adobe Premiere Pro. I’ve learned everything thus far about editing via RUclips tutorials, and a little trial and error along the way. This was the first video I figured out how to add captions, which I’ll be doing moving forward. I also learned how to blur in my last video. I’m always trying to keep learning something new with editing.
