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!
Amazing work. Back in 1963 the few surfers in NY had balsa boards. Then, at age 12, I bought a mail order "make your own surfboard kit" (shipped from Cali) for $40. It included a blank, 10 oz cloth, a can of resin and 4 pages of instructions. Tooling a surfboard is equivalent to Prometheus bringing fire from the Gods to the earth.
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!
That board looks awesome!!! Also it was super fun surfing with you out at Agate beach a couple weeks ago. Look forward to seeing out in the water again soon!
👋🏽 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! 🍻
Nice little vid bro you're a heck of a craftsman. Loved the way this was shot and edited too, props to whoever did all that, whether it was you the shaper or someone else. Aloha 🤙
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 made one similar but single fin. 6, 3 x 21, 1/4" 2 , 15/16. What I hate is that I don't take out as much. Within 2 years I have only ridden it 6 times. Every time I take it, the waves have to be 3' and up in order to enjoy the ride. But once on the wave it is a smooth ride.
@@Surfmus in in the same bus! I’ve taken it out 2x and it wasn’t in good surf! I’m going to have to take it out again soon! I hope it rides a bit better on a flatter but 4-5’ day!
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!
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.
This board would be sick as a quad amazing work man keep it up

love the channel hope it blows up big
Thank you Rodger! I really appreciate it and thank you for your support 🎉 🙏🏽
Amazing‼️
@@passartko thank you 🙏🏽
Love that sky blue. I do the leash plug the same way with a guide and a Forstner bit. 🤙🏼
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?
@@paul_s-eo 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.
@@paul_s-eo 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!
Nice Board and tunes🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you coach nate 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Lookin' good! You've come a long way in the last 6 months.
Thank you 🙏🏽 I appreciate it 🍻
Nice work thanks ❤
Thank you 🙏🏽
Would love one of these !
It’s up for sale if you’re in the PDX area 😬🍻
@@paul_s-eo I wish, I’m in Scotland !
Whoaaa how’s the surf in Scotland???
@@paul_s-eo right now it’s terrible! 😂 gets better in September.
@DGT73 sounds similar to here 😆
We get random good days here and there though

Which blank did you start out with? Nat rocker?
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!
yes please
Aren’t futures installed under the glass?
