Tanner, your videos are immensely satisfying to watch! thank you! They make me want to buy all the right tools and shape a few... I made about six or so, waaay back in 1970-71 just after I got married... got myself in serious trouble with the in-laws, when I sanded the first creation right next to their open washing machine!! mass itchies for the family...☹️ Tools were primitive... one surform rasp, no disposable gloves, no accurate mix for catalyst... (first board never totally went hard on the deck..) Thank God for youtube!... wish we'd had it back then, to avoid stress.. but would I do it all again?? heck, yeah!!
Awesome video Man, I shaped and glassed a couple of 5'6" and a 5'10" boards years ago back in the days of single and twin fins and would love to get back into it. Inspiration sometimes drives us forward an you just gave me a whole lot of inspiration. Now I've subscribed to your channel and will be inspired even more, of that I'm sure. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺
Really great videos and content. I’ve picked up so many tips from this channel. Got a lot of tips on the whole process when I was working on my first board and am really happy with how it turned out. I’m now starting a long board and again got many ideas watching this video. I like the technique on spooning the nose and how you put the rocker on the tail and nose with the planer, definitely will try that way. You made using the planer on the rails look way easy, I might try that. Another great board, look forward to seeing it glassed.
Hey Tanner, Fantastic Video. Youve given us the confidence to make 2 boards for our college course here in the UK. We introduce students to surfing but feel the programme would be even better if we shaped and made some boards. Thank you for the effort to post your videos. ITS APPRECIATED. Adam UK
Lotta ways to thin nose out on deck n tail. Planer w depth adjust to contour cuts, then a sander you can also take foam off behind the nose. I've even seen people sureform it down then sand. Lotta ways to do it. Good shaping 👍
I have a similar setup, but more permanent, with pvc pipe starting from the ceiling above the board, and the flex hose clamped to the pvc. It helps to bungee the power cord up with the flex hose, so you don’t have to hold it out of the way, and then you can switch sides when planing without tangling the cord up on the racks. I’ve ran over my power cord with the planer, once. Lol. :)
The hole-punch trick in the template print out is so good. Consider doing a short/IG on it. I haven't seen that anywhere else.I watch like 10 of these type of videos before every time I do a board (a few/year).
takes a lot of talent to use a paper template. personally I could probably make a spin template out of 1/8 ply faster and better with the ability to adjust on the fly
I'm Shaper in Portugal, and in my opinion you left the tail and nose with quite thick. You should have seen a longboard already done. Normally leave the tail and nose between 1/4 or 3/4 inch
Thanks. TB. For the Video on shaping the Long Board, any photos on the Finish Longboard. Any chance see you surfing 🏄♂ ? Please have a Great New Year and hope you be Safe.
Yes I've got videos glassing this board with a resin swirl you can checkout on my channel. Unfortunately I don't have any full videos surfing it other than a quick clip on my youtube home page channel preview. Thanks!
@@BendheimBoards é uma pena mesmo... Seria muito legal estarmos juntos em uma sessão!! Mas isso ainda pode acontecer! 😉🤙🏻 Sim um vídeo em português seria mto legal!!! Pode pensar em fazer o vídeo bilíngue... Ia ficar muito maneiro!!!
Great video, I love your stuff! Have you ever wondered how much ground you cover when you make a board? I would be fun to wear something to measure it so you could say this was a 2 mile board😊🤙...
Really enjoying your videos! Thanks! Do you feel you’ve reached the point with your shaping skills where you can ride your own boards without limiting your surfing progression? I love the idea of making my own boards, but not sure how many I’d have to make before I’d feel confident that my self-shapes weren’t limiting me in the water. Thanks again for the videos!
Good question. I’ve always loved riding the boards I shape more than the boards I purchase. It’s the feeling of riding something you’ve put time and effort into making. Even if some aren’t as dialed in, I’ve never felt like it hinders my progression or enjoyment. Just gives an opportunity to figure it out and how it rides. Having lots of choices in the boards I ride and mixing it up also keeps me interested instead of surfing a thruster every session. Just my two cents 🤙
I agree with Tanner, I learned to surf on self shapes and made my own snowboards. The stoke is worth the imperfections. For me I found there is a skill level you reach where you can quickly adapt to ride pretty much any board. However when you start to reach that level its when you really start to notice the little things in a board. My first couple snowboards came out really rough but I could ride them as well as anything else. As I dialed in the small details I could ride my newer boards better but I could do certain things easier. For surfing I have found it similar only its a bit more picking the right board for the conditions of the waves. I look at the first surfboard I shaped now and I did so many things I wouldn't do again. But when I surf it every now and then its still super fun even though it was rough hahaha.
Ciao, un saluto dall'italia! Ottimo lavoro, sei un artista! Volevo chiederti: a cosa serve creare una zona " concave " sulla parte del nose ? Vero good job !
awesome video, you've inspired me to start shaping. Im just wondering if you could give some info on how you measured the tail rocker and where you decided to stop, if that makes sense. thanks very much!
@@BendheimBoards thank you senior for the information I want to learn it to be able to transform to a printed rowing board but the information on many youtubes I don't understand because it looks simple, it looks like a lot of promo videos for motorized rowing boards
I used to surf in the sixties. How do todays board builders determine the size (length, width, rocker, shape) of a long board - for a surfer of a given weight - in order to have a board that rides well and paddles easily?
Fantastic work !ay ask you what Kind of rail template you are using Here? More eggy or more knifey? I am working on May First board right now , and thanks to you It actually worked out . Grazie !
Thanks Matt! Yeah planning on a epoxy resin swirl on the bottom and undecided on the deck still. Might leave it white or do another swirl. I’ll probably decide once I see how the bottom comes out.
Hello. I will have a question that bothers me about rail. How do you do for the tracers, what are the measures that you use? Thank you again for this video sharing, look forward to seeing the rest
A good reference is Greenlight surf supply. Their website has shaping instructions with details on railband measurements. They walk you through it all 🤙
I have a difficult time keeping the stringer down in the nose. I tried a spoke shave but it just made the wood chip. Are you just using a small sanding block?

Blank manufacturers offer a variety of foam densities which is indicated with the paint color they put on the nose of the blank. For US blanks I've mostly used blue which is considered stock weight and red which is considered performance weight.
Thank you for your quick response! This is interesting, but I would like to know the density in terms of values. For example: kg per m2. I live in another country, and we mark the density on the packaging.
Bro! I got a 9' blank from the fam ... Uh, I mean 'Santa' ... for Christmas. Psyched. Hoping to shape at least an 8'10" for the Pipes break here in No Cal San Diego. Any tips for a template? I plan to follow your vid tutorial from start to finish.
Hey I’m wanting to make my own board from start to finish, and don’t know what supplies to get. Can you comment the necessary supplies to do your first board?
Thanks for the great video. Few questions on the nose concave/teardrop: how far are you from the fuck/rail? What's the depth from the center of the teardrop? And how do you know how big to make it?
Love the videos you put out. I recently started peeling old surfboards that are dead pretty much and wanted to give them the same shaped they had back than. Havetn actually tried yet. i order the PRO TOOL PACK to practice. Any tips? i dont have a planer figured id do it by hand. Any tips? or other materials to get.
Thanks! I’d suggest shaping a smaller board from the original shape since you’ll probably end up ripping off some foam when you peel off the old fiberglass and you’ll want to sand off the outer layers. So a smaller shape will give you room for that. Doing your first board by hand is a good idea since it leaves you less room for error. Read through the instructions on shaping a board on Greenlight surf supply’s website before you start and that will help as well. Best of luck!

Glad to bring back some memories! Sounds like its time to get your hands back on some foam!
Watching form the U.K. I also can`t wait to see the glassing and fin box fitment.
Right on man, those will be coming! 🇬🇧
Looking forward to you shaping the blank and getting some glass laid down you have a gift my man
Thanks man! 🙏
Well done Tanner!! Congratulations !!

You have crazy patience & skill
Great content! I wish i had a garage to start messing around with surfboard shaping while still under lockdown! Keep the great work. Really inspiring!
Appreciate the feedback man 🤙
Probably watched this about four times. Look fwd to next video.
Awesome! Shortboard video was posted a week ago and FCS 2 fin install video coming this Friday.

I like your PVC idea. Might have to implement it someday when I’m not in a curved green house
Stumble across your videos the other day and I'm hooked. Good stuff! When I finally shape my first board I'm sure I'll have questions for ya!
Awesome, glad to hear it!

@@BendheimBoards what is the thickness of the tail on this board?
About 1 5/8” a foot from the tail
can you link or send the paper outline you used? This video was super helpful huge thanks from Delaware!
What’s the theory behind having your planer sideways rather than having it plane nose to tail straight
Just part of the technique to follow the surface and curves of the board.
The video on how to make a surf papa is great, seniors, can this method be used to make a motorized paddle board, seniors
This will translate to a paddle board or SUP, but I can't speak for the motorized part.
