867 5309 - God’s honest truth, the paint has held up amazingly! No issues at all with the paint on the board, nothing has chipped, faded or discolored. It looks just as good as when I 1st painted it. Pro tip: Goof Off works great to remove wax from your surfboard once you remove the majority with a wax comb. Never, ever use acetone to remove paint from your board, it will eat through the fiberglass. I used Rust-Oleum Universal High-gloss Clear Spray Paint as a clear coat/top coat and it sealed the paint to the board with remarkable results. 🤙🏽
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. I was getting use to talking into a camera at this point, as well learning video editing. I just wanted to make a decent video for anyone who watched it. 🙏 Griffin Santos

Hi. Thank you so much for the question and watching my very 1st vlog. The Hexatraction is good, but not great. Aesthetically, Hexatraction looks amazing on the board, giving it a very appealing hexagon pattern incorporated with the art. I like the look a lot. I wanted to preserve the art on the board (as I'm sure you wouldn't want to smother it in wax either) and not have the art covered in wax, which btw I have put wax on the board and it didn't affect the paint job when it was removed. I use Fu Wax which is by far a pricey but a terrific surf wax to use, so I'm used to a very tacky glue under my feet. The Hexatraction doesn't stand up to that type of wax by far. It definitely gives you traction, I was surprised that the Hexatraction had some grip when in the water but, not to the type of grip you would expect from a higher grade wax (like Fu Wax). I made a 3 part series on the application and test/review of the Hexatraction. If you're interested in knowing more about my thoughts on the product I placed the url links in the description of this video of my 3 part series of vlogs revolving around the customization of the Slater Sci-Fi. If you're interested here's the link to part 3 - ruclips.net/video/Jcdg5Pe3Qgw/видео.html Make it a great day!
the combination of brighter lighter complementary colors looks soooo much better than the black & purple, dude! Yeah, the actual hands-on painting is time-consuming, especially when we're learning!! The result: A+ Top Notch!! Congrats!
Yes, When I started this project I thought I painted a nightmare on a surfboard. I was quite upset with what it looked like in the beginning. However, I persevered and was overwhelmingly happy with the outcome. Thank you for taking time out to watch my video and commenting. I really appreciate it.
that googone spray can really loosen the edges of the pads stickiness but i really liked the first time you got a run i think you should of stopped there. the paints are going to fail rub fade and scratch should really glass over because a delicate pattern like that if ruined cant be repaired but glad your happy with it
+kevin almeida It was a spontaneous decision painting the board.. also wanted to document it. The Goof-off didn’t effect my traction pad, though. Art is subjective, I had an idea in my head of how I wanted to see this board look. I wasn’t happy with the 1st attempt. It’s been close to 3 years since I’ve painted this board and the paint on the board looks the exact same as when I painted it. No fading, chipping or scratches. I used acrylic paint and then finished it with an acrylic clear coat and it’s still looking fresh and new. 🤙🏽 Appreciate your comment.
@@joeypaesano ya just thought personally that the runs looked bad ass and the end result looks tiedie or crayon not bad but man those runs look so darn good. just a painted surface that receives friction of feet hands salt will thin out the paint over time
Hey Stephen! THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!! I appreciate the comment too!🤙🏽 It’s a lot of fun to customize boards, I’m sure you’ll love what you create. What type of board are you planning on customizing? This was my 1st time trying to record a vlog style video. Plus, my 1st surfboard customization. I actually have another custom surfboard video which I’ve done on a DHD Black Diamond. I got more into depth and also better instructions on “how to customize a surfboard” in that video. If you’re interested, check it out here. ruclips.net/video/iEkj5g4yyQM/видео.html
I know this is a unrelated question but you are the only pro surfer who really answers my questions but If I have a quad fin setup and want a thruster can I just get one on the take out 1 of my fins and put a big fin on the end and 2 small ones on the sides
In my opinion. You can try any style fin set up. There are no rules. Look at Kelly Slater, he’s constantly trying new styles and designs of surf boards and using different types of fin set ups. I have a friend who rides a twin fin but throws a smaller fin in the back for his thruster set up. I use large fins in my thruster (3 fin) set up, even though I’m “recommended” to use medium size fins revolving around my weight & height. I feel the board cut through the wave far better. So to answer your question; try different fin set ups. Experiment. It’s all about what feels good under your feet and what gives you better control. 🤙🏽
Yes. I’ve tried that. It works. But, you have to make sure that it does not bead at the bottom as it runs down. It will make the paint on the board bumpy with little beads of paint where the running paint ends.
I have a 6.0'/22"/2.5" Marbella, egg shape. Definitely is gonna be the next challenge for the quarentine. Cheers man from Chile and thanks for the knowledge!!
Hey vincent . I appreciate the comment. Surfing is an absolutely amazing experience. It takes time to learn though (give yourself at least 6 months to get all the basics). If you’re truly interested I can point you in a good direction.. there’s 2 RUclips channels named 1.) ‘How To Rip’ & 2.) ‘Kales Broccoli’.. both channels should be a great 1st step in understanding and watching the basics.. 🤙🏽
Isabel Smiles - Great Question. The answer is, “No, the paint will not scrape off.” I placed a protective clear coat on top of the paint. It’s a hard shell. I’ve been surfing on this board lately and the board still looks just as good with no paint flaws. 🤙🏽
Not at all!! GO FOR IT! It’s a lot of work but, it’s fun and the end results are gratifying. Note: if you make a mistake, DO NOT use acetone to remove paint. It will eat away at the glass coating. Goof-Off is the safe way to go for removing paint on surfboards. Time to get creative!!
👋🏽 Hi. Thanks for the question. 1st I tried standing the surfboard upright, then by taking the paint pen I started blotching the very top (tip) of the board and wanted the paint to drip down to the tail. Unfortunately, as the paint (SLOWLY) began rolling down it left paint beads and uneven streaking. So I had to abort that method. However, while removing the uneven paint mess I created with the paint pens I found the solution. ‘Goof Off’ aerosol spray! As I began to spray the paint on my board to remove it the paint began running down the board (quickly) and it was a totally random fix. ‘Goof Off’ paint remover actually made the paint run quick and even. So to answer your question. It was a mixture of blotching the different color paint pens and then spraying the paint on the board with ‘Goof Off’ so the paint would get loose and run down nose to tail. Hope I was able to answer your question 🤙🏽
Thank you George Renshaw for watching my video through.. I know.. it was a total disaster and I really thought I screwed up my board BIG TIME... luckily the finished product came through 🤙🏽
Lol!! Yes. There are a few spots on the east coast of Florida. Mostly in Volusia County. That waves do stays consistent.. Small but fun waves during the summer, Big swells during the winter.
StukinNorCal It’s all good, man. Most ppl have the same reaction. I mean, we don’t have Cali waves, but there’s definitely something to surf most days. www.surfer.com/tag/new-smyrna-beach/
I really appreciate the comment. Plus, this was my 1st vlog and didn't know what I was doing.. lol. I wanted to show more of the painting process but, I got so engaged in the artwork that I forgot to turn on the camera. Haha!
I'm glad you asked. It allows me an opportunity to make a last video review of this surfboard. But, since you asked, I'll give you the inside scoop. It holds up perfect! The paint is definitely not chipping off or cracking. It's sealed very well. It's been in the water, baking in the sun and I even have scraped wax off of it. It looks just as good today as when I 1st did it. 🤙
@@shannondollie make sure to use acrylic paint & then when it’s dried use an acrylic clear coat spray. The process might take 1 or 2 days for the paint to dry.. I baked the paint in this Florida sun. on the 3rd day I gave it the clear coat to protect the paint and then let it sit in the sun for 1 extra day so the clear coat could bake in.. also, if you have a track pad on your board cover it up w/ a heavy towel.. the heat from the sun could make the traction pad come unglued. Happy painting!! 🤙🏽

Here's another tip with those markers if the tip of the point sinks in if you press down hard an does it hold it should drip down
