Hey dude! Just thought I’d let you know I’m beginning my shaping journey, just built my shaping stands and slowly gathering tools! Watching your video helps a tone and gives me inspiration! Yeww 🏄🏼
Heck ya man, Stoked to hear it! Seriously such a cool hobby to get into for surfers, its just so neat to design your board, obsess over all the details and slowly bring your dream to life, then then actually get to surf it. Glad I could help out, trying to share info and make it more accessible for others getting into it. Yep you just need to use water based acrylic paint, literally just paint it on the foam and squeegee away all the excess🙌🙌
First vid I watched and I’m takin a dump. Very fun!! Great stuff love watching!
Nothing as special as that, but very thing just goes downhill from there😂. Glad you enjoyed!
I sand with that same Rotex set up. Keeps the mess down.
Sort of a game changer right?!
Learning a lot from you. I'm teeing off soon. Stoked and excited!! Thank you!!!!
Heck ya AJ, kick some butt, have some fun and don’t get too frustrated along the way if things turn sideways on you! If you post tag rock and sea on insta! Love to see the boards getting shaped in the RUclips community!!
That is a sweet board!! Like the mugs
You make it look so easy great work, just glasses my first board and didn’t come out so clean, lots of bubbles
No worries man, it’s seriously tricky getting the hang of glassing, but I’ll say it’s so darn fun getting it dialed in! Don’t give up, keep at it! You won’t regret it!!
Nice looking board, digging the idea step down rail with the nose beak🤙
Hey thanks Dan, it’s a pretty cool design, really helps you pack more volume into tiny boards! The sun stone is one of the main models Asher Pacey rides, I liked it so much I’m going to shape myself one
Jdub.. you are awsome. Coaching and sharing. Great work
Hey thanks man, much appreciation! Hope you find it fun and helpful!
Such a cool board! Nice job!!👏 I love the mug too!!❤
Killer! Love the colors!
Thanks, pretty sweet right!
Gracias por el video
Sería interesante poder tener la tabla original y demostrar que una copia hecha por ti tiene cualidades que las hacen lo suficientemente idénticas .
Hey good comment Jaco, I generally copied the basic design behind the album sunstone, being a fish with a step down deck and then the tucked tail. Going past that there are a hundred small very important nuances that are likely very different. Depending on the combination and characteristics of small nuances a board will ride hugely different. When I shape, glass, and sand a board I try to design in the ideal combo of small tweaks but I’d imagine albums has a different combo. This board turned out super fun but is definitely not an exact match to the sun stone
that was rad. wish I could surf it. :)
Love the videos dude! Just shaped my first board using a lot of your tips.
How do you figure out fin placement (esp without one of them fancy fin measuring sheets)? Made a 6'5" rounded pin that I'd like to make a twin fin. Keep up the good work!
Yassss! Huge congrats, that’s a big accomplishment, pretty big milestone really, the first is always the hardest! Building a generation of garage shapers! Happy I could pass on some tips! You don’t explicitly need a shapers square/fin jig, it is way easier I’ll say though. You just need a measuring Triangle and carefully measure the placements and tow in from the rail, I go a little more in depth on this vid Futures Fin Box Kit
ruclips.net/video/zOXwxiaNG-8/видео.html, but another good source is this shaping forum www.swaylocks.com/forum/107597/thruster-fin-placement
Love this, any chance you could share some useful dims to help me shape one just like it?
Hey absolutely! She is a really fun board, I’ve made a handful of these now and absolutely love them! 5’4 x 19 3/4 x 2 3/4. I used and recommend using a US BLANKS 2lb density 5’10 RP blank. I really like the nose and tail rocker on this blank. You can always adjust the nose and tail rocker on any blank, but I like this blank for this board because the stick rocker is just what I want. I balanced the cut and took 3 inches off the nose and 3 off the tail of the blank then left the rocker as-is. Hope this helps!
Siiick. What type of paint did you use? I couldn't make out the brand on the bottles.
Hey thanks man! Here I was using Decoart and Americana acrylic paints, you can pick them up at hobby lobby! You can also go to Home Depot and use any of their water based paints, huge selection and high quality!
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop nice. Thank you
Nice one again! Love the enthusiasm! Too bad your rotating piece of the planer broke. Do you have the 3D file of that piece? Maybe I can make it fit my planer as well and make shaping a little bit easier. And in the next video, please tell the guys to be careful with the air nozzle! stop dinging fresh blanks! 😂
Thanks man, we spend so much of our lives stressing out in school and work, it’s just so fun to relax and do something so fun, hard not to be happy when board building! What planer do you have?! I’m actually designing adapters for most of the common surf planets out there, doing material testing now to find the strongest solution, might need to upgrade to a fancy form labs printer or get into injection molding!
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop stress!! 👎 I try to spend as much time doing what I love. Being outside, surfing, doing DIY projects and my work is also fantastic although it comes with stress sometimes.
I have a cheap Ferm ppm1013 planer. With a hose attachment of 35mm in diameter.
We recently bought some 3D printers in our school (I work as a teacher) and I see endles possibilities now to print handy gadgets. 🙌
That is a nice board man thank for the explanation, Is that an acrylic paint that you applied directly on the foam?
Hey thanks Mahmoud, turned out super cool right?! Yes sir, just plain acrylic paint from hobby lobby
Nice work 👍🏼! Did you put in any bottom concaves? I froth over Album boards so bad I copied a Lightbender for my self-shaped board! It’s not bad but I have a ways to go 😅😂
Hey heck ya, so fun to do your own artistic expression of a board and make it with your own hands right?! I did single though the chest fading into double concave and V in the tail. Finally had some good surf come through, my buddy is surfing it right now so stoked to see how she rides!
Sick board what were the dimensions?
5’4 x 19 3/4 x 2 3/4. Regarding the rocker, I used and recommend using a US BLANKS 2lb density 5’10 RP blank. I really like the nose and tail rocker on this blank. You can always adjust the nose and tail rocker on any blank, but I like this blank for this board because the stock rocker is just what I want. I balanced the cut and took 3 inches off the nose and 3 off the tail of the blank then left the rocker as-is. Hope this helps!
Hi, great job, looks class. Do you have to do a cut lap when glassing over a painted blank?? I’ve only done it for a few resin tints? I’m super interested in painting the blank and was hoping I wouldn’t have to do a cut lap. Cheers bud. 👍
Hey thanks Tom, stoked to hear having fun board building! Nope your good, no need to do a precise cutlap over a painted blank👍. Your right, you only really have to do it for resin tints but still like to do it sometimes just to keep things extra crisp although unnecessary
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop cheers mate, good to know that’ll save me a load of work.
Great job, looks awesome! How's it surf?
Coleman took her out this last weekend, but surf was only 1ft, too excited not to give it a try, but not really good enough surf to get a feel for the board. Swell coming in later this week, definitely surfing this weekend!🙌🙌🌊
I’m also curious about the paint technic on the board. Did you squige the paint right onto the foam?
Yes sir, literally right onto the foam and then glassing over! Sorry didn’t see this till now, very late reply!
“I’m cool calm and collected 😥
Air compressor tip dings 2/2😂😂🙌🙌
Sell the mugs. I’ll buy one for sure.
awesome! what type of paint was used during this build?
Hey thanks! We use Decoart and Americana acrylic paints, haven’t had any issues with these fading and they are water based so compatible with fiberglass resin🙌🙌🙌. Hope this helps! Cheers
How much were the total costs in materials to make this board? Maybe too many colors, less is better sometimes, like the orange with the blue. Edit: after seeing the finish product it looks really good.
$100 for the blank, about $250 total for glassing, $350 total, and I’m sure big companies are getting materials cheaper! I will say a lot of the cost comes in the skilled labor and then retail markups! Pretty fun experimenting with colors right?! Every board is sort of a brand new canvas to try something new!
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop little insight, tailpads are 4$ from the factory, t-shirts 2$. Boardbags 15$. Boards from chinese factories are about 300$ including finboxes and all
😳 $4 stomp pads, retail they are $30-$50😡😡. That really is crazy
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop add packaging and shipping make it 10, distributor takes 60-70% making it 17. Surfshop takes 100% making it 35. Take in account that brand also have to deal with sponsorships, orders with defects and such.
Most money goes to shops and distributors.
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop source: trust me.... I actually had a brand of tailpads and still do wholesale for other brands
How come you poured resin on the bottom but did paint on the deck?
? We actually painted both top and bottom and then resined over both sides!
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop Was the colored resin poured on BEFORE you glassed the board? And then you glassed with clear?
We didn’t actually use resin to color the board, we used acrylic paint right on the foam! Let it dry a few hours then clear glass right over the top! There are a ton of different ways you can color a board, you can use color tinted resin as a good option, but here we wanted to try this method, it’s called an acrylic smear!
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop It looked like resin. Thanks.
Where's the after footage???
Awe man, still haven’t got some good footage surfing this bad boy, but collecting footage and want to do a cool vid surfing a bunch of different garage boards with buddies!
@@RockandSeaGarageBoardShop LOVE the template and color scheme!
Thanks man, it’s really cool, I liked it so much I’m probably going to shape a whole quiver of them for all my buddies
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Those clowns at Album are taking their customers for a ride. Overpriced hipster boards. The marketing is strong with Album
Doing your own R&D I see,,, just ripp off and duplicate someone else's designs..nice guy!
