@@BendheimBoards You beat me too it. I was just getting ready to post the same thing. Video wasn't too long, yet wasn't too short. Music was unobtrusive and pleasant. Just enough of each step to keep it interesting. And of course, the board turns out looking great. I've never built my own board. It'd be cool to surf something you made yourself. Great job all the way around! Dig factor 9!
@@pino-v5b 15 minutes! I laughed out loud when I read that!🤣 Last board took two friggin weeks to complete. Obviously I wasn’t working on it all day, but dang, one-off boards take a lot of time. I could have easily made 5 boards or more in the same time though if I had the space and had em all lined up.
This is magic - I’m 68 years old and have surfed since I was 10 years old growing up in Santa Cruz - I once spent time in Italy and my neighbor was an artist that sculpted with marble - I’d watch the process for hours and was fascinated - I’m an engineer and physicist - pretty dry stuff - but the sculptures a shaper creates using so many trades is so unique and each sculpture has its own identity - they all drift as an individual - it’s magic - Thanks to the Shapers that give us life
Beautiful job on the board. Really nice work. I was Greenlight’s first ever employee back around ‘09-‘10. Helped Brian get a couple of his NJ locations off the ground. After teaching the board making course for a while I moved onto glassing for some of the local guys and doing my own stuff. Haven’t made a board in a couple years, but this brought back some good memories. Keep up the good work. 🤙
@@N3vDawg Hmm. Not off the top of my head, but you might be in luck if you poke around on the Swaylock’s forum a bit. There are plenty of guys out there. Good luck and have fun!
@@BendheimBoardshey I have a few questions what kind of paint is that just normal black paint or? And how long does it usually take for your resin to dry
This is so inspiring! My grandfather was from Spain. He was what they call a Riviera Master (one of the last ones in the Dominican Republic). Riviera masters would chop trees down and build huge sailboats the old-fashioned way. He came from a long line of Riviera masters from Vigo, Spain. (His family have been boat builders since the times of Columbus and passed on the skills from father to son). It's in my blood. I love watching how things that float are made. This was so awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!
This is why I take care of all my surfboard. It’s art and craftsmanship that I appreciate. Never understood people that beat up their boards and trash them.
@@steven-mj1yi Dope. I have these nice wood mounted racks for my twin and quad fish in my living room. It's basically wall art at that point that you can ride!
Holy cow i remember when FCS came out. It changed the industry almost overnight. The 2 plug system. I went from glassing on fins to hardly ever glassing on fins in a short period. I ended up using my fin rope for various airbrush designs. 25 years in the business and I gave it up. This video is bringing back good memories. Nice board you made there fella.
You know what’s funny? We’ve got this low key mentor ship thing going and you don’t even know! 😂 I knew I wanted to shape for a long time but most of the industry keeps their process a secret, but not you. I watched all your videos a few times while shaping my first board and they helped tremendously. Anytime someone asks where I learned to shape I send them a link to your channel. Keep it up brotha I know there’s plenty of other people with the same gratitude for you! Thanks again, have a good one!
Man you have one amazing talent the Craftsmanship you put into this gorgeous board. I Skateboard myself and can respect the time put forth into that surf board. Surfing is my next board to learn. Going Skimboarding this week coming up in Santa Cruz CA.
Hi there. I have never seen a board being made. The way you made it looked very masterfully done. I can’t imagine how perfect the shape has to be to make it surf worthy, yet it was beautiful to see it all form. (By the way) I’m not even a surfer. Amazing!!
I know now why hand crafted boards are more costly and obviuosly worth every penny. My new goal will be to become a better surfer, so that I can appreciate this kind of board. Thanks for sharing, you made a beleiver out of me.
my dad recently got into building boards and he loves kite boarding and as his child we love surfing and he has now started trying to wind and make boards and i see him do this stuff every day and i think this stuff is just soooo cool!!!
Nice. I remember the first windsurfboard I made was a speed needle. I wanted it to be as light as possible. I broke it in the first hour I surfed it when my fin caught a rock just under the surface. Ah damned, hours and hours wasted for just one hour of surfing. I made many other boards afterwards but that first one is like your first love. You'll never forget it.
perfect great work , i have always admired surfboard shapers , true artist . I have watched people shape and glass boards for over 50 years , it still amazes me , great talent young man keep up the great work
My dream is to one day become a full time board shaper and photographer. I live in Colorado, so this is easier said than done, but I want to begin by shaping a wakesurf board for myself. This is a great video just encapsulating the general process of shaping and glassing a board, and although this is no small feat, has made this goal of mine seem a lot more achievable. Thank you!
That was sick man, I was watching thinking I’d love to learn and by the end I was like there’s no way. Crazy skills you have, I’d love to see a video of someone riding it 🤙
I knew Randy Richenberg when he was a kid...this reminds me of seeing him work in a little shack, next to Dave Nichol's shop...nice video........mid. 70's...NSB, FL
Pretty awesome! Been wanting to see someone make a board without a vacuum and all that jazz.. I'm not certain if the strength is the same. But you seem like you are doing this as a pro and I would take your tech. and use it to make my efoil . Thanks bud!
I watched this video because for a second I thought I would learn to shape since boards are 1000 dollars now. There's no way I could shape a board like that in the next 5 years probably. Sick board.
Awesome skills. I realize the foam shaping is a minimal part of the time consumed, but I would think a hot wire cutter against a template could get you to 90% in seconds.
Thanks for showing how it’s done; I’ve started to get more interested in shaping and this was inspiring. All those tools, wow. Think the logo design needs a little more artistic flair to it, similar to the blocky tanner logo, I’ve always wanted to check one out but some of the design choices are too industrial-like for my tastes.

not even a surfer, but, I was captivated the entire duration of the video while your created/crafted this surfboard
Appreciate the positive feedback
He spent a month after this cleaning the shop.
As someone who is 29 and who has been surfing since the age of 5, this is by far the best most detailed build i’ve seen in a while!

I've always wanted to make my own board, but watching this made me feel like just designing it is enough.
Same here. 😂😂
all you have to do is start :)
c'mon, it's just 12 minutes to make one, don't be lazy
I've made a paddle board before, it's actually quite fast and easy. Takes maybe 5 days after work
@@BFVsnypEz how do you get started making a paddle board? Did someone teach you or did you learn the whole process yourself?

This surfboard looks pretty cool.
The artistry is astounding!!
Alright - color me impressed. I had zero idea so much skill and artistry went into creating a board. I'm in awe. Props.
thanks man, appreciate it!

@@steven-mj1yi Dope. I have these nice wood mounted racks for my twin and quad fish in my living room. It's basically wall art at that point that you can ride!
Shaping a board is a straight craft. Just like woodworking. You’ve got to know what you’re doing. And you’ve got to skills. Awesome video!
Thanks man, agreed!
Whole new levels of respect for board makers!!
I wish I had their attention to detail.....
That much work and skill in making a board of that caliber seems to be worth the price tag.
I m a sculptor and painter and what you're doing is exactly this. Loved watching this- artistry

How long did you spend to shape your own board? How hard was it? I’ve been wanting to forever
My cousin, Midget, was a popular shaper in San Clemente. He made me a beautiful board for the Great Lakes. Watching him work was a great.
Whay a quality, few videos but always awesome
Thanks! 🤙
What does "whay a quality" mean?
@@joeblow1942 what a quality
Одно из самых крутых и информативных видео по DIY доски для сёрфинга!
That was very relaxing to watch on a non windy day, could inspire me to make my own wing foil board.
Favorite part of the video - the 'hold the board under the arm test while walking to the beach' - classic. Nice video. great work
The only board that was ready next week as promised. Nice work.
Nothing like watching an artisan perfect a masterpiece. Thank you:)
I’m not a surfer, but that’s a beautiful looking surf board. What a cool process.
I was soo lucky to do this in my after-school activities ❤
Great video! Never knew how much work went into making one board.
Am I the only one who has watched this numerous times? Somehow it's mesmerising to witness this creation.
🙌
Epic to see what goes into making a board
This was the most amazing surfboard design i have ever seen fits my personality well asf
Man you have one amazing talent the Craftsmanship you put into this gorgeous board. I Skateboard myself and can respect the time put forth into that surf board. Surfing is my next board to learn. Going Skimboarding this week coming up in Santa Cruz CA.
Thanks man! You’ll be hooked
I knew shapers create artistc pieces but a little more geometry than I expected. Impressive, thanks for sharing.
Le travail est tellement appliqué ! C’est impressionant
I don't know how you stand all that foam dust on you all day! Hats off to you.

Thanks. I'm crafting a micro board out of foam core for a friend and needed a guide for proper techniques.
What an ART!
How to shape a surfboard:
Step 1: use a surfboard to trace the shape of a surfboard
Step 2: after the basic shaping - use a surfboard and a wire to trace a shapes of edges
😂🤣 exactly
Step 3: use surfboard to see if measurements are correct

Excellent work! Love your videos. They are so relaxing to chill to and watch your craftsmanship.

Wow incredible craftsmanship! I appreciate hand shaped boards even more now 🙌
Amazing job, my friend. Congrats for your talent and dedication. The board is beautiful, the footage as well. Cheers from Brazil!
obrigado cara!

Whenever I hear you cut with the planer I think of the time when someone commented “woah what material is that” 😂
Haha 🤙
Hahahaha, I'm literally one of them 😂😂
I only Surf the Net but had to subcribe ...its all about Craftmanship👍
Imagine asking someone where he got his board from and he just answers “oh yeah i made it”
🤙
Lol

its a great feeling : )
It's called Flex-seal.

Amazing. I now get it why surf boards are so expensive!
Therapeutic and beautiful. Mahalo for the good vibes 🤙🏾!
this reminds me of surfs up when cody was making his board
I don’t surf because I didn’t grow up by the water. But I love to watch people surf. I wouldn’t mind having a cool surfboard hanging on a wall.
Serviço nota 10 meu amigo. Fantástico!
I’m a wood worker / finish carpenter and this will seriously test my ability’s
groso! Cuando termine la carrera me voy a convertir en shaper
I watched this video because for a second I thought I would learn to shape since boards are 1000 dollars now. There's no way I could shape a board like that in the next 5 years probably. Sick board.
1:48. Whoa, that was the best way I have ever seen to copy the rails! Was that a piece of 12 gauge wire?
Can’t remember what gauge, but standard metal wire from the hardware store
Initially i clicked on this video to test my wifi connection ended up watching it till the end. Cool stuff man!
Awesome!
Awesome skills. I realize the foam shaping is a minimal part of the time consumed, but I would think a hot wire cutter against a template could get you to 90% in seconds.
Maybe, never used one. Handsaw works good for me

I wish have that board.
Wow, I love it. I did not realize what it takes to make one of the things I love.
Great work. 👍

Lol I’m going surfing tomorrow and just happens to see this
It was a joy to watch!! Excellent job! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
