- This antique, hand shaped Hap Jacobs surfboard is still available to purchase! I will update the description when it sells. In this video we finish the restoration we started and take this old girl out for a few friendly little waves! I was surprised at how easy it was to ride. This was my fist time surfing a board that has a "D" fin so I didn't know what to expect. I found that it was relatively stable and not that much harder to turn than a regular single fin. I will say- I was surfing pretty conservatively. The last thing I wanted to do was put a new ding in this beautiful old board!

Always a pleasure to see someone really working hard and showing his fails. That is why you are a great one. Very nice work.
Isn’t it incredible that as you’ve progressed, you’ve become better at showing the fails. That really makes me appreciate all the effort you’ve put it.
Really enjoyed the vids w/- this board, and so great to see it in action after the resto. Best surfboard repair channel I’ve seen. Great stuff!
When automotive paint guys have to colour match on a car, they get the colour as close as humanly possible, then they blend (fade) that colour into the surrounding paintwork over a large area. They do it because it's impossible to get a perfect match, even when they buy the same colour from the manufacturer. And that's because paint fades in the elements over time. Look into paint matching on cars. There's plenty of video on YT covering it. I've found the automotive paint industry very useful when doing colour/paint work on my surfboards.
Thank you!
So awesome. Jacob boards were born in the South Bay back in the classic era of the 60s. Great to see this long board brought back to life…. In the South Bay!
Nice work. Good to see the perseverance paid off!! Time to get the little Honda running now!!
Damn good…..!
Very nice! Gave it a new live! On those old boards if you fell and couldn't grab it they would flip over and go all the way to the rocks just like you said. It almost seemed like they were designed to do that LOL. For me, thank goodness for leashes - I don't miss those long swims and often the resulting ding repairs.
You keep getting better and better, keep going!
It's a beauty! Congrats; great work!

Gotta learn this one. Thanks, dude!
Nice job and a very fair price too!
Great job!
beautiful work
amazing work
Nice work
I love your work. Just a question though. Do you sand over the acrylic paint that you have sprayed in order to create good adhesion for the resin coat?
OR you could paint ON TOP of the resin and Gloss / Clear to seal it all in. Resin on top of paint will always change its colour. Then the HALO D fin……… tricky stuff young Bro!
Water based Acrylics?

Yeeeew
welcome back 😅
Thanks amigo. Another one on the way
Absolutely gorgeous. Is it still available? Texas brother wants to buy So-Cal brother a birthday gift. We're South Africans and it's his 55th.
Yes! Give me a ring or shoot me a text (310) 753 5664
Can you still buy Reichhold glossing resin in Ca? Has the EPA stopped that one as well? So glad I left So. Cal at the end of the 80’s for a more tolerant board building Country.
Nope never heard of that resin. What country do you like in now?

Back when "fins" were called skegs.
