I’m not a surfer (though I still wanna be, even in my 60’s), but I appreciate older, well made things that haven’t been resto’d to look new. I agree with your ethos and approach to your work. The patina that accumulates tells a story and you’ve preserved it and the beauty of this old board, even though it doesn’t perform comparatively to today’s boards.
Thanks for sharing and demonstrating your skills and artistry.
Appreciate the comment! Never to late to get out there. If those big 10 foot old boards are good for anything, they are definitely good boards to learn to surf on!
@@smallkinedings IF it doesn’t yank one’s leg off! ;)
@@206coconutz haha, yea there's that!! 😂
This was way better than the baywatch board by a long shot! Awesome restoration. Merry christmas bro!
Happy holidays to you Russel, appreciate the support this year! 🤙
This was way better than the Baywatch video… And I honestly watched the Baywatch video sometime ago :-). Beautiful work!!
You sir, have impeccable taste 😉
This was way better than the Baywatch video and the Baywatch video was good.
You sir, have impeccable taste!
So im new to the channel, and definitely dont know anything about this board or all too much about building boards (granted i do have experience with fiberglass and other composites)
However I reckon you may be spot on about chickens pecking at it damaging the foam core, used to have a few sheet of various kinds of foam at the shop i worked at and had em leaning up against the garage. Ran some errands with my boss for a few hours and when we got back his 60 or so hens had pecked damn near half a sheet of EPS clean.
Chickens friggin love eating foam for some reason, like they crave it. Craziest thing I've ever seen in my life lol.
Chicken foam tangent aside, i really did like the voice over with the timelapse of the video and the actual deep dive into the boards history. Really like this form of presentation.
Hey man, welcome!!
Haha, theres a shaper in Maui, Hawaii named Matt Kazuma and he is constantly chasing chickens out of the back room of his factory who are always trying to eat is EPS blanks! 😂😂 Dude needs better security!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome job!
Chur brother!
Well done!
Mahalos!
Reminds me of that rogue wave video on the baywatch boards! an interesting piece of history to be sure but this video is far superior
Ooo yea, I never noticed but they are kinda similar! 🤙 🤙
This was way better than the baywatch b video.. big ups
You legend 🤙
Baywatch looked like someone experimenting on how to repair a board. Not what I’d expect for a 1 million dollar board.
Haha, bit of a thriller! He got there in the end though, props to him!
Not a Hasslehoff fan. Merry Christmas brother!🏄🏻♂️🤙🏼
😂 and a happy new year to you!
Love the vidoes man- would love a how to fix a foamie, punctured the bottom of mine when I launched it at a mate and the nose of his board went through 😂
Ooo, that's a can of worms! Foamies are a pain in the landfill. They cant be fixed to any real quality standard and are destined for the trash heap from the day they are built. I hate the bloody things 😂
That said, I've had some luck with "flex paste". It won't be a pretty repair, but the stuff is exactly what they advertise and o boy, do they know how to sell shit! Look um up on CZcams!
THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE BAYWATCH VIDEO! We missed you this Christmas! Apparently you would have been in your editing studio anyhow. Maria great filming. My favourite board yet. It looks so classic
We missed you guys too! Gotta sort the time differences out and get on a call together! Maria wishes she could film like this 😂
This is way better then the Baywatch board video.
Dam right! 😂
This is way better
Merry Christmas, Mate 🍻
You too Andy! 🍻
Way better than the bay watch video😊

Unreal man, very much appreciated and my pleasure. Eventually when I have more subscribers and comments than Mr. Beast I'll probably need to do something like that!
I really respect your work ethic when it comes to the care and time you put into these repairs.
Appreciate it very much!
This is way better than the Baywatch board 😅
Everyone keeps saying that, it's not a competition guys... geeze 😏

The bay watch video definitely wasn’t terrible but I enjoy and trust your channel much more. Thanks for another one! 🤙🏽
No, it’s definitely a fun video and he got to a result in the end!
Better than the bay watch video. Learn a lot with each of your videos.
Appreciate it, so glad they are useful!
Awesome job. Love how you kept it looking old/ new and not brand new. So much better than the baywatch boards. Great video as usual. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Cheers for your videos.
Many thanks, very happy with the balance between old and new! You too, all the best for 2024
This was WAAAAY better than the Baywatch board! Great work!
Legend, many thanks. Glad you enjoyed 🤙
I have a Wayne Parks lightning bolt. It has his dolphin image in the bolt, apart from that there is no serial number on it at all. I was told by a serious NZ collector that Wayne didn't put serial numbers on his.
Plus he also had a couple of shapers who worked for him.
I also have another parks board with no serial number.
Very interesting! I wonder if it depended on the era of board? He was pretty adamant that there would/should be a number if it was his. I've got a couple of Parkes boads and they've all got numbers on them, I'll ask him what the deal is next time I bump into him! Not sure Wayne ever had ghost shapers either, just his glasser as far as I was aware? Such a rich history though, I'm sure I could be wrong about that!
Very cool that you've got a bolt of his! Hang onto that thing!
@@smallkinedings mate your talking to him. I'd say your way closer to the truth. I'm just getting my info second hand.
Way better than baywatch!
I dunno why people keep comparing videos, it's not a competition 🤔 😉
Way better than Baywatch board.
Fantastic work..
🤙
Mahalos, thanks for watching!
Yep this way better than the Baywatch board.Epic Resto.your rattle can paint job is 100 percent.tip with centre pin strip black poster paint applied with plastic squeege
That's not a bad shout on the squeegee and poster paint. Might give that a run!
This was way better than the Baywatch boards
Whoah, that’s pretty harsh 😛
Way better than Baywatch resto. Happy Christmas and appreciate the passion.
Aww shux, a happy Christmas to you too!
Awesome work . Pamela Anderson just lives up island from me . I look for her when I get gas in her town . I need a rich sugar mama to finance my surf adventures
Let me know if you make contact with her, I got one small kine investment opportunity for her!
this was way better than the Baywatch boards video. amazing talent and super great at explaining everything!!. merry Christmas dude!!
Flatteru will get you everywhere! A happy new year to you!
Watched the hole thing, it was way better then the bay watch video... let us know how the client reacts to its restoration 🤙🏾
He was frothing, so stoked which put a smile on my dial. He brought another one in an hour later. A Graham Allen super sessions of a similar Era. Apparently he bought them both for a 24 box of bourbon 😂 it's in better knick than the bolt was thank God and has a beauty of a fin on it!
This way better than Baywatch board😂
It's not a competition mate! Many thanks 🙏
Way better than the Baywatch Boards.
Really a cool process to watch!
You da man! Appreciate it very much!
Full on. Way better than the baywatch board.

Definitely check um! Thanks for watching!

Better than the Baywatch board. Fun video
Happy holidays mate!

Rough, it's not a competition 😂 🤙
This was way better than the baywatch video, just wish you had put glitter in the pinstripe!
Haha, I don't go within 7 kilometers of glitter!
Oh and this is way better than the bay watch boards.
Rough, it's not a competition mate 😉

Hey bro- what’s your thoughts on resin leash loops instead of leash plugs?
Loops are really strong and to me, aesthetically mo betta. There's a few different ways to make them but they all all tough as nails
This was WAY better than the Bay watch video 😂
You know it! 😁
Baywatch board was bettee
It's not a competition mate 😂 apples to oranges
I miss Pamela running down the beach 😂😂
Don't we all!!
This is way better than Baywatch... 😊
You legend 🤙
Way better than the Baywatch video 🤙
Trooper, cheers for watching!
This was way better than the baywatch board by a long shot
Mahalo 🤙
Great work. Do you have any problems glassing over spray paint on glass like you did? How well does the glass stick?
Cheers! All of the sanding pre painting was done in 80 grit and the paint was put on pretty thin as to not fill all of the scratches. Pretty confident in the adhesion and haven't had any issues with this technique yet 🤞
I recently did a spray for a nose job. I was worried the glass would not stick and it was not resin tintable so I painted afterwards with a clear coat. I am going to try your way next time. Thank you again. @@smallkinedings
Yeah bro think u r rite about this board made in Australia by a Ramdpm shaper single fin.Merry Xmas
Way better than the Baywatch restoration. You kept some of the old marks to show that it's an original, yet still looks new to the naked eye.
Also the Baywatch ones, he would have been better to make a replica and keep the original ones destroyed, useless to remove all the wisdom of them.
Just a question, that extra cloth, did it make it too heavy? Original glassing looked solid already.
After adding the expansive foam what did you put on top of it? Was it resin with aerosol as a sealer or something?
The foam is skimmed with a resin and micro balloon mix, just to fill any pin holes and help correct the shape if needed
Way better than Baywatch ta
Just a question re sealing paint in:
Would you recommend always glassing over big jobs like this if weight isn't an issue? or if board is already structurally sound is just a hot coat/gloss resin coat suffice - maybe even a non-water based spray can clear coat? I'm unsure what mating issues might come up with with this molotow stuff. Cheers!
Hey hey!
So very job dependant but with large paint jobs like this I try to always have cloth over the paint. The problem with paint under only resin is that theres a good chance of sanding through that resin coat in an area or 2, 3, 4 or 5 which will damage your paint work. The exception to this would be something like pin stripes where you can sand very carefully and slowly but cloth over paint is always the preference if possible.
If I can't get cloth over my paint it's usually because the board is epoxy and I try not to paint beneath epoxy. In that case, clear coat is the answer like you suggested. MOLOTOW do a good gloss clear and Matt clear as well.
I've never had any kind of bonding or other issues with MOLOTOW. I swear by the stuff.
great info thanks mate!@@smallkinedings
better than baywatch !! I'm about to start a renovation for a mate and this is super helpful. Question, did the board get much heavier as a result of the extra glassing you did? I was tempted with my mates board to skin it and reglass from the start but you lose those essential character pieces like logos etc that you have kept in this. I def prefer your way as long as it's still rideable at the end! Thanks and love your channel 🤙
This one dis gain some weight. Because of the condition of the glass and the foam I decided to laminate it with 4oz cloth as it really needed the extra reinforcement. Usually though for a job like this, I would use 2oz cloth and that doesn't add a noticeable amount of weight. If your boards in good knick in the big scheme of things (not totally rotten) then I reccomend 2oz highly
@@smallkinedings thanks mate much appreciated! Keep up the great work, love the channel
Thanks for the feedback!! I have a different question for ya- about colour matching... I'm about to start a reno for a mate and I am gonna go with molotow spray like you said previously but I dunno how to know which colour I should be choosing... Any advice much appreciated!!
@@suzukiton they have a colour book which is what I use. If it's a tough call between two colours I'll just order both but the book is pretty good!
I’m not sure if this is way better than the Baywatch board repairs…
It's not a competition, people are always trying to compare us. I dunno where it comes from 😂
Way better baywatch
Sick
Legend, appreciate it 🤙
Im wearing a Pamela tshirt at the moment and it smells as bad as that baywatch board video.
Couldn't smell anything over all the blue cheese!
I watched the whole video…. The Baywatch boards stressed me out
You trooper, appreciate it! Me too haha but he got there in the end and it made for an exciting watch!
Nice work. Just my opinion here. What is and what is not a "real" Lightning Bolt. When you get past the early Bolt shapers they become less and less a real Lightning Bolt. A "Bolt" shaped at the Hobie factory by Terry Martin (who was a great and historic shaper) is not as true a Bolt as those made by the original Hawaiian shapers. When they got licensed out all over the world it became even less authentic. The real collectable Bolts were done by these guys. Again just my opinion. Others may disagree and I understand. These were the real Bolt shapers. Unit 1: Gerry Lopez, Reno Abellira, Barry Kanaiaupuni, Tom Parrish, Jeff Hakman, Owl Chapman, Don Koplein Price: $190.
Unit 2: Rory Russel, Brian Hamilton, Tom Eberly, Peter Trombly, Wayne Santos, Robbie Burns, Cowan Chang, Bill Barnfield, Mark Angel Price: $175
Unit 3: Steve Walden, Russel Kim, Tom Nellis, Brian Hinde, Joe Blair, Bill Stonebraker, Tony Anjo, John Carper, Price $160
Good question!
Now days, to me the lightning bolt is a little bit like skateboarding. I get the same icky feeling when I see a company/brand try to use skateboarding in their advertisements or brand images when they have nothing to do with skateboarding. When I see brand new boards now days with lightning bolts on them to me it just feels like an attempt at a cash grab. It would be different if it was a replication of an old board template. A recreation and a throw back to an old pin tailed Lopez, then I get it. I get so many unrelated new boards with bolts on them in for repair now days, EPS/epoxy fish, mini mals, twin fins that have nothing to do with what lightning bolt once was.
Back in the day, there was a license to produce lightning bolts. Here in NZ only Knackers and Wayne Parkes held that license (Wayne still technically has it). Wayne also holds the Atlas license too and still produces Atlas logs and on the same token it would be ick if I branded a board of mine with the atlas logo.
The shapers you’ve listed are the bees knees for sure, especially unit 1. Collectibility wise, those are the signatures you’re looking for! By the end of lightning bolt there were licenses to produce all over the world and that’s probably one of the many things that lead to their eventual downfall.
u can have that bolt, one of the most boring graphics, people wear that sh!t here in Venice like it’s going out of style & it is. if u r into generics. Who came up with it, who keeps it current?
Ooo, thems fighting words. A logo from the early 70s that changed surfing, surfers, surf culture and surfboard manufacturing. The lightning bolt is a visual representation of a breakthrough in surfing, what was possible to make, what was possible to surf, both waves and surfboards. The simplest of designs that embodies some of the world's greatest shapers and thinkers, surfers and locations ever known. A representation of a simpler time, a time of discovery and break throughs, a time that still dictates surfboard and surfers style and design to this day. Arguably the most sought after boards, even in 2024, the logo doesn't need to be high rez, high tech, complicated or artsy because what it represents is all those things and more. In that way, the simplest logo is the best logo. No other logo brings up so much history from almost every continent in the world with a single glance and no logo within surfing probably ever will.
@@smallkinedings however that may be, the problem with this logo & that’s what it is, isn’t because it is so simple, it’s totally unoriginal, did Gerry Lopez aka style defined like lightning bolts especially?
It demonstrates a lack of thought.
Idk if the examples I see regularly are leftovers from the shop here in Venice or if it’s a new batch of fools in awe of banality. People will tell you the LA Dodgers logo is great.
No one owns surfing. A lot of times certain select people get credit for things.
My idea of surfing, growing up land locked were surf t shirts available at the mall, gotcha etc were totally mainstream in late 80s. Derek Ho & Tom Carroll. Mostly Derek has been my idea, him on an Island Classics board. He was still riding that handmade board up until the end at 55. I have seen posts of people shit talking island classics boards for being out of date design & they had a laminated nose guard.
There’s personal footage of Derek riding Pipeline for fun. His take off, he brought that to surfing. Top in my world & the ic image are surfing to me. Not selling it.
Amazing Job!! Thanks for all you videos, cheers 🍻.

Thanks for watching! Cya in 2024
This was way better than the Baywatch boards video... I guess.
Gonna watch that video now 😁
Haha, enjoy it. It's a good video and definitely some interesting boards!
