The video is so helpful. But is it better to do a decorative surfboard from wood(pine), mdf or from polystyrene? I want smth light but also durable. And what is the best way to coat the ellipsoid areas? It’s hard to give curves smoothly I guess.
@@janrohrer5903 A old surf shaping legend i worked with for 10 years backmin the 80s terry martin used to make boards out of the yuka tree that grow wild in southern cal. There like balsa kinda. Go harvest a few and see what you can do, terry passed at 74 about 5 years ago. From melenoma.
Most Styrofoam packaging is polystyrene which is what they make most surfboards out of. So, as long as you glue the board correctly together and seal it with some resin it should be good to go. A note though is, you have to be careful painting/glassing poly styrene. Some resin will melt the foam, some paint will melt the foam. So make sure to test your materials on a small piece before just applying it to a whole board.
You're better off just getting a dinged up board from a pawn shop. This not a toy, it's a real surfboard. A lot of labor and supply costs. This is how any regular surfboard is assembled, the only difference is he recycled EPS foam from other surfboard blanks he already had. If he wanted to he could sell them for bookoo bucks.
Here I thought that this guy was just trying to create and find himself a good surfboard. However they're watching the video realize that what he really wants is "a good man that will treat him right and all through the night". Not my cup of tea dude but hey if that's what you're into then do your thing.
I heard you have to use epoxy resin, not polyester resin, or else it will melt polystyrene ,I'm building one now ,but inadvertantly bought polyester resin, but luckily I saw another video saying not to use polyester resin on this ,or it will melt it .

Thanks for the great video, just one question that how you know the rock of the eps before you cut it? Thank you!
Fricken awesome work mate. Envirowarrior🤙
Have you surfed this yet? and how did it go?
well done... what is the glue you have used
Nice video... have you surfed with it yet... Also what thickness did you start with.... You have got a really perfect joint as it is not seen at all
what epoxy did you use ?
Hi nice work but you did only one layer of vtr?
200g mq?
Hi Jan , great video. What glue or adhesive did you use to glue up the styrofoam pieces. Thank you, Steve (68yrs) Manitoba
How did you add the stringer in ? Any advice ?
Hey, love this video! How did you position your foam to make it strong is it like bricks or just stacked on top of each other?
thanks, yes I stacked them like bricks
@@janrohrer5903 what did you put on the board?
@@zackeryhanley1097 a few layers of fiberglass and on top of that layers of clear epoxy resin

Good work
Very nice everything is ok. But I didn't understand the sizes. Can you share the sizes with me
Muy buen vídeo
Hi ,thanks for the great lesson ,where do you buy the styro foam?
drive by your local industrial area, some shops have huge amounts of styrofoam left over from the products they get shipped.
Nowhere! It‘s recycled ;)
Can we use thermocol instead of foam
Was it heavy the blank
Also what glue did you use to glue the foam together?
Special styrofoam glue from the hardwear store
Really nice video. Would be nice to see some footage of you surfing this beauty. Do you live in Germany?
Danke. Nein ich komme aus der Schweiz und ich habe leider keine videos vom surfen
Oo ok. Thnx for youre answer
Super rad! Want to do this but not sure if styrofoam is strong enough to hold up, have you surfed it yet?

Love it, I am going to do it.
how did you make / what did you use for the stringer?
Hey, I used an old piece of plywood from a shelf
@@janrohrer5903 we have cnc surfboard shaping machine ,maybe help you impove efficent:czcams.com/video/pAd8GTGXKOQ/video.html
Interesting, wow, that's so nice
any chance you could link the word doc to the peices of paper where you lined them up t make the shape ?
I‘m sorry to disappoint you but it was such a long time ago that i dont have the files on my computer anymore:(
you should do a vid making and attaching the stringer.....great vid though man!
I have a few.
what’s the line down the middle? i want to make my own board but i keep seeing the line down the middle and i’m just wondering what it is, is it wood?
Yes, it’s a stringer.
Moving to peurto rico and going to rent surf board and figured could make them like this
Hey you did alright but with the fiberglass you need to snip it and tuck it with your squeegee
How does it ride?
Wow so amazing🥰, how did you make the paper that has the size of a surfboard?
I'm from Philippines 🤙🏻🏄🏾
Nooooticeeee
I dont have a fiberglass cloth can I replace it with something else available in any house
That can be easily bought online.
May I have the printable template? Thanks
How much would it cost me to get one of these from you? My 8yr old loves it for his room display

@@notcosmiclobsternoooo118 thanks for the info very much appreciated
Did you use polyester resin? Does it melt the foam at all?
No! You have to use epoxy resin!
@@janrohrer5903 ok what brand of resin did you use to avoid destroying the foam?
@@liamstone3437 it was 3 years ago, i dont know anymore, sorry
Can you post template of surfboard
Good job next time can u name material
Siiick!
Here I thought that this guy was just trying to create and find himself a good surfboard.

I heard you have to use epoxy resin, not polyester resin, or else it will melt polystyrene ,I'm building one now ,but inadvertantly bought polyester resin, but luckily I saw another video saying not to use polyester resin on this ,or it will melt it .
