- Shaping a longboard from start to finish. Surfboard dimensions are 9’2” x 22.75 X 3”. Rails are 60/40 in the middle and 50/50 at the nose and tail. I added a concave teardrop blended into the nose and a vee off the tail.

You have crazy patience & skill
Well done Tanner!! Congratulations !!
🙏
Tanner, your videos are immensely satisfying to watch! thank you! They make me want to buy all the right tools and shape a few... I made about six or so, waaay back in 1970-71 just after I got married... got myself in serious trouble with the in-laws, when I sanded the first creation right next to their open washing machine!! mass itchies for the family...☹️
Tools were primitive... one surform rasp, no disposable gloves, no accurate mix for catalyst... (first board never totally went hard on the deck..)
Thank God for youtube!... wish we'd had it back then, to avoid stress.. but would I do it all again?? heck, yeah!!
Glad to bring back some memories! Sounds like its time to get your hands back on some foam!
Your use of the Jazz track blew me away, it is apparent you have thought about what you are doing, superior mindfulness.
Looking forward to you shaping the blank and getting some glass laid down you have a gift my man
Thanks man! 🙏
Watching form the U.K. I also can`t wait to see the glassing and fin box fitment.
Right on man, those will be coming! 🇬🇧
Great content! I wish i had a garage to start messing around with surfboard shaping while still under lockdown! Keep the great work. Really inspiring!
Appreciate the feedback man 🤙
Really great videos and content. I’ve picked up so many tips from this channel. Got a lot of tips on the whole process when I was working on my first board and am really happy with how it turned out. I’m now starting a long board and again got many ideas watching this video. I like the technique on spooning the nose and how you put the rocker on the tail and nose with the planer, definitely will try that way. You made using the planer on the rails look way easy, I might try that. Another great board, look forward to seeing it glassed.
Thanks for the feedback and glad it’s helping! Good luck with your next board 🤙
A tear came to my eye🤙
Can’t wait for this to be glassed. Looking forward to the next vids.
About to start working on it!
Congratulations!!! Just beautiful, my friend. Watching from Portugal and i also can´t wait to see next video.
Thanks man! 🇵🇹
Awesome job mate, great video can’t wait to see the glassing 🤙
Thanks, same!
Awesome video Man, I shaped and glassed a couple of 5'6" and a 5'10" boards years ago back in the days of single and twin fins and would love to get back into it. Inspiration sometimes drives us forward an you just gave me a whole lot of inspiration. Now I've subscribed to your channel and will be inspired even more, of that I'm sure. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺
it looks perfect!!
Thanks man! 🙏
congratulations, beautiful work.
🙏
love the music!
Amazing job!!!! Congratulations
🙏
that concave teardrop was beautiful 👌
🤙
Looks great !!! Blessings from Germany my friend
Thanks man! 🇩🇪
I love these videos :)
Great working. Ur amazing shaper man.
🙏
Nice work as per you're usual , good on you
Thanks man!
Hey Tanner, Fantastic Video. Youve given us the confidence to make 2 boards for our college course here in the UK. We introduce students to surfing but feel the programme would be even better if we shaped and made some boards. Thank you for the effort to post your videos. ITS APPRECIATED. Adam UK
Thanks man that’s awesome to hear! Hope it goes well and best of luck!
Wow! So cool to watch you shape the rail and tail! Now i want a board shaped by you haha! Great video keep it up! 😁🤙🏼
Thank you!
Yeah great video again!!!
🙏
Probably watched this about four times. Look fwd to next video.
Awesome! Shortboard video was posted a week ago and FCS 2 fin install video coming this Friday.
Make a start-to-finish tutorial!
Awesome video! Keep us updated on the glassing for that one!
Thanks man, You got it!
Stumble across your videos the other day and I'm hooked. Good stuff! When I finally shape my first board I'm sure I'll have questions for ya!
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Amazing job man
Thanks!
Shape nave..Belo trampo classe A mermão...✌🇧🇷🏄♂️💥
Channel is worthy of a subscription hooting grass roots vid
Very good video
I love your video cuz U don't speck a lot you just time laps and I enjoy watching your video ❤ good luck
Thanks, appreciate the feedback! Talking is my least favorite part 😂
I was waiting for this 😁
Yew!
The hole-punch trick in the template print out is so good. Consider doing a short/IG on it. I haven't seen that anywhere else.I watch like 10 of these type of videos before every time I do a board (a few/year).
Thanks for the feedback
Hey man...this was different..the process was cool
Appreciate it!
your videos are insane man :)
Thanks man 🙌
Lotta ways to thin nose out on deck n tail. Planer w depth adjust to contour cuts, then a sander you can also take foam off behind the nose. I've even seen people sureform it down then sand. Lotta ways to do it. Good shaping 👍
Nice one 💯💯🌹
Nice log - get that EPS going!
Yew!
I have a similar setup, but more permanent, with pvc pipe starting from the ceiling above the board, and the flex hose clamped to the pvc. It helps to bungee the power cord up with the flex hose, so you don’t have to hold it out of the way, and then you can switch sides when planing without tangling the cord up on the racks. I’ve ran over my power cord with the planer, once. Lol. :)
I like your PVC idea. Might have to implement it someday when I’m not in a curved green house
great music
🤙
Thats rad! Can you make a video on glassing this board? Id love to see how it turns out
Planning on it!
Great video, I love your stuff!
Have you ever wondered how much ground you cover when you make a board? I would be fun to wear something to measure it so you could say this was a 2 mile board😊🤙...
Never thought about that man! Lots of dust for sure 🤙
Great video to watch while on the phone with my girl😂👍🤙
Awesome!
takes a lot of talent to use a paper template. personally I could probably make a spin template out of 1/8 ply faster and better with the ability to adjust on the fly
I hear ya man. I use both 🤙
Olá. Isso é a arte de fazer pranchas. Ficou muito bonito. Valeu oelo vídeo. Até!
Obrigado por assistir cara! 🇧🇷
Love from india ❤🌹
Thanks. TB. For the Video on shaping the Long Board, any photos on the Finish Longboard. Any chance see you surfing 🏄♂ ? Please have a Great New Year and hope you be Safe.
Yes I've got videos glassing this board with a resin swirl you can checkout on my channel. Unfortunately I don't have any full videos surfing it other than a quick clip on my youtube home page channel preview. Thanks!
Muito bom irmão, mais um projeto top
Obrigado meu amigo! 🤙🇧🇷
Ciao, un saluto dall'italia! Ottimo lavoro, sei un artista! Volevo chiederti: a cosa serve creare una zona " concave " sulla parte del nose ? Vero good job !
Could you do another longboard shaping video with what you learned since this one?
Muito maneiro meu amigo!!! Vou querer uma dessa hein!!! Parabéns pelo canal só vídeo legal!!!!
Obrigado cara! Que pena que não estamos mais perto de ter uma sessão juntos. Eu deveria fazer um vídeo em Portuguese!
@@BendheimBoards é uma pena mesmo... Seria muito legal estarmos juntos em uma sessão!! Mas isso ainda pode acontecer! 😉🤙🏻
Sim um vídeo em português seria mto legal!!! Pode pensar em fazer o vídeo bilíngue... Ia ficar muito maneiro!!!
Um dia cara, vamos surfar! Vou pensar sobre o vídeo bilíngue, Tenho que praticar meu português!
@@BendheimBoards vamos sim irmão!!! Será épico!!!
Vc consegue!!! Seu português é mto bom!
I had to mute it when you were cutting/sanding the side of the foam, it gave me chills 😅
Yew!
I'm Shaper in Portugal, and in my opinion you left the tail and nose with quite thick. You should have seen a longboard already done. Normally leave the tail and nose between 1/4 or 3/4 inch
What’s up man! Thanks for the feedback, I actually agree and want to foil the nose and tail thinner next go around. Still honing in my skills 🤙 🇵🇹
Amazing, love what you’re doing. Inspired me to shape my first board... what would you suggest to start with, retro fish or longboard? Could you give more info about the rocker and the thickness along the board 12’’ from tail and nose.
Thanks
Thanks, I’d go smaller with a fish. Longboards are a lot more foam to shape and glass.
Love the videos you put out. I recently started peeling old surfboards that are dead pretty much and wanted to give them the same shaped they had back than. Havetn actually tried yet. i order the PRO TOOL PACK to practice. Any tips? i dont have a planer figured id do it by hand. Any tips? or other materials to get.
Thanks! I’d suggest shaping a smaller board from the original shape since you’ll probably end up ripping off some foam when you peel off the old fiberglass and you’ll want to sand off the outer layers. So a smaller shape will give you room for that. Doing your first board by hand is a good idea since it leaves you less room for error. Read through the instructions on shaping a board on Greenlight surf supply’s website before you start and that will help as well. Best of luck!
wow, a lot of work. can you do how many a day?
can you link or send the paper outline you used? This video was super helpful huge thanks from Delaware!
Really enjoying your videos! Thanks! Do you feel you’ve reached the point with your shaping skills where you can ride your own boards without limiting your surfing progression? I love the idea of making my own boards, but not sure how many I’d have to make before I’d feel confident that my self-shapes weren’t limiting me in the water. Thanks again for the videos!
Good question. I’ve always loved riding the boards I shape more than the boards I purchase. It’s the feeling of riding something you’ve put time and effort into making. Even if some aren’t as dialed in, I’ve never felt like it hinders my progression or enjoyment. Just gives an opportunity to figure it out and how it rides. Having lots of choices in the boards I ride and mixing it up also keeps me interested instead of surfing a thruster every session. Just my two cents 🤙
I agree with Tanner, I learned to surf on self shapes and made my own snowboards. The stoke is worth the imperfections. For me I found there is a skill level you reach where you can quickly adapt to ride pretty much any board. However when you start to reach that level its when you really start to notice the little things in a board. My first couple snowboards came out really rough but I could ride them as well as anything else. As I dialed in the small details I could ride my newer boards better but I could do certain things easier. For surfing I have found it similar only its a bit more picking the right board for the conditions of the waves. I look at the first surfboard I shaped now and I did so many things I wouldn't do again. But when I surf it every now and then its still super fun even though it was rough hahaha.
Well said Matt. Now I need to learn how to make a snowboard.
I'm from Iraq❤🇮🇶
Nicely done. But also, dope soundtrack. Reminds me of music from The Price is Right (in a good way)
Haha glad to hear it
awesome video, you've inspired me to start shaping. Im just wondering if you could give some info on how you measured the tail rocker and where you decided to stop, if that makes sense. thanks very much!
Awesome! I usually take measurements of other boards that work to determine what rocker I want to use.
@@BendheimBoards what is the thickness of the tail on this board?
About 1 5/8” a foot from the tail
Board is looking awesome! Are you going to give it a resin swirl or a colour?
Thanks Matt! Yeah planning on a epoxy resin swirl on the bottom and undecided on the deck still. Might leave it white or do another swirl. I’ll probably decide once I see how the bottom comes out.
I'd like to know where i can get a curved tent like you have for shaping, its super cool
Thank you
Watch my shaping bay tour video
I am currently working on that exact same board with the same template. Copying what you are doing.
Where did you get the stretchy vacuum tube piece that connects to the planer? Ive been struggling to find one like you have. Cheers!
Shaper supply
Can epoxy resin be used on polyurethane foam blank?
What's the band of the tool you using ti Mark the Lines?
You're awesome!!
Thanks! Yes I used epoxy resin on this PU longboard. Rail band marker from Foam EZ.
next time put reggae music over the vid. Really love your vids man. I always look forward to them.
Thanks man, I’ll think about it 🇯🇲
No please, love the jazz
Norwegian black metal please.
I have a difficult time keeping the stringer down in the nose. I tried a spoke shave but it just made the wood chip. Are you just using a small sanding block?
Spoke shave and sanding block. Try pulling the opposite direction if it’s getting hung up on the stinger.
excellent video man! Did you use a blendingcurve's template?
Yes, love their templates
Thanks for the great video. Few questions on the nose concave/teardrop: how far are you from the fuck/rail? What's the depth from the center of the teardrop? And how do you know how big to make it?
All of these are up to you. Mine was a few inches off the rail and about the first 1/3rd of the board. Depth can be 1/8” to 1/4” deep
@@BendheimBoards copy. thank you for responding and the information!
Wow! Amazing shaping of this longboard!!! What is the functionality of this teardrop concave?
Helps keep you perched for nose riding 🤙
@@BendheimBoards Amazing! Thank you so much. 🤙🏼
What measurements did you use for rail band marking? They are so round - mine seem to get more pinched
I did 60/40 rails in the middle and 50/50 rails at the nose and tail. Greenlight has rail band measurements on their website that might help you.
Hola qué hermosa una pregunta. Como saco el molde de una tabla así en hojas hay algún programa. Me. Ayudas con eso. Que. Quiero hacer mi propia tabla en qué programa se. Pueden hacer. Para sacar las hojas. Así. Como lo estás haciendo gracias. Saludos. Desde Ecuador
Hello.
I will have a question that bothers me about rail.
How do you do for the tracers, what are the measures that you use?
Thank you again for this video sharing, look forward to seeing the rest
A good reference is Greenlight surf supply. Their website has shaping instructions with details on railband measurements. They walk you through it all 🤙
Thank you for this information, look forward to seeing the rest of your videos
Show!
Show de bola! 😉🇧🇷
@@BendheimBoards hahahaha!
What program are you using that you can have your printed outline pages numbered?
Blendingcurves and greenlightsurfsupply both have printable templates
I used to surf in the sixties. How do todays board builders determine the size (length, width, rocker, shape) of a long board - for a surfer of a given weight - in order to have a board that rides well and paddles easily?
Fantastic work !ay ask you what Kind of rail template you are using Here? More eggy or more knifey? I am working on May First board right now , and thanks to you It actually worked out . Grazie !
Thanks! 60/40 rails in the middle and 50/50 at the nose and tail
@@BendheimBoards Thanks ! Have you ever thought about making a woodwrapped longboard?
@@aleksardah9532 No I've never made one
Hi Tanner, how did you choose the dimensions of your longboard in relation to your height/weight etc is there a ready available chart on the net and without being personal what is your height/weight so this may help me judge the dimensions of a board I am going to have an attempt at shaping.
I’m 170 5’9”. I use a lot of different board sizes depending on what waves I’m surfing or just what I feel like riding.
What is the tool that you use for creating the lines for the rails?
Rail marker from foam ez
Bro! I got a 9' blank from the fam ... Uh, I mean 'Santa' ... for Christmas. Psyched. Hoping to shape at least an 8'10" for the Pipes break here in No Cal San Diego. Any tips for a template? I plan to follow your vid tutorial from start to finish.
Blendingcurves.com has some awesome free templates you can check out. Best of luck!
@@BendheimBoards sweet - thx!
Hey I’m wanting to make my own board from start to finish, and don’t know what supplies to get. Can you comment the necessary supplies to do your first board?
Go on greenlight surf supply's website and they provide a list.
Looks like you’ve been working out. Looking buff
It’s a tight fitting shirt 💪
Just found this video, for some reason CZcams thought I needed to learn about surfboards...LOL 😂. Have to admit I couldn’t stop watching...great work! Do you ever take them out surfing 🏄 once you finish them?
Thanks man! Take them out ever time, it’s the most gratifying part 🤙
What type of surfboard you recommend to shape first?
Egg or mid length
Hello champion, where can I buy a cylindrical tent like yours?, Thanks
Amazon, watch my shaping bay video
may i ask where did you get the template from as i am having a bit of bother finding one on the net. but I am new to all this.
blendingcurves.com
@@BendheimBoards thank you sir
Awesome vid
Were you wearing sb dunks
Nice catch, they are Nike, but not sure if they are the dunks. They are my shaping/glassing shoes and they are well over 15 years old!
If they are dunks there going for a lot right now and there going to keep going up
are going to do a video with finishing the board?
Yes it’ll be in the works
What’s the theory behind having your planer sideways rather than having it plane nose to tail straight
Just part of the technique to follow the surface and curves of the board.
How much foam did you take out in the concave?
Little less than a quarter inch
Do you have the name of the green enclosure product you are using? I'm only allowed a partime outdoor shaping room by my wife. This could work.
Just watched the entire episode on Greenhouse! That rocks.🤙
I put links in the shaping bay video description for the greenhouse. Hope that helps man and good luck!
were can i find these printed templates???
That was smooth man! How many boards have you shaped approximately?
Thanks man! This is board 6. I’ve also made 3 handplanes and lots of ding repairs.
@@BendheimBoards that's inspiring as I'm going to start shaping my very first one, hope it floats! 😂
Awesome man, best of luck!
The video on how to make a surf papa is great, seniors, can this method be used to make a motorized paddle board, seniors
This will translate to a paddle board or SUP, but I can't speak for the motorized part.
@@BendheimBoards thank you senior for the information I want to learn it to be able to transform to a printed rowing board but the information on many youtubes I don't understand because it looks simple, it looks like a lot of promo videos for motorized rowing boards
What kind of foam do u put on your board stands
Memory foam
What all do you need for shaping
You can find this info on greenlight surf supply’s website
