Building an eps-epoxy BOOGIE BOARD / from START to FINISH /

- Don't worry.. No real surfboard blanks were harmed in making this video.
My EPS blanks are delivered within a safety shell of EPS foam and rather than throw it in the bin I decided to do what any self respecting surf board shaper would do and built a body board.
I have no real knowledge when it comes to these water craft other than several derogatory names for them... so armed with that knowledge I set out on an inward journey of self discovery/loathing.
Now before I receive any hate mail from the many speed bumps that undoubtedly follow me, I would like to say that I highly respect body boarding as a sport. I truly do believe body boarders are some of the most progressive guys out there. I would be first guy in the water on a 43incher except my chicken calfs can't look at a flipper without cramping. So I stick to standing up and doing nothing.
Also please try and watch video with sound... otherwise it might just be weird.
Hope you all enjoy the video

We need a video using the board, looks amazing, great job!!
Thanks man 🤙
this is Rad!
Love to see the your talent at work
with different mediums / shapes!
That third surf clip is way too relatable....
Thanks man. Haha yeh unfortunately they’re all way too relatable for me…
Wow, loved this video! Craftmanship, humour, beauty (i mean the board ;-) ) and more! Awesome! Thanks man.
Killer video! Helped me a lot with ideas for making my 1st bodyboard. Just retired, and going back to what I loved but had to put on hold for 40 years. My 2nd 1/2 of life will be much more fun than when it started fer-sher!!
Love the wood on this board! Beautiful!!
I couldn’t get over how nice the wood looked. Love it. 🤙
I'm a bodyboader, and that board is really nice. I'd ride that sort of board. Workof art and unique!
Thanks mate. It’s a bit stiff compared to the usual sponge.. but extremely fast!
Cool bananas 🍌
Great build mate 🤙
🤘
@@froggy9495 hey mate,
Sorry I’m not shaping atm. If you found a local shaper it shouldn’t be too hard for them to knock one up for you.
I have never surfed in my life but watching you make these boards is pretty amazing. You do great work and your detail looks to be spot on. I work in automotive painting cars and this looks like way more fun to do. New sub here!
Woow nice
loving the wood finsh, super job as always
Thanks mate 🤙
I'd totally buy one of those! It looks awesome!!!
Another banger!!! Keep 'em coming!
Yew! Will try 🤙
Awesome and funny. Great idea and a great job, looks better that what you see in the shops.
Thanks mate. Appreciate it 🤙
Trabalho lindo, e essa técnica com a folha de madeira ficou perfeito...Show!👏👏👏
Brilliant work
Super nice job. That took a lot of skill and time. Much respect to you.
Muy bien la forma de trabajar en la construcción del bodyboard, saludos desde Perú
Make a 45" one for me? Put some fins on it like my vintage Turbo, and that would be my board for the rest of my life. WOW !
Definitely the nicest board I would never ride 😂 love your stuff mate!
Looks awesome, bro.
How cool 😎 great work
Awesome. Looks sick! Now let's see you riding it.
I’m not sure I know how haha
This video is awesome! Rad music and work of art in the board. Great work, brother!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thanks mate 🤙
Great job
This is a great tutorial for me,now I know I can use the type of foam you used..
Just missing the footage of you sitting down and watching yourself boogie board
I don’t think I have it in me to watch that. It’s bad enough seeing my self surf 😅
True Performance Art!
Cool bananas 🍌
Great build mate 🤙
Thanks 👍
I'd like to have this one, looks amazing.😃
wow!
Great Work!
Cheers mate 🤘
You are a natural entertainer mate haha. Also, nice tunes. Really cool looking board
Yew! Thanks mate 🤙
Love it🙏🤙🤙
Yew! Ty
I've always thought about doing this! Awesome to see someone else on the same brainwaves as myself.
Yew!
Love the video, content genius 🤟
Yew! Thanks
Tom Morey would be proud
That board is rad ,i love the mind boogie
Thanks mate 🤙
I think you forgot the stiffner rods?? Like the natural wood look though, sharks won't like that.😳😊
Mega👍👍👍..das Holz macht es richtig edel 💥
you're number one mate!
🤘
Dude! Really nice video!
Great waves, great surfboard you did!
Greetings from Brazil \0/
Thanks man. 🇧🇷 🤘
That's a weapon. I want a go
This is awesome! I lived land bound for most of my life and just recently moved to Florida. Just now discoverying boogie boards. Can't wait to try one in a couple of weeks. My body is too old and wore out to try standing up on a surfboard. The boogie board looks just my speed. I worked as an autobody tech most of my life and building and shaping a board looks like something I could put my talents to work on. Thanks for the video!
Yew! Definitely get into it. Once you go down the rabbit hole you’ll be hooked 🤘
I'm bodyboarding for almost 20 years it takes a certain skill set and a good board, a set of swim fans and yeah they'll hurt your feet beginning but you'll get used to it also being in good shape is a great attribute good luck brother, coming from somebody that has a bad knee from a leg injury serious break I'm so stoked to see people trying to get into the water using that kind of board, bodyboarding is very overlooked, check out pro bodyboarding videos they're really open your mind to what is possible a small board like that!
Body boarding is sick. I used to body board before I surfed. The guys and gals are insane at pro level. 🤘
Yeah if you've done body work before,you would do well on shaping and constructing a body or surfboard..
ha i was just making a comment being from the auto body world also as a painter. Ive never surfed but this looks like a really interesting career here. I think this would be a blast to learn. My body is also beat from automotive but a boogie board looks pretty cool.
Dudeeee I need this board 🤤
Yew! 🤘
Mantapzzz maszeee
Epic vid
🤙
Great job, from a booger!
great job man 🤙🏼
Thanks 🤙
I've thought about CF'ing the bottom of my boogieboard...
Though, I might as well put some CF stringers in it, while I'm at it.
Go for it!
It’s the fishing pole for me
Nice 🤙
🤙
Hmmmm looks great, I would like to know if it works because must be really hard the impacts
it looks great, i have only one question what is the epoxy varnish. good editing in the video too.
nice job ! what glue did you use to stick propilene ?
Looks great! Did you fill coat / hot coat with epoxy as well or did you switch to poly for that? I find that poly makes much nicer / easier finish coats. Cheers!
Epoxy for everything mate
Bello!!!
Noooooo Shreddy say it ain't so, not a lid rider!!!! 😅😅😅 Great build, love the timber, what was the idea of a fabric inlay and then painting over it? That looks really slick, be interested to hear how she goes. I've just done a handplane to get my cut lap skills up to scratch, haven't tried it yet though!
Haha don’t worry mate.. it’s more for my little guy to push into the white water.
Tbh I was kinda fumbling my way through and I though the jute would be a good bad to sand the wood back too but then I messed it up and just thought fck it and painted over it…
Assuming that is for stand up boogie otherwise that leash plug placement will make going right very difficult. Super technical build and looks awesome.
Haha no idea man. I tried googling it and in the end kinda just winged it. To be honest it’s really just for my little guy to play in the white water. I honestly don’t think I’ll be riding it.
@@Shrednaught just a little bit either side of centre to avoid the stringer and where your front foot might go when dropknee (obviously left or right depending whether you are regular or goofy). If you are only going prone then centre is fine. Usually I'd put it about 8-10 inches from the nose so the deck side plug is on the flat bottom but with a glassed board doesn't matter. You don't want it too far forward or the leash will wrap around the corner of the nose.
I see you know your body boards slightly more than me haha 😅
@@Shrednaught misspent youth
Sick man! I thought you were going to pop in some mini fins too.
The thought has definitely crossed my mind
Simply brilliant 👌 is that basalt you used on the rails? What kind of wood and thickness is that?
It was jute fibre. I’ve had it kicking around in my shed for years now with no purpose so I though I’d use it up. The wood is paulownia and is 3mm thick
Cool! I'm thinking about adding wood deck surfboard like this but I think it need vacuum bag to make wood layer sit on foam perfectly(but I can't effort vacuum bag system price).Do you have any problem with adding wood deck with your way?
Worth to try? Thanks
It worked for this build because the flat deck of the board. If you have any sort of concave or convex you’ll need a bag or a heap of clamps. Good luck 🤙
What are you applying at the 12:10 mark? Thanks for sharing! Keep it up!
Dude the fishing pole lol
😆
Looks so sick what kind of spray paint was it that you used was it just normal
The brand is called anchor paint. Just do a quick google and it’ll give you all the information you need 🤙
The Paipo boys just sat up . 😆
😅
Are ya ready for shreddy? Yew 🤙🔥
Yew!! 🤘
I love your videos full of humor it makes me laugh thank you for sharingI will have a question about gluing your wood veneer you use what as glue? Jespere see other video I subscribed I wish you happy holidays years French friendship🤙🤙🤙
Thanks mate appreciate it 🤙 I used gorilla expanding glue. The one that looks like honey
It's a mixture between a vintage paipo and the new boards
Nice way of describing it 👌
Is that a coat of epoxy you put on after the paint with a roller? Or is that some sort of acrylic clear coat? If epoxy, does the roller get you a thinner coat than using a brush?
That’s a clear acrylic sealer. So I do my lam then a fill coat then a clear acrylic sealer 🤙
What other materials have you used to make boards? What about cork or bamboo or other environmentally friendly materials?
I’ve never used those materials. I would like to do a balsa wood board but it’s really hard to source over here.
Looks like it get down the line super fast but would suck at airs since theres probably zero flex you can pull
do you make those cool sanding blocks?. chingon con tu craftsmanship Dude!
I make some. I buy some. The convex / concave sanding block I bought online. 🤙
Always wondered about doing this, being a hard board is it uncomfortable to ride ?
Tbh I haven’t ridden it. I’m going to give it to a friend that’s a body boarder to try out.. but I do think it’ll be harder on the chest than a standard body board.
I went for a surf yesterday and I was just walking up the beach to my bike and I see these two people with bodyboards. I guess they were warming up or mind surfing but they were doing something very similar to you at 12.46 any ideas what they were doing I'm not sure because I've never bodyboarded before 🤔
Haha no idea man. My guess is the same.. warm ups? I was just trying to copy the rolly moves that I see body boarders do but eccentrically.
@@Shrednaught 🤣🤣🤣
Who is the first band? Sound bit like radio birdman
Would love to see a video on how that thing worked😁
I’ll try get one filmed in the future. I’m not sure I know how to body board though 😅
@@Shrednaught Beautiful Board. I'm sure some Bodyboard pro would love to demo it for a video😁
I’ll have to put the feelers out for someone that has a bit of talent laying down. 🤙
@@Shrednaught I would def buy a custome one for me!!! It is so RAD!!! sick man, thanks for sharing, this idea could revolutionize how we bodyboard
You could pop some fins to it, there are some fins for bodyboars, Vektor systems
What do you use for your polish coat at the end?
It’s a clear acrylic floor sealer. Gives it a nice silky finish.
@@Shrednaught Oh so its not a resin based polish?
Na man.
Lets see some clips!
Is there a possibility 2in thick high-density foam board from the hardware store Would work for this ?
I think you can get xps from the hardware but it isn’t a great foam for bonding with resin. If you have any foam suppliers in the area they should have eps or poly in the same size for cheap. And they can cut to your desired length-width
what did u roll on after you painted
Clear acrylic
I think I would actually prefer the wood on the bottom. Been hit in the face a couple times by my board.
what's the title of the song you used in this video? btw nice work mate!
i saw moray boogie board cracked in half and delminated. wouldnt wood delminate faster or be better in water? warping and deteach/ i see imprinting surboards .. which would be cool..
If the wood got wet it would definitely warp but I have glassed over this wood so it’s impervious to water. I think it’s faster but most modern body boards use flex to control their turns so this is kinda just a point and shoot. I made it more for my little guy to splash around in the knee deep water. 🤙
Can you make a video shaping a retro twin?
How does the board ride?
I haven’t surfed it mate. Too many boards so it’s right on the bottom of the list
I know EPS is considered lower quality than polyethylene (Dow), but how does EPS compare to modern Dow after it's been reformulated to be more environmentally friendly but less durable and more flexible?
It depends on the density of the foam. Eps isn’t lower quality overall. It’s just some eps is a lower density.
Flexibility comes back to the overall build. Multiple components either add or subtract to the flexibility and durability of a board. Such as density, glassing schedule and stringer. As with everything it’s all about compromise. The stronger you make a board generally the less flex and vice versa. So you need to keep that in mind when designing a board.
What is the black circle you made with router for?
Is it the leash plug you’re referencing?
@@Shrednaught oh ok on the picture, it's lower right...I think yes then, it's a leash plug?
Yup that’s a leggie plug. 🤘
Aussie Aussie legend bra
Yew! 🤙
@@Shrednaught for real bro legend i want 1 of them boogs for tow in big stuff did you end up riding it yeeeewwww🤙🏽
Na haven’t ridden it yet man. I’ve kinda placed it to the side for my son to get on when he is ready
@@Shrednaught sick as inspired me dude gonna try n make one thinking using that bamboo cork for the deck bright red rails
Sounds sick. Go for it!
What's the dimension of this board? Did you use the template of another board or come up with your own?
I cannot remember exactly off the top of my head mate. Maybe 42” long?
I used a fishing rod for the outline as seen in the video. I kinda just winged it and made what I thought looked like a body board.
@@Shrednaught Impressive board shaping ingenuity!
Wood inlays look so sick! Are you going to try and surf it or just booge it?
I’m not sure man. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever pick boogy boarding if the surf is good so it’ll prob be just messed around with in the white water. Kinda made it for my son, although only one year old eventually I wanna start pushing him into the frothy white water.
Please which resine used ? Polyester or epoxy?
Epoxy on this one mate.
add 2 fins and watch dakota walters , board looks awsomoe
Shit yeh!
Sweet as video as usual! Have to say you are really improoving your vids in terms of "scenario and cuts" or how to say it.. (damn bloody english haha) but you got the point! :) cheers man!
Thanks man. Appreciate it 🤙
@@Shrednaught Oh and BTW, great concave/convex tool! I am thinking about to making one for myself as well for some time already. Loads of plan and not enough time:)) But seeing it in your vid it made me more sure I shoulda make it soon:)
cheers
It’s always the way. Too many things to do not enough time! Let me know if you need any advice 🤙
@@Shrednaught Well, I sort of got the idea before and to seen it in your vid made it even more clear, which is great and thank you so much for that!! I will see how it will go and maybe will ask for any tips etc later on but do not want to disturb ya :)) cheers man
Thanks. Where can I see the playlist?
Which playlist mate?
@@Shrednaught For the songs... wana know songs at 3.29 and 7.30 if you got em.... cheers!
Ooo I gotcha. I’ll suss them out and let ya know tomorrow man
I woulda thought you'd put the wood on the bottom!
I honestly would of loved to.. but I don’t have a vacuum bag setup. I would of struggled to get the wood to conform to the concaves/ contours on the bottom. The deck was just flat.
What is that sanding jig guy you've got there?
Concave sanding tool?
@@Shrednaught That's the one. Make things clean and consistent. Definitely going to look around for one. Thanks!
Yeh just have a suss at the surf suppliers near you and it shouldn’t be too hard to find man. My one does concave and convex and was about 80-90 bucks I think 🤙
I need one of these! Where can I buy?
You’ll have to ask your local shaper to build you one 🤙
Slap some twinies on that and let's see some vid of you rippin it !
What the sheeting on the bottom
Just fibreglass and epoxy resin
I want…. I need
Very beautiful board but terribly dangerous to ride it
Ride it
Reckon it would fly that boog
