Surfboard Shaping & Glassing [Longboard]
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2021
- A step by step time-lapse video of shaping and glassing a longboard. Surfboard dimensions are 9’2” x 22.75 x 3. I used a polyurethane foam blank with two layers of 6 oz fiberglass cloth on the deck and one layer on bottom with a tail patch. I used Greenlight marine grade epoxy resin with colored tints to create a resin swirl. I used a Bahne fin box and FCS leash plug. Logos were printed by boardlams. Pin lines were made with resin and black pigment.

Would love to see a video for beginner board builders where you do a start to finish of a board and explain the details (like what materials are used and why, why you choose to do ? many coats of fibreglass, the trade-off between strength and materials/weight, etc). It's quite intimidating for people looking to start. Anyways, great video and loved the look of the board!!
Check out some of Andrew W's videos - he does a great job explaining the process. I'm more just showcasing my work and builds. You could also try a mini shaping hobby kit from greenlight to get a taste for the process before doing a full board build.
@@BendheimBoards Thanks for the info. Will check Andrews videos out
@@alberto6174 +1 for Andrew W
+1 for Andrew W i start with his videos to !
When you poured the epoxies on top of each other I was totally expecting it to blend into a brown not retain each vibrant color. Looks great
Dude that board looks sick I’ll take one with a rounded pin
The color is so cool
bruh, your freehand skills are on point!
SO Agree.
That board looks really awesome.
I had made my longb some time ago , your video is quite explicit for the beginer , so thanks and congratulation for share your board ,greets from Uruguay
shape, color, perfect board wow
US Blanks 2.0 nominal board. Hope the EPS board is to your satisfaction. My plant made the EPS block that your blank came from. 👍
Looks amazing!!!
It looks amazing! Parabéns.
Beautiful board and a helpful video.
Wow that looks so good great job
Love it!
This board is really dope
groovy colors
Fabulous skills 🤘
Epic, I need to make my own now!
It'a amazing! Great Work
Good surf thank you
You are a boss 🤩
well done
You are just awesome
I like their video and their work very good surfboards factories
Beautiful work. It would have been nice to see you ridding it on a wave
I’ve got a video riding it as well
Sonho !!!!!
This is so satisfying
Board looks awesome
Do you sell your boards you shape 🤙🏽
Thanks, no just a hobby right now so I don’t have any for sale
6:44 *well hello* 😊
Good catch on the stickers haha
Tanner great job. How to have a board from you😅 anyway excellent 🤙
Man you make it look so easy , thanks for showing us how it’s done ✅
What kind of weigh of cloth did you used on the deck? It’s ways a interesting tradeoff between weight and strength
two layers of 6oz fiberglass on the deck and one layer on the bottom
That blank is EPS right? It seems to be shredding and sanding so fine.
Great morning clip to watch. Love the jazzy mood.
He used a polyurethane foam blank + Epoxy Resin. 💪
Thanks man. It’s a PU blank and epoxy resin
Yeah, seamed way too fine. Thx.
It’s made of 2.0 nominal EPS
Great videos mate! I was wondering, how much would be different and difficult to make SUP board this way. Have you ever tried that? Could you?
Thanks, same process just a bigger application. I don't SUP so I've never made one.
Make batik style graphic
Sweet….when should I be by to pick it up 🤙🏼
😉
Board came out sick! What type of drill bit did you use for the leash plug? It seemed to get through the stringer no problem.
Thanks! Got it from shapersupply.com
Hey man, I love the board. I had a quick question for you:
I'm shaping my own longboard and its going to be a 9'7" pig style nose rider and I was wondering what you would suggest the concave should be? Let me know, Thanks!
Up to you. For this board I did concave under the nose for nose riding and a vee on the tail. Flat in the middle.
Question: when do you add the catalyst? Before adding the cup with paint to the resin? I tried to do swirls but it ended up solidifing too quickly under the fiberglass.
This board was epoxy so it uses a hardener. You mix the color into the hardener and then mix it with the resin right before applying. For poly resin, mix the color and then add the catalyst when ready to start laminating.
What kind of planer and sander do you use? Can you get good results with less expensive tools? And something ive always wondered: why do you have to sand the final coat of resin?
WEN electric planer - cheapest one out there. Variable speed sander. You could just use a sanding block and not any electrical tools, its just more time consuming. Sand the final coat to flatten and then bring back to a gloss finish
Fat bro you do nice work enjoy your vids
Thanks!
Whats the difference between the hot coat and the gloss coat? Are you mixing the resin with a specific chemical?
No difference with epoxy, but with poly resin is thinned out for the gloss coat to give it a high gloss finish. Epoxy is just another coat to seal the pin-lines
your board is just beautiful, I have a question. how did you get the sheets printed with the shape of the board cutout?

Bendheim Boards thank you very cool to have answered
Hey man. Great vid as usual. When you snip the glass to shape should you always cut away the edge band of the roll?
yep, there's a little strand of fibre in it that remains visible when wet. you might see it and you might not depending on how you colour the board so better to snip it🤙🏽
Thanks, yes I always round my hard edges in the fiberglass cloth
Thanks for the tip, I always thought there’s something funny about the banding
what does “hot coat”mean? varnish or other epoxy composition? thanks for ur videos. I make my first sup from extruded polystyrene. 9' length, 4'' thickness. Do you think it will be tough enough after glassing? without stringer. And what is the viscosity of epoxy for glassing?
Hot coat is just a borrowed term from polyester resin boards. You add more catalyst with poly resin to make it kick faster which also makes it go hot faster - hot coat. But for epoxy resin, the hot coat step is just a fill coat since the resin mixing ratios are always the same of 2:1 so it doesn't cure any faster. Strength depends on how heavy of fiberglass weaves you are using and how many layers. Without a stringer, you'll probably need extra strength in the glass. This board is only 2 layers of 6oz on the deck and 1 layer on the bottom which is pretty light for a longboard.
@@BendheimBoards 👍breakthrough!
Hey, this is such inspiring work, made me wonder, what's the global cost for a board like this one ? I'd like to make myself a 7'
Thanks
Ranges anywhere from 600 to 1,000 +
Tanner please explain why and what it does, the Concave on the Bottom of the longboard? May offer is there for you anytime. Love the epoxy Color. Reminds be of 🔥 God Be With You and Family. Hope you have a Pro Ride in the Making. Peace Tanner
Thanks man! The nose concave is used for nose riding and holding your line when your feet are up there
@@BendheimBoards is that like Hang Ten? Tanner how are sale do with this China Virus? I hope it is not hurting your business. Have they ever made Surfboard out of Balsawood ?
@@gregoryh4601 Yes for hanging ten. I'm not selling any boards, but the surfboard industry has actually increased in sales significantly through covid. I've never made a balsawood board.
Do you use an on-the-fly adjustable planer?
Its the WEN electric planer and is adjustable but on the fly good like the shaping planers
Good afternoon, please tell me what paper is your logo printed on? Otherwise, it’s not possible to do something like that. thanks
Rice paper
Thanks so much. Have a good day.
What kind of tape are you using for the cutlap? The painters tape I have does not like to stick to foam
I use 3M 233+ it’s expensive but the resin doesn’t bleed. I also have a hard time getting tape to stick to the foam sometimes
What rail bands did you do for this board?
50/50 in the middle and 60/40 nose and tail
@@BendheimBoards ok sweet, thanks!!!
What is the name of the material you used to secure the fin box and leash plug? Me and a Buddy are building boards and we’re wondering. Thanks!
Cabosil mixed with resin 👍
Dude I’ve always wanted to shape a board but it seems so daunting..
what's the reasoning behind using epoxy resin on a PU blank?
I like epoxy since it doesn’t smell like poly and I prefer PU blanks because the tint colors comes out so much better
Can u ride ur single fin shortboard
Yes it’s a super fun board
I wish I had dat board
Hey. What rail bands did you do in this board? Thanks
60/40 and 50/50 rails
@@BendheimBoards how do you measure them out on the blank?
@@robertfioresi7547 Go to greenlight surf supply's website for helpful tips on measuring rail bands
@@BendheimBoards did you do 50/50 for the whole length of the board?
@@robertfioresi7547 50/50 on nose and tail, 60/40 in the middle
How many boards have you done? and did you have a mentor or did you learn from anyone? thanks
Was that just one layer of 4oz top and bottom? If so how’s the board holding up?
2 layers of 6oz on deck and 1 layer on bottom. Works great
Lowkey miss when there wasn’t music, still good shit tho
Would you make one and do a give away please🙊😭😩🙏🏼
Maybe…
Time to open a store, at least online and take orders bro.
🤙
Please people's helping me, donate me a board pls, my board was full of holes, and full of water, and it broke 😢😔
