I love surfing, building with my hands and making videos. Bendheim Boards is my outlet to fuel these passions. I'm self-taught and am not an expert, but these videos show the process that works for me. Follow along for new videos every month! - Sport

It's rare that I'll watch a 12 minute long video without skipping ahead, but I thoroughly enjoyed this whole thing! Well done sir! Well done!
Thanks!
@@BendheimBoards You beat me too it. I was just getting ready to post the same thing. Video wasn't too long, yet wasn't too short. Music was unobtrusive and pleasant. Just enough of each step to keep it interesting. And of course, the board turns out looking great. I've never built my own board. It'd be cool to surf something you made yourself. Great job all the way around! Dig factor 9!
Good work,looks awesome
This is sick! He made a whole surfboard in under 15 minutes!!
hahaha
Ha! I wish!
@@BendheimBoards Haha! You are insanely talented. It was so cool to see this!
@@volkskrant825 15 minutes! I laughed out loud when I read that!🤣 Last board took two friggin weeks to complete. Obviously I wasn’t working on it all day, but dang, one-off boards take a lot of time. I could have easily made 5 boards or more in the same time though if I had the space and had em all lined up.
@@joeblow1942 I have mad respect for people like you! That really doesnt seem easy!
not even a surfer, but, I was captivated the entire duration of the video while your created/crafted this surfboard
Appreciate the positive feedback
He spent a month after this cleaning the shop.
As someone who is 29 and who has been surfing since the age of 5, this is by far the best most detailed build i’ve seen in a while!
This is magic - I’m 68 years old and have surfed since I was 10 years old growing up in Santa Cruz - I once spent time in Italy and my neighbor was an artist that sculpted with marble - I’d watch the process for hours and was fascinated - I’m an engineer and physicist - pretty dry stuff - but the sculptures a shaper creates using so many trades is so unique and each sculpture has its own identity - they all drift as an individual - it’s magic - Thanks to the Shapers that give us life
Thanks man, appreciate it.
I've always wanted to make my own board, but watching this made me feel like just designing it is enough.
Same here. 😂😂
all you have to do is start :)
c'mon, it's just 12 minutes to make one, don't be lazy
I've made a paddle board before, it's actually quite fast and easy. Takes maybe 5 days after work
@@BFVsnypEz how do you get started making a paddle board? Did someone teach you or did you learn the whole process yourself?
Beautiful job on the board. Really nice work. I was Greenlight’s first ever employee back around ‘09-‘10. Helped Brian get a couple of his NJ locations off the ground. After teaching the board making course for a while I moved onto glassing for some of the local guys and doing my own stuff. Haven’t made a board in a couple years, but this brought back some good memories. Keep up the good work. 🤙
Right on 🤙
Any board making courses on Oahu that you'd know of?
@@N3vDawg Hmm. Not off the top of my head, but you might be in luck if you poke around on the Swaylock’s forum a bit. There are plenty of guys out there. Good luck and have fun!
@@BendheimBoardshey I have a few questions what kind of paint is that just normal black paint or? And how long does it usually take for your resin to dry
You know what’s funny? We’ve got this low key mentor ship thing going and you don’t even know! 😂 I knew I wanted to shape for a long time but most of the industry keeps their process a secret, but not you. I watched all your videos a few times while shaping my first board and they helped tremendously. Anytime someone asks where I learned to shape I send them a link to your channel. Keep it up brotha I know there’s plenty of other people with the same gratitude for you! Thanks again, have a good one!
That’s awesome man, thanks for the feedback and kind words! Glad to hear the videos are helping! 🤙
Same here!
The artistry is astounding!!
You just made me appreciate my board even more! Amazing craftsmanship!
That was very relaxing to watch on a non windy day, could inspire me to make my own wing foil board.
Shaping a board is a straight craft. Just like woodworking. You’ve got to know what you’re doing. And you’ve got to skills. Awesome video!
Thanks man, agreed!
I m a sculptor and painter and what you're doing is exactly this. Loved watching this- artistry
I keep finding myself watching these videos even though I don't surf. It's just fascinating to watch. May God bless and prosper your business. 👍🏻
Congrats, perfect job. Thanks for remembering '80s when similarly shaping my first "sinker" windsurf!
Whole new levels of respect for board makers!!
I wish I had their attention to detail.....
The only board that was ready next week as promised. Nice work.
This is so inspiring! My grandfather was from Spain. He was what they call a Riviera Master (one of the last ones in the Dominican Republic). Riviera masters would chop trees down and build huge sailboats the old-fashioned way. He came from a long line of Riviera masters from Vigo, Spain. (His family have been boat builders since the times of Columbus and passed on the skills from father to son). It's in my blood. I love watching how things that float are made. This was so awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!
Sounds like an awesome heritage to come from! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
I've owned an auto body shop for 35 years and that was absolutely amazing. nice job!
Epic to see what goes into making a board
Le travail est tellement appliqué ! C’est impressionant
Great video! Never knew how much work went into making one board.
Favorite part of the video - the 'hold the board under the arm test while walking to the beach' - classic. Nice video. great work
Nothing like watching an artisan perfect a masterpiece. Thank you:)
I’m in love with this video
This is why I take care of all my surfboard. It’s art and craftsmanship that I appreciate. Never understood people that beat up their boards and trash them.
My twintip is hanging above my bed 👌
@@steven-mj1yi Dope. I have these nice wood mounted racks for my twin and quad fish in my living room. It's basically wall art at that point that you can ride!
That much work and skill in making a board of that caliber seems to be worth the price tag.
Therapeutic and beautiful. Mahalo for the good vibes 🤙🏾!
Absolutely incredible!
Excellent work! Love your videos. They are so relaxing to chill to and watch your craftsmanship.
🙏
That’s a work of art. Incredible skills.
I knew shapers create artistc pieces but a little more geometry than I expected. Impressive, thanks for sharing.
These are awesome! High quality work and asmr satisfying. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks man! 🙌
Well done that man! Skilled AF
Holy cow i remember when FCS came out. It changed the industry almost overnight. The 2 plug system. I went from glassing on fins to hardly ever glassing on fins in a short period. I ended up using my fin rope for various airbrush designs. 25 years in the business and I gave it up. This video is bringing back good memories. Nice board you made there fella.
thanks man, glad to bring back the memories for you!
La mer toujours aussi belle.....merci steph pour ces belles images....😉🤙🏄♂️
Dang! That looks SO NICE! Good work!
It’s so satisfying watching this video!
Beautiful, I love watching your videos. Thank you
This was the most amazing surfboard design i have ever seen fits my personality well asf
Hi there. I have never seen a board being made. The way you made it looked very masterfully done. I can’t imagine how perfect the shape has to be to make it surf worthy, yet it was beautiful to see it all form. (By the way) I’m not even a surfer. Amazing!!
I’m not a surfer, but that’s a beautiful looking surf board. What a cool process.
Thanks. I'm crafting a micro board out of foam core for a friend and needed a guide for proper techniques.
What an ART!
Freehanding those lines was very impressive
Serviço nota 10 meu amigo. Fantástico!
Amazing job, my friend. Congrats for your talent and dedication. The board is beautiful, the footage as well. Cheers from Brazil!
obrigado cara!
I couldn't look away. This was really fun to watch. 🙏🤙
Alright - color me impressed. I had zero idea so much skill and artistry went into creating a board. I'm in awe. Props.
thanks man, appreciate it!
This guy doesn't stop...
Right on man, enjoyed this. Thanks!
Mad respect from a skater to surfer!
Beautiful work and a very enjoyable video
Whay a quality, few videos but always awesome
Thanks! 🤙
What does "whay a quality" mean?
@@joeblow1942 what a quality
Bad ass build brother. Glad I watched this before I made my next board. Got some inspiration for sure.
Glad to hear 🙌
It was a joy to watch!! Excellent job! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
That was sick man, I was watching thinking I’d love to learn and by the end I was like there’s no way. Crazy skills you have, I’d love to see a video of someone riding it 🤙
I’ve got a video riding it in Punta Mita 👍
Man you have one amazing talent the Craftsmanship you put into this gorgeous board. I Skateboard myself and can respect the time put forth into that surf board. Surfing is my next board to learn. Going Skimboarding this week coming up in Santa Cruz CA.
Thanks man! You’ll be hooked
Great show of 'how to' and manufacturing knowledge.
Plus some mad skills.
A joy to watch!
Thanks man! 🤙
This surfboard looks pretty cool.
Yesss dude ! Now I’m keen to build my owwwn 🤙🏽
Same
How to shape a surfboard:
Step 1: use a surfboard to trace the shape of a surfboard
Step 2: after the basic shaping - use a surfboard and a wire to trace a shapes of edges
😂🤣 exactly
Step 3: use surfboard to see if measurements are correct
Started shaping my first board today, great to see this now.
Mesmerising. Great craft and skill 👍🏻
Imagine asking someone where he got his board from and he just answers “oh yeah i made it”
🤙
Lol
@@Sbfkah j
its a great feeling : )
It's called Flex-seal.
Pretty awesome! Been wanting to see someone make a board without a vacuum and all that jazz.. I'm not certain if the strength is the same. But you seem like you are doing this as a pro and I would take your tech. and use it to make my efoil . Thanks bud!
thanks!
Одно из самых крутых и информативных видео по DIY доски для сёрфинга!
Who knew there was so much work that went into it. Interesting video thanks.
Amazing. I now get it why surf boards are so expensive!
groso! Cuando termine la carrera me voy a convertir en shaper
Huge amount more work than I thought involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That one is a stunning board.
this reminds me of surfs up when cody was making his board
Whenever I hear you cut with the planer I think of the time when someone commented “woah what material is that” 😂
Haha 🤙
Hahahaha, I'm literally one of them 😂😂
This was satisfying to watch.
My mind is totally blown! Absolute amazing talent!
🙏
Love it how he goes for black like he is doing stab in the dark 😂
Ficou perfeito preciso de uma dessa 👌
Da pra comprar cara, ele copiou o modelo sampler da al merrick
My cousin, Midget, was a popular shaper in San Clemente. He made me a beautiful board for the Great Lakes. Watching him work was a great.
perfect great work , i have always admired surfboard shapers , true artist . I have watched people shape and glass boards for over 50 years , it still amazes me , great talent young man keep up the great work
Thank you!
Muito linda!!! Massa parabéns, moro em Ubatuba \o/
Brigado cara! 🇧🇷
I wish have that board.
Initially i clicked on this video to test my wifi connection ended up watching it till the end. Cool stuff man!
Awesome!
I don't know how you stand all that foam dust on you all day! Hats off to you.
Now I know why surfboards are expensive…
foam boards are cheap but when they are hardboards and made like this then yeah there weeeeellll expensive
Its all about skill and finish product. Surfboard shaper got a years of experience shaping and finishing the board from the hardest to easiest part of making it. Their skill are priceless.
All famous brand even arakava Hawaii use robot to shape and ghost shape to do final "touch".
Only pro rider can get shaper "hands" shaping or your local shaper that make fiew board per year and he could any use preshape foam blank....
Facts
Expensive? For the unlimited opportunities and freedom that boards are giving.. idk how expensive for a board ? Cheep af?
Thanks for showing how it’s done; I’ve started to get more interested in shaping and this was inspiring. All those tools, wow.
Think the logo design needs a little more artistic flair to it, similar to the blocky tanner logo, I’ve always wanted to check one out but some of the design choices are too industrial-like for my tastes.
thanks man, going for the simplistic look on the logo
That’s was pretty dope. Beautiful board
Man this reminds me of my pops miss him sm
Parabéns,lindo trabalho.
Brigado cara!
Espetacular :) ........Brasil........
🇧🇷
awesome board, it's interesting to watch how it's made, so many steps! well done, i liked this video!
Well done very nice board❤🎉
Awesome skills. I realize the foam shaping is a minimal part of the time consumed, but I would think a hot wire cutter against a template could get you to 90% in seconds.
Maybe, never used one. Handsaw works good for me
1:48. Whoa, that was the best way I have ever seen to copy the rails! Was that a piece of 12 gauge wire?
Can’t remember what gauge, but standard metal wire from the hardware store
I was soo lucky to do this in my after-school activities ❤
Wowwwww!! Your talent was so amazing!! You did the great job man!
It looks like you've added the leash plug (as opposed to the fin boxes) after the last glassing layer and just applied a hot coat after that. Did I pick it up wrong or what's the reason to do it that way?
Fantastic video!
Correct, FCS 2 plugs I do before glassing and leash plug after hot coat
I suppose it's because when it rips out, it doesn't break the glass layer?
@@Dominic94St yes, it prevents that from happening, but it’s an added bonus. The reason you don’t put the leash plug in under the glass is because it comes with a raised lip around it, which needs to be ground down after installing it. If you grind it down on exposed foam, you will cut away foam around it. If you grind it down to exposed fiberglass, you will burn through the fiberglass, into the foam. It has to be done on the harder, sandable hot coat.
@@jonnyzuma6884 thank you for the explanation!
Lol I’m going surfing tomorrow and just happens to see this
great job, all hand made, incredible
Am I the only one who has watched this numerous times? Somehow it's mesmerising to witness this creation.
🙌
Get my guy into stab in the dark
Haha those guys are on a whole nother level
