This so beautiful. Seen a old surfboard get back to life, bringing again smiles and making someone's happy. This is the epitome of recycling.
Great video. Recycling is always good, And yes: you are also a shaper!
Subscribed! Love these videos and I'm not even a surfer! I live near London lol. Great to see passionate craftsmen restoring treasures to former glory or creating gold from old. Nice work
Thanks Blue! Appreciate the sub!
Severe back pain has kept me from surfing since 2019, although I've been going almost every day since 1999, and seeing the care you take with these boards feels incredibly good (no idea why...) and soothes my sadness away from the almighty surfboards :) btw I love the spirit of your channel and I'm off for a watching marathon! Thanks 🙏
thanks for inspiration! Great video and happy surf trip !!!
Great video. Leave the imperfections! That's what makes the boards so cool. Oh you like my board? That's a bullet hole in it. You are an artist man!
I love surf trips like this. You get to your destination not knowing what to expect. You see peelers and you feel like you struck gold. hell yeah man keep the spirit alive
Great board! Looks new to me!!
I would assume the patchwork no prob.
Its so good to bring to life old surfboards! I really appreciate what your doing. Hugs from Portugal
One of the most satisfying videos I've watched in my life 😍
Thank you!
Such a great video! Way to go on the shape / lam and how cool to bring a board back to life. Nothing like upcycle shaping.
0:58 I love the Patina here, Was honestly hoping you would retain that.
Your shaping is awesome.
I have no idea what I'm talking about, but seeing the paint result, maybe use the offcuts of the same board, get a joiners dowel cutter for the small holes instead of taking g out a massive chunk. Go deeper rather than wider so the epoxy on the plug doesn't come through. Not sure if it works but it makes sense to me.
Spray the board with a base of white first maybe? And then a color over it might blend it better. Awesome work though! I think it still looks great! Keep it up and looking forward to more videos
Great second life to the board and a great edit overall!
Very very cool work man🤙🏼
Really sick work🏄♂️
Why not use some filler primer instead of paint? Then paint on that. The filler primer would hide any imperfections because it goes on thicker. I use it to hide layer lines and seams in my 3D prints. Paint never hides any imperfections underneath. Usually it just makes them more visible.
This is just awesome! You are an amazing craftsman. Restoration is my passion so I would love to take on such a project, but as a beginner surfer with no workshop probably never going to happen :(
Thanks again for the videos!
When patching the boards or using filler maybe try spraying a color thats not as drastic of a change so like if you want it black spray a light gray to help blend the imperfections then spray your black
Wow. Great video. The trip was too good.
how does this channel have only 8k subs, what a vid !!!!!! made us make a connection with an old board, and mind surf it in friken nicaragua, insane !!!
Thank you! Hopefully more subs soon!
My idea for a paint job would be to go with squares made by the repairs. Tape them off and paint them different colours. Maybe go for a retro 80s geometric paint job.
This is awesome what u did with that board I love it yeww🤙🏼
Cool that you upcycle, but remember when you cut 12"plus off the tail and only 2 to 3" off the nose that you just pushed the rocker apex forward towards the nose 10 to 11" that would cause the board to plow or push water ,you can push it back to center or behind center a few inches but you will lose a little thickness
epic! love when you fast forwarded through that terrible story that one ugly dude was about to tell
Nice vid man, I'm a surfer from Australia, repaired and painted many a board over the years. With the patches use the excess foam from the same board and try circles instead, you'll find that if you get the plug nice and tight with the same foam from the board once you paint you shouldn't see any repair at all 👌🏻
Smart! Thank you!
the tail is so beautiful. great video if the ding is come with different rainbow colour it can be a great style. Great board
When I used to paint boards I used a 2:1 ratio of spackle and water and applied 2 layers of it on the foam with a squigy. Helps create a flat surface for painting maybe it could help hide the foam fillers on future projects. Sick video love your process!
Glad you enjoyed your trip. Stay COZY KING
Looks like the NSR house with Playa Colorados right out front! Stayed there 10 years ago before it got nuts!
COOL AF!!!!!
this was awesome. made me want to try it out myself 😂
Amazing
NICE!
Should've left the holes, and called it buckshot. Nice upcyclying!
i've never been so fucking amped over a craft video... i was cheering and fist pumping the whole time dude. This is so sick, congrats!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
I would left the inserts visible as a feature and be proud of it. Its reaclaimed recycled reshaped old surfboard and thats good. Nothing to hide here. Shape became out nicely. Good surfing.
Try using black in your resin/hotcoat. You get a super deep saturation or colour. It polishes super nice too.
Thank you! Great tip.
Before airbrushing, tints and pigments were the standard methods of coloring boards. Tints allowed you to see through the glass to the blank while pigments just gave a flat finish with no depth.
Midget Farrelly used to run his fiberglass supply company Surfblanks in Sydney, Australia. All his custom boards were pigmented. We used to joke that he'd shape all his reject blanks (rather than throw them away) and hide the faults with pigment glass jobs. (I had some of those boards so I'm speaking from experience.) Midget was very thrifty after all, some might even have called him a tight-arse. He had a short fuse but was quite talkative if you steered him onto one of his hobby-horses.
@@Simon.the.Likeable thanks for sharing this. Cool to hear a personal story about a legendary surfer like Midget.
Neat stuff. I would have left it clear. Cool project.
nice video!!
Panga Drops? Looks fun and great vid of the board restoration!
Great job man don't beat your self 😅
Also, spend the extra on clear- some awesome nordic hard drying 2k marine grade clears that can be polished to a glass like finish
Nother rippa!!!!!!!!!
Hey man great job! I personally eould have used tinted resin tho. Much less work than paining foam.
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you bro. Fans in morroco
Wow, I’ve always wanted to travel to Morocco! Thanks for watching!
Now that's a video
Hacienda Iguana!! 🔥🔥🔥
So fun!
But, youve inspured me to have a go nxt time i find an old board...i enjoy refurbing the stuff i do now but never done a board... not much i havent done, but this looks fun
So good!!! I think the fin boxes are too much in the back I think if you try to do 8 or 10 inches from the tail, but you work is so good brotha!!!
Do you do any prep besides cleaning and what spray paint do you use on blanks. Im too nervous about overspray causing delam. I'm in norcal so it's a mission to get foam
I think it's great that you took a usable old foam out of the landfill. Double bonus.
Any advice regarding painting a used epoxy surfboard. It seem like epoxy is harder to sand !! I dont manage to get the spay paint stick to the board !!! Even with a clear coat on top .
inspired
18:20 that thing is flying down the line mate!! Looks so sick!!
Thank you!
Great video. I saved a board from the landfill and made a mini Simmons. I did a resin swirl which hid a lot of the patchwork. Now if I could just edit the footage from 80 minutes to 20. 😬🤙🏼
Takes forever!
is Cabosil the same as Q Cell as far as thickening agent, or is it used more as an adhesive?
This might be a tip.. my brother in law repaired a broken stone deleo thingy he had. He did it some Japanese philosophically adroit way or some shit. But the jist of the process and technique was to embrace the repair. Highlight it. I thought perhaps you could incorporate the inserts into a graphic design maybe? Make it a highlight and an obvious celebration of the repurposing of the board as opposed to trying to make the plugs invisible. Just a thought
ever try spraying sprayfil use it as a primer it will fill any imperfections then you can hit with a high grit sandpaper then whatever base coat you put on is going to adhere and not suck in
So beautiful
Thanks for posting this cool project! Just little things I noticed here and there... you've got a lot of relief cuts on the lap, just curious what that does for you? You can also save yourself some tape by hotcoating the deck immediately after laminating, brushing under the board and basting the lap line, and can sand it down before bottom hotcoat and only tape for that. Not only does it save tape, but at least for me, it require less sanding on the rails and seems more true to shape, easier workflow.
Great tip I’ll try that on the next board I glass! I like those relief cuts because they prevent wrinkles in my laps.
Nicely done. How do you clean the dust off after sanding the laminating resin cutlaps?
Spray with compressed air
Textured primer or just primer before patient maybe.
I shaped my fist board this way in 98 or 99. It was fun and didn’t have to layout the money for a blank.
I like the way you taped your fin box before you set them but how do you get the right cant on the fins doing that way. If you wouldn't mind letting me know that way I can try it to make the process go faster when I'm using epoxy. Thank you
As long as your route is clean, the box will sit flat in the channel. I only use fins to set cant when repairing boards.
Another great episode! One day I'll have to get one of your SAVED boards to hang in Bird's Surf SHED!!!
Wow, I’d be honored!!
I could send you up an old board or 5 for you to do what ever you want with them. Patch um up and given them to the needy or? I have so many with more coming in daily. Maybe do one of your reshapes and I can let people ride it and hang it with some of the other special boards. Give me an address and I'll get some up to U!
Amazing- how about this, I’ll save you the shipping cost and drive down to meet you at the shop and we can film a bit? I think this could make a really cool video. I’ve been to the Shed before for surf movie premieres!
@@Rogue_wave 4 Sure! We'll set a time and Ill have my guy Ken Lewis shoot us jawboning and we can post it up. Off to Montana for a breather so lets connect mid July and roll with it!!!
@@birdssurfshed Love it, shoot me a text or call me (310) 753 5664
What about putting 1 layer of glass then paint. Then add another layer?
Cuando estamos haciendo hot costa y poniendo resina en horizontal, parece que está bailando, hago igual jajajaja😂
💃
BB gun or shotty? I make reclaimed wood tables and hate it when i find a chunk of metal with my saw or planer. Niether copper or lead is great for metal detection so they can slip thru. Didnt look like lead or copper though.
Nice work, that boards nickname is Tupac. Although it took more than 5 shots. Only downside about black boards is the wax melts with any sun exposure out of the water.
Hahaha! “Five shots couldn’t drop me I took it and smiled”
Shoutout to the dude wearing a TT Roadhouse shirt!
Always look forward to your videos. I dont watch other makers regards boards and repairs. You my go to guy, yes yes I am odd LOL. But its pretty Noice you take old boards and remake them. I enjoy the process of seeing something new being made from something old. Would a white base primer not have hid the patches? And or that stuff you use call Q Cell?
That’s awesome, glad you enjoy! Primer would have definitely helped…
Not sure how it would work on the surfboard foam but I was thinking maybe doing a filler primer before the black would have helped a bit. Either way cool stuff! Let me know I you ever want a photographer to come out and shoot you doing your thing :) I'm in the LA area.
Great idea- I tried this on a different board, did it the wrong way, and made a horrible mistake… stay tuned for my next vid I’ll talk all about it!
Sick job on that . Black is to trendy for me . But who care what anyone thinks.
Absolutely amazing video, and the trip at the end had me grinning so hard! what time of year did you visit? And if it’s a known spot would you mind naming the place!🤙🏽🤙🏽
(I know it’s Nicaragua haha mean specific)
Thanks! Playa Colorados, we went in June I believe
thanks for the reply!@@Rogue_wave
El rap en español estaba guay jaja
Sikkk!
where in Nicca did you go and safe did you feel it was? Things have changed since I was last there in 2018.
We stayed at Hacienda Iguana and felt very safe.
@@Rogue_wave Ive been there before. Buzz is a good guy. Thanks.
I bet that got pretty warm in the sun.
Oh yeah
Looks like my moonraker
Great job man! I’d never go black again in a surfboard though, heats up like an MMA fighter on crack at a bar.
😂
Whats that first layer you pulled off made from?
Not an expert in any way, but I do repair boards now and then for fun,and I think it looked like the old fibreglass layer of the original board.
Yep that’s the original fiberglass
Therapeutic.
Why dont you prime the board before the black? Im a spray painter (not graffiti, cars/furniture/you name it), so im intrigued as to how it turns out. I assume that was carbon fibre fibre glass sheet put over the black, then that epoxy stuff was a clear drying resin yeah?
Check out my next video I have a big priming mishap
Where did you stay in Nicaragua? Apologies if I missed it in vid. #beer
the only thing i did not get was you but two layers of glass on the top and it looks like you did not wet out the first layer and a bunch of air bubbles got caught in there?
A lot of the bubbles were on the lap because I didn’t grind it flush since I was in a rush to finish if before the trip. The rest of the tiny bubbles just showed up because of the black color (I think).
Should have left the bullets in it and painted it like it was bleeding from them
Looks good but:
The board looked like a good board you could have restored/ reglassed; There are surely too many twins in circulation now; thanks
Fair!
shouldnt hide the foam inserts, infact paint them a different colour so you can see them clearly.
You didn’t want to set the angle of the fin boxes? Or did I miss an explanation on that step?
good question. Fin boxes aren’t actually installed at an angle, the fin itself is angled (futures) or the inside of the box is angled (FCS).
@@Rogue_wave I think he means the angle in the length of the board. How much they are straight along the rails or pointing more inward. I was also curious why you didn't just paint the board after the glassing. That way you wouldn't have seen anything?
Ah got it! The “toe” angle of the fin. I set it at 1/8” or maybe 1/4”. Which indicated how much the boxes are offset from the stringer. Boxes installed parallel to the rails would actually be a reverse toe angle and would feel very “loose” and unstable.
I personally do not like the look of painted surfboards (paint on top of fiberglass). Plus it’s not permanent.
@@Rogue_wave as long as your futures boxes are perfectly flat you won't have a problem... But I've seen a few boards (from major brands) with futures boxes that have messed up cant. I prefer to use dummy fins to resin in the boxes and set the cant before lamination, especially on boards with lots of concave.
I didn't see any patches over your boxes, do you usually add patches and you skipped it to keep the color consistent? And if so have you had any problems with the boxes?
In my experience, over time futures boxes tend to lift the glass around the edges of the box while fcs tend to crack. Repairs on either type of box never last long for me either. I think it's due to the foam being compressed around the base of the box giving the fin and box more play, or the bond between the glass and foam weakening.
This might be an unpopular opinion but I actually prefer the old style fcs twin tab boxes! The easiest to glass and the easiest to repair imo, but I've broken boxes on every board I've had for the past 10 years haha
JJfs broken board is my target at work. I mak'em. They Break'em hahaha
Wow, that is a sick target! Surfboards really are satisfying to shoot 😂
Many years ago, we made a Black board for one of our team riders in The Canary Islands. He was not too pleased..lol it wasn’t intended to be a racisist statement, but was taken as one………..
Some people need to lighten up…
Black paint is really bad for a surfboard because it gives a lot of Delamination if you put it in the sun
I don’t leave my boards laying in the sun 😎
When next upload?
About 10 minutes after you posted this!
😮😮😮😮😅🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮👍
I have a couple of Old Clark foam blanks gathering dust in my rafters that were shaped into large 7' 6" shortboards(Lol) and never finished. I need to bring these to you to have them made into something short and fun(I'm in the LBC)
For sure! Text or call me at 13107535664
Fins r 2 far back
Disagree.
Wrong ur wrong
@Cumsmuggler7 😂 maybe
