Great vid dude! I also just checked out your instagram and I love your work. The agave looks like it shapes really well. Does it behave better than balsa?
@Whitburn.Surfboards3 күн бұрын
Thanks 🙏 You know what, I'm not entirely sure as haven't ridden a balsa board before. I do have some balsa here for a future board, but that will be for the large stringer, not the entire board. They feel very similar and are comparable in weight, so if I had to guess I would say they were a fair comparison
@kaidame3499Ай бұрын
Nice looking board. What's the actual weight and approximate volume of this thing at the end? What was the density range you bought this blank in? Couldn't you have gone away with 4oz on the deck and 4oz on the bottom ... or maybe even 2oz? I mean, heal dents on the deck are not the end of the world, aren't they? And is there a way to fin out epoxy for the hot coat as it is possible with polyester resin? Cheers!

Cool vid, beautiful board. I would have like to have seen the finished coat polished, I think it gives them a better look and feel it gives a smoother flow.
@Whitburn.Surfboards3 ай бұрын
Thanks! Polished surfboards are very nice, I do agree. However, one of the downsides is that they show scratches very easily, so for me personally that's why I like a sanded finish. Thanks for watching

How does it handle on the waves? 🤔

Actually love the finished product! Very interesting choice of materials. keen on trying it out myself. I’ve built a wooden board out of redwood beams that I’ve chambered to make the board buoyant and much lighter, I think taking that approach with this material would eliminate any off gassing and also even further reduce weight. I’ve got a video on my channel how I built it, check it out if you’d like. Would love to hear what you think of it. Hope you’re getting waves mate!
@Whitburn.Surfboards3 ай бұрын
Thanks! It would certainly reduce some weight, but to be honest this wood is insanely light to begin with, a bit like balsa if you've ever got your hands on that. I'll check out your video 🙌

great looking board! i love the sentimental poppy. but how did you deal with the raised stem of the flower when sanding? you didn't get burn through?
@Whitburn.Surfboards4 ай бұрын
@@JasonLovering great question. I put a 4oz glass patch over it, and then did a hot coat over that, meaning when I sanded I could blend it all into a flat surface. It's not actually flat, but you'd need a micrometer to measure the raised bump haha

does resin not get in the box when you glass right over like that without tape? i see it often but never understood how that’s possible
@Whitburn.Surfboards10 ай бұрын
The first time I did it was by accident - forgot to tape the slot. Turns out if you saturate it carefully without flooding the slot then you can get away with it. Won't work with smaller side boxes, like futures as you'll definitely get resin in the screw hole. Thanks for watching!
