🎧 About This #SurfShow Podcast: Dive into the fascinating world of surfboard craftsmanship with VISSLA's Ultimate Craftsman Project, featuring the talented Travis Reynolds. This video takes you on a mesmerizing journey through the complete surfboard build process, offering an in-depth, long-cut experience. From shaping to laminating, sanding, fin building, intricate artwork, and the final polish - witness every step of the meticulous process that goes into creating a surfboard masterpiece.
Born in the surf-rich city of Santa Cruz in 1982, Travis Reynolds inherited a creative outlook from his artist parents. Growing up amidst the waves, he started surfing at Pleasure Point at the age of 10. His father's move to Hawaii further immersed him in the surfing culture, shaping the trajectory of his passion for the ocean.
At 15, Travis received sponsorship from SC surfer and shaper Michel Junod, providing him with a pivotal entry into the world of board building. This opportunity allowed him to learn the intricacies of the craft, observing and absorbing knowledge in Michel's shaping bay for three years.
After finishing high school at 17, Travis returned to Hawaii, particularly the North Shore of Oahu, where he embraced surfboard shaping. Experimenting with his understanding of board building, he worked alongside master craftsmen like Brian King, Charlie Walker, Heitor Fernandez, and Luis Souza, refining his skills over the next five years.

[@Emisurf83]

Guauuuu

[@korzent]

is the the cloth with the translucent blue an additional piece of cloth? or is it cut at the rail to be seperate from the solid pigmented color,

[@THEBOARDROOMSURFSHOW]

@korzent, you might want to ask Travis directly for the specifics of the glassing process. He could provide more insight into whether the translucent blue cloth is an additional piece or if it's cut at the rail to be separate from the solid pigmented color. Travis Reynolds' attention to detail is remarkable! 🤔🏄‍♂️ #CraftsmanshipQueries

[@jhonatanvasquezbolanos3992]

good friend greetings from Colombia good job wanted to ask you what kind of fabric is that where you apply the resin as that fabric is called?

[@emmcey]

fiberglass cloth, most likely 2 layers of 6 oz. on top and 1 layer of 6 oz. on the bottom

[@THEBOARDROOMSURFSHOW]

@jhonatanvasquezbolanos3992, a warm greeting to Colombia! Travis Reynolds' craftsmanship is truly commendable. The fabric utilized for applying the resin is commonly known as fiberglass cloth. Best of luck with your own projects! #SurfCrafting #ColombianSurfingVibes

[@emmcey]

are you really wearing $300 red wing boots to shape?

[@brentthompson5235]

I walked away from the toxic surfboard industry years ago to save my health. Hopefully these dangerous products will be banned one day and save lives.

[@adammoss2929]

Do respirators not help enough?
