How to Build a Stand Up Paddle Board for Surfing | SUP Surf

[@douglasnoren3348]

Another excellent video….I am curious as to why you cut out and then replaced foam in the fin and leash plug areas? Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Thanks! The foam I used for the main part of the board is 1.5lbs/ cubic foot. That can be a bit too weak for the larger fin and for the leash plugs (or adding extra glass). So the foam insert is 2lbs/ cubic foot, I should have mentioned that in the video.

[@douglasnoren3348]

Thanks for the answer Andrew! I have to say that I’ve been trying to locate some of the foam and Home Depot doesn’t carry it in Fla. and won’t order it….I’ll keep looking!

[@AndrewWorkshop]

@@douglasnoren3348 hmm might be because there isnt as much of a need in fla for insulation products lol. Try looking up places that sell foam for packaging, they have to cut large blocks down to different sizes.

Man that latex paint thing is AMAZING! Its strong, easier to apply, easier to work, and less noticeable since its white. Bloody brilliant! I've only made two boards (almost) so far but next one will definitely be latex paint method over polyurethane for foam joining. I am just fininshing (now sanding before gloss coat) on a 5'10" shortboard made from many many pieces of scrap foam. The polyurethane joins were numerous and veryvpainful. This would have made it oh so much simpler. Oh well...the more you know.

[@TheChriscarr1210]

Voluminous may be the word you are looking for 😊 Great video as always.

[@AndrewWorkshop]

😃

[@ramiroorozco4176]

loove that foam top with the diamond pattern, I bought a roll of similar material from Amazon Put it on a hybrid longboard, loved it : )

[@tilebro]

What a great video! Very well put together 🤙🏽 thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

[@lawrenceveinotte]

oh this is great, going to check out my home depot tomorrow after work.

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Depending on the location of the HD there might be different brands.

[@Thunder-xo1cx]

Very nice Video i got a question ehat are the vent plugs for

[@wills3212]

What resin did you use for the glassing it had a blue look ? Great video

[@darinmbicknell]

Pretty board.

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@WilliamGushulak]

where did you purchase the "sandblaster sanding block" can't find one anywhere?

[@dijkx1]

Don’t you tape the finboxes and leash plug holes before glassing? Won’t there be resin in the boxes?

[@vqfive]

How did you keep the resin from filling into the vent plugs and skeg plugs when you laminated over them?

[@Fmonnav]

Excellent hub … great……

[@davidherbert8493]

How much do u think it weighs??

[@happylucky2288]

Hay ❤

[@DGG.85]

Low density is the phrase you’re looking for

[@abahenol1]

what paint do you use?

[@demetrioloddo1341]

What kind of paint? Poliurethane?

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Water based latex/acrylic

[@JeremyParsons]

You have a hot wire cutter but you hardly used it !

[@andywhiteing]

Why no narrative to say what you are doing or why you are doing it? I am at 27:00 and not sure why or what your are doing?

[@primeracalidad8320]

Price didn't include most important expenses. Cost of square footage of shop space and maintenance and taxes of that space. Cost of tools required or wear and tear costs on those tools per board.

[@zizlaziz]

What's the difference between hot coat and glass coat?

[@andreadedea]

Great video! I’m new to this kind of stuff, why do you need to install vent plugs on a foam board? Sorry if it is a stupid question..

[@DEGUELLO0311]

why did you cut out the insert areas, just to put foam pieces back in them ?

[@oliwBreizh]

Hello, I take the liberty of writing to you because I have a question about the paint you put on your board. Is it just acrylic? Or you add epoxy to the paint. Thank you for your videos French friendships

[@joshuamccredie1613]

I love how he takes time to tell us what to use to build the boards that he makes

[@yuyobravo2768]

What sealer did you use? Thanks for the tutorial

[@klevergiubertorodriguezpic2587]

Hola cómo soy de Ecuador y fanático de tus vídeos me puedes ayudar en donde encuentro ese programa para. Sacar las hojas marcadas. Con el modelo. Para sacar el molde. O blans gracias. Por. Los vídeos soy muy instructivos

[@Wookiemonsterfreak]

I guess, plus tools, that is I make one. I will search your vids for tools. I retired my old iSUP due to the drop stitch delaminating and bubbling out like it was having a baby. Unfortunately, no baby came 9 months later. It’s about a decade old or more, and they just don’t male them like this, or at least what I can find. It’s a surf style, narrow with lots of camber, like a banana. I loved riding it in white water and not interested in getting a modern one or ordering a specialized one up from the US. Making would be an addiction that might pay off in time, maybe, and I would be able to play around with different designs.

[@donfrazelle7752]

Great build video ! I'm getting ready to do a DIY SUP for my granddaughter for use this summer. Will be my first time doing so. Quick question about a segment of the sequential steps to your process. 1st: the yellow latex acrylic paint is applied direct to the dry styrofoam ? 2nd: you use the 'polyfilla' liquid sealer at this step to create a layer of separation (barrier?) btw the foam and the fiberglass cloth ? 3rd: it appears you lay down the cloth dry then apply resin. Do you not pre-wet the foam side w resin to better accept the cloth ? Or do you just apply resin on top of the cloth and work it in ? (assuming the dried Polyfilla sealer bonds well to resin soaked cloth w/o needing to be wetted first ?) Thanks for you reply !

[@timlayzell5093]

I absolutely loved this video. I have built a few short boards for river surfing and am doing research for my first ocean sup surfboard. Great format with enough info to follow along but not too much info that you get board.

[@jacobclark89]

I need advice installing a bow eye in a epoxy foam raven paddle board. I plan to pull it behind a electric recumbent bicycle , with a yeti cooler and some ice and drinks on top while towing, I plan to have two bicycle wheels at the back. I have 4 tie points up front but need a tie point at the very front and it has to be strong. My plan is to either drill a horizontal hole large enough to glue a piece of carbon fiber tube with like a 6" set back from the tip from side to side of the board or drill a long hole at the bow to glue in a stainless eye bolt. Can someone please give me some suggestions please. Thanks

[@javierschaerer909]

Hi andrew, I've seen these videos a couple of years ago, but at that time for personal reasons and did not fully understand the construction he left aside. Now, I am involved in this topic, I have seen a lot of your explanation and it is spectacular. I've one important question left (perhaps more, hahahaha), how to make the rocker template?, I've seen that you have made the one at the top, but I don't know how to make the sides, also this leads to subsequent sanding of the curvature

[@anthonyregner6332]

Excellent video. I'm prepping to build a SUP. It'll be my first board build though I do have a little experience with laminating fiberglass/epoxy on plywood. I've found your videos to be both informative and entertaining. What did the weight of this board come out as? How does XPS compare weight wise?

[@iamtomfool]

How do you know where to place the fin boxes? Distance from tail, sides etc. I cant find any resource on this.

[@ecomarinebd]

Carbon fiber stringer is having equal strength with ply wood spine stringers?

[@Surfmus]

Man, I'm still tried from my last shape. Seen this made it worst. Lol. Is all fun when in the water though, pay off time feeling that's for sure.

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Haha I hear you. The fun is in getting to try a finished board in the water!

[@rabwilson6974]

Where did you get that hot wire cutting tool? If you made it, how did you make it?

[@АлександрГречко-я2ы]

Hello. I really love watching your video. I really like your work. 1. Please tell me what kind of plaster (sealer) do you use - company, composition? Is it acrylic and water based? 2. What type of yellow paint did you use? Is it acrylic based and water based? 3.And please the composition and description of the polystyrene foam glue. Can you post a detailed photo of the packages with the composition and description. or links to these products. There are no such products in my country and it is necessary to select onalogs according to their composition and description. Thanks.

[@taliqanni]

Tanks for sharing your experience. It helps me a lot. 🙏

[@gorila1958]

I've watched lots of your videos and was wondering when you 1st started how many times did you make errors mistakes . Just in general give or take get ugly results in your builds?

[@wilderramonvelasquezherrer7153]

Excelente trabajo estimado Andrew, saludos desde Perú

[@michaelhearn3831]

Where’s your mask..?.....sanding foam with no mask is mad...😳great work and information..surfing isn’t big here in London but a great watch...👍🏻😂🇬🇧

[@ecomarinebd]

May I have the design plan from you please?

[@diehardsandman]

Great Job on the video and the SUP. I have been watching building Wood SUP's and Foam. after watching your video I think I will attempt a foam board. I really like the look and the way yours came out!

[@lesliemc3043]

What is the tool that you used to cut/shape the foam? Did you make it or purchase it?

[@morkusmorkus6040]

Dude you cant just go depriving us of the most satisfying part of the painting process...the pulling off of the tape to reveal a crisp clean line. Cmon now haha

[@juergensplieth6068]

Thx for sharing this video, I built some kitewaveboards with eps and used PU glue. For my next winterprojects I will try the latex glue, it looks very easy to handle! Best regards from the Baltic Sea

[@TallmanSE]

Great job! How would you join EPS if you were making a longer board? Glue with paint as well?

[@activeseasons]

You over spent

[@grzesiekhallomoto5920]

Andrew, do you know a company that's not Chinese and sells decent wing foil boxes? I have a carbon sup which I would want to transform to a wingfoil board, but when I search for foil mounts everything looks Chinese (soft foam on aliexpress). Awful.

[@michaelhearn3831]

I also think you should have put the strip down the middle on the top as well 🤷🏼‍♂️ continuity as it just stops at the front and back 🤷🏼‍♂️.... see I’m an expert watching you Andrew.😂🤣😂

[@mavisevda]

What will be the cons of pros of using 1 lbs/ft3 foam? starboard sup company uses 15 kg/m3 foam

[@vientovivas8343]

Hello!! Would you use the latex paint to glue XPS foam as well?? Thanks! I love your Vlog

[@yamabiru4553]

Impressive

[@walleyehunter8862]

Nice work , You seem to know what your doing ! Do you think 1 ply would be enough to put on an inflatable boat floor ! I want to be able to put my coffee on a level ground while fishing !! Thanks

[@fishmut]

Very nice build , this stand up paddle board would be very nice for a bigger heavier guy than you , so all is not lost at least you know now what you need for lighter and a heavier board when you make them , love the video . Awesome. 👍

[@ticarloleite6074]

Whats up broo!! The gloss do you make with resin epoxy or poliéster ?

[@alknis]

Отлично получилось. Подскажите пожалуйста, какую вы использовали краску для склейки.

[@odiggler]

Great videos! Love your thorough explanation

[@carterrobertson2989]

Great job on the board. Is there a reason that you didnt put a spine in this one?

[@CediEntertainment]

I wonder why EPS it soaks water XPS does not

[@ВладимирФедосеев-и7ъ]

Perfect work , like from Russia .

[@Pr1mitiveHunter]

How much epoxy did it take to do the complete board?

[@OU8Aspark]

Did the sanding make it take 40 hours?

[@Vitosikus]

Really enjoying :-) Thanks!

[@francescoamadei56]

Bellissimo lavoro! Grande! Un saluto dall'italia!

[@michelbelanger798]

I enjoy looking at your video. Its been a few months since you built your SUP, what is the status on its visual aspect? Since you used water based paint to glue your EPS foam, is it still sturdy as the first day you built it?

[@Surfmus]

Once glassed it'll be capsuled and sturdy even though some people/surfers say the boards loses it's pop. IMO polyboards do lose it same as skateboard decks, but I have not felt a lose of pop in my epoxy boards. Now in the PU/Poly full mode though.

[@naturesdecode375]

thankyou so much i learn a lot

[@shoresunlimited6368]

Nice job

[@HAB378]

will you ever 3d print a SUP board?

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Be a good challenge, maybe but it would be really heavy!

[@ranjan789]

Hi Andrew, what is the curing time between glassing. After how many hours can start working on the other side ? Thanks

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Depends on the temperature but at room temperature (23C), around 5-7 hours. If the temp is between 23-30C, cut that time down another hour or 2.

[@ranjan789]

LOTS of resin!

Yes so much!

[@gorila1958]

Was it tite bond 2 glue ?

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Water based latex/acrylic paint

[@seanrphill]

@@AndrewWorkshop could one use this on XPS foam? Thank you Andrew. I Love your videos. So informative. You rock.

[@AndrewWorkshop]

@@seanrphill Thanks! It might work but i suspect it would take a few days to dry because XPS doesn't have a bead like structure so air doesn't travel between the sheets of foam. I'd test it on a sample and also keep the layers of paint thin to reduce drying time.

[@dariofreijanes]

Hi, excellent video, im going to start my own DIY SUP this weekend, not so fancy, but to see how it goes. What did you use to seal the foam? Thanks in advance

[@AndrewWorkshop]

I used Polyfilla Big hole filler, best sealer I have used, if you can find it. It matches EPS perfectly and is light. If you can't find it you can use dry wall spackling but you might have to paint it afterwards to match the color. Good luck!
