I PAID $30 for this foamy & shaped it into a FISH PT. 1

I bought this 6'0" foamy off marketplace a while back and I decided to try my hand at shaping a "new" surfboard from it. This is an experiment to say the least. This is my first time shaping a surfboard. I didn't add too much footage of the shaping process. I just wanted to show that it can be done. I am planning to post the glassing of the surfboard in the near future. Glassing supplies are super expensive!
Hopefully my next board will be from an actual blank without a plastic pvc type stringer.

I've been shaping since 1973. The one bit of advice I would give you is that when you are shaping rails/bottom/deck, always do every cut in contemplation of the entire shape you want to finish with. I.e. Don't shape the board in sections.

I’ve been learning that makes the process a lot easier! This first board I free handed most of everything - essentially had no idea what I was doing. I still have A LOT to learn, and that is definitely very good advice. Thank you 🙏🏽

@@paulzeye_surfboards Keep it up! Nothing better than shaping a board to fit your style.

Hi, What material have you used to fill the holes? Qcell?

[@paulzeye_surfboards]

Hey, I used a putty like filler that’s used for sealing eps boards. I don’t recommend doing that! I would just use scrap foam and gorilla glue (white) for the best results. Otherwise resin and q-cell would work, but that’d would make it harder to shape (and harder to cut in fins boxes) and add more weight! Hope this is helpful!
