Jimmy Lewis Workshop Tour on the Blue Planet Show Episode #31

[@Jeroensurf]

Loved the podcast with Jimmy and this part2. Awesome to see how open he is and willing to share his knowledge.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thank you, yes it's amazing how he does not really hold anything back.

Outstanding interview, Robert, with an absolute legend.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thank you, yes Jimmy is a legend 🤙🏼

[@tedp3408]

Jimmy is awesome. Every board from the 80s to kite surfing that I’ve had of his has been ahead of the times. Thanks for sharing

[@blueplanetsurf]

Couldn't agree more!

[@foilsurfmachines]

Some glassers are against having any acetone in epoxy shops. It’s a pathway to blood poisoning. White vinegar works well and is safe for cleaning tools, if done while epoxy is still sticky. I love using white vinegar

[@blueplanetsurf]

That sounds great, will try it out

[@foilsurfmachines]

@@blueplanetsurf I put the vinegar in a spray bottle. I clean tools and sticky spots on my arms and feet with it. I lam in sandals, haha,

Spending an hour listening to a legend shaper - thanks again for the interview!

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thank you for the comment!

[@kennethadgate]

awesome to see where the magic happens from one of the shaping legends.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes indeed!

[@nicokux1587]

Sweet. Thanks for sharing. Amazing how after shaping protos away from the mainstream for the last 40+ years in my little workshop, Jimmy has techniques and theories that I also use and that were learnt through trial and error. PS The hotwire setup needs a converter from AC current to DC current before the dinner switch. Thats how the wire will get hot , otherwise it will just pop a fuse. Regards from Mauritius

[@blueplanetsurf]

That's a good tip, thanks for sharing.

[@DavidFoxDotCom]

All the best for the SUP book project!

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thank you, it feels a bit overwhelming but I'll just tackle it a bit at a time.

[@fishcakes2]

Wow that was very interesting!

[@blueplanetsurf]

Glad you think so!

[@ptj6412]

Jimmy is genuine!! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@blueplanetsurf]

No doubt!

[@surfcrazy7]

Thanks Robert for sharing and a special thanks to Jimmy as well. The world would be a much better place if people were as open as he is, people working together, instead of creating patents and doing anything for money. Great work /claes

[@blueplanetsurf]

I totally agree!

[@leebonfiglio]

Great video...I love to hear design theories.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thanks, it’s great to talk about design with Jimmy. As he would say: it’s not my opinion, it’s just physics!

[@paulstebbings1309]

Brilliant … it’s great how JL is so open with his knowledge .. excellent

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thanks, yes, plus he has a good sense of humor.

[@walterbunso3675]

Whats the video where you explain how and why different shapes work that jimmy was talking about.

[@blueplanetsurf]

I'm pretty sure he's talking about this video, at about 8 minutes in I talk about downwind board shapes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XYeHh4ZrSLsKssi=TPFqzjtvqPnR7b-Z

[@joeblow1942]

The audio is really harsh. Just letting you know.

[@blueplanetsurf]
