The least boring shaping video ever. A real 20 minute handshaped surfboard without any fluff.

This is just a demonstration on efficient use of the tools and what to expect when you have a game plan. Of course I take 4 times as long on my normal shaping due to measuring, measuring and more measuring and making sure that each step is perfect before I move onto the next step.

[@PaulCarterArt]

Nice time capsule of the art of hand shaping thanks for sharing

[@garretdouglas4056]

Love the use of the sander. I bet you could make one using only that tool.

[@karriedaugherty5628]

i grew up in a shaping room. this is as real as it gets. dont blink, cuz youll miss something important!!!!!!

[@wessmithp5560]

Finally someone using a circular saw...I kept wondering why anyone would still be using/spending time on a handsaw to cut shape especially considering you have an electrical outlet nearby for your planer;)

[@kazumasurfboards]

The circular saw works so much better but I think it is scarry to use for most that do not have a construction background....

[@wessmithp5560]

Kazuma Kinoshita Surfboards totally makes sense, glad I saw it done and understand it’s no problem if your comfortable with the tool. Thanks, keep it poppin!

Thank you for sharing your skills with us. I'm a new shaper and I app the videos. Congrats on your success.

[@kazumasurfboards]

Tony Smith. Thank you for the support, I am glad that my videos help you. There is usually more in them than meets the eye and it is interesting to me to see what people get from them based on experience etc. Aloha, Matt Kazuma Kinoshita

[@tillyjow8484]

I'm sure that's how the great artist of the Renaissance did their work, too.

[@lalaboards]

Excellent job Mr Kazuma-ski.

[@kazumasurfboards]

Jon LaLanne. Thank you

[@mercerbarrows3542]

That was amazing.

[@kazumasurfboards]

Mercer Barrows. thank you. Many years of perfecting my steps has led me o this place of high effu

[@Frank-pj3ic]

Great video Mr Kazuma. Where I can buy The Foam what suppor surfboard on The racks? What type of material is this? And finally , What grade of final sanding? Thanks, its great video

[@kazumasurfboards]

That is memory foam like what bed mattress are made of. I get it on Amazon. I usually finish to 180 grit.

[@LAWUFO]

Hey Matt, still waiting on my delivery from Shaper Supply! It's been a month bra! Do you believe it! LOL Btw, what size Milwaukee Fuel circular 6" or 7 1/2"? Do you like the way it cuts and do you use it often?.....Rich

[@galmeytes7174]

Gets you thinking how so little time can be put into the work, yet after paying the big 700$. consumers will keep the board and repair it till the point it rots, as if it is unexchangeable. I still keep and repair the same rusty 5,3 I got 3 years ago, and cost me 250$ second hand.

[@konadude50]

....Damn, this dude is good and fast

[@patravpatrav568]

Yeah bra i always drop two ritalin in my coffe before i shape...bzzz

[@Bido11561]

What kinda pad are you using on the Milwaukee when cutting in concaves and smoothing planer lines? Thanks

[@kazumasurfboards]

It's a softie pad from flexpad

[@Bido11561]

Thanks!

[@Bido11561]

One more, what grit paper do you have on the pad? Thanks

[@Bido11561]

Sorry and is it a 6” or 8” pad?

[@kazumasurfboards]

@@Bido11561 8"

[@placebo3273]

Mad respect!

[@olafhenke5654]

well done!

[@THSurfboards]

Master!

[@wouteroosting4687]

Is that grit 40 on the soft pad after the Hitachi?

[@kazumasurfboards]

It is 60 grit

[@TheSilverSurfisher]

WINNING!

[@lsrbm3287]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@EdWong2012]

Is it always a race or is this your normal working pace or rhythm?

[@kazumasurfboards]

This is definitely not my normal pace. I did this strictly for showing the steps, technique and process that i use without any fluff or filler. Makes for a video that will actually be watched. There was no measuring which would add 15 minutes, no looking and checking which would add 15 minutes and no fine finishing which could easily add 20 to 30 minutes.

[@Surfmus]

Good muscle memory.

[@hasadharabab950]

Bravo

[@yerawizardharry2632]

Do you glass your boards? And if so what kind of catalyst do you use

[@kazumasurfboards]

YerAWizardHarry. Yes, I use MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide) it can be found everywhere

[@yerawizardharry2632]

kazumasurfboards thanks!

[@wessmithp5560]

Literally 20 min on wall clock lol, #StrongWorkYo

[@avocadosforlunch]

Wow, whole surfboard 20min uncut. animal, literally spent 2 minuets on the rails.
