Thanks mate. The first surf was way too big anyways but I had to commit with the photographer there haha. For resin it changes from board to board and mostly it’s just an educated guess when I’m about to laminate. I think green light have a good chart you can reference

Great job, really enjoyed the step by step process. I make rc planes out of foam and use a hotwire for a lot of cutting and shaping. Also wondering why you paint before glassing? Fascinating similarities and differences. Not a big fan of the rough finish, but hey, it's your call and it certainly makes me think along different lines. Do it the way that you enjoy!

[@Shrednaught]

Thanks mate. This was an experiment at best. I was hoping the paint would hide the hideous scars in the foam but it didn’t. So I went with a yellow tint and that also didn’t. So last resort I though fck it and made it look trashy. I mean it already did haha

Epic! What glue did you use to attach the extra foam on the rails? Epic paint finish! Did you roll over clear coat at the end? Sick.

[@Thestripper1]

I like it but that board deserved some glass on fins instead of the plugs.

[@Shrednaught]

100% agree glass ons are better. But this was an upcycle experiment. I used a couple of old plugs I had lying around 🤘

Thanks mate. It was an experiment so it was always going to be hit and miss. FCS basically told me it was my fault and I hit something ( when I know for a fact I didn’t ) so I told them to stuff it. The fin just blew apart under stress.

[@taradead]

Guess it was already too thin to give it some rocker and/or a decent rail...I hate knifey rails.

[@Shrednaught]

Yeh you guessed it.

[@cavanicoba]

do you use the same resin on the hot coat ? and why did you spray it if the resin had pigment in it

[@Shrednaught]

No you use sanding resin. It’s just lam resin with a wax additive to make the resin sandable. Originally I wanted to see if the yellow paint would hide the scars but it didn’t so I put some pigment into the resin.

[@card_stock_gliders]

Almost certainly a dumb question, but what's to prevent someone from piecing together some blocks of hard packing foam (the kind used for flat screen TVs and such) to make a blank? With the fiberglass resin melt it? Is it not durable enough? ... Thanks for the video.

[@Shrednaught]

Not a dumb question at all mate. Nothing really.. the only real issue is strength. The packing foam is generally a really low grade eps with large beads. The beads make it hard to get a nice smooth shape and the low strength increases snapping and heel dents. Some of those strength issues can be overcome with the appropriate glassing schedule. Also incorporating a stringer would help. Also the glue lines between pieces of foam can be an issue to shape as it’s harder than the surrounding foam. BUT I have seen it done and I personally think it’s awesome. Better than just throwing it in the rubbish.

[@Piscolli]

Hey brother, I'm Bill from Arizona. What is the best way to laminate sheets of EPS together?

[@WaveWasters]

Waves looks sick! Board might just need the right fins for that size of wave or it might be too big for it. Interested to hear what happened to the fin looks like when you delam or break a snowboard.

[@onshore1ft]

Why didn't you just grab fin with pliers and pull it out? Done it myself in similar situation. Maybe you struggled because the oard is so flat and fins are too far forward with too much toe in. Try FCS retro keels or any smaller raked fin might calm it down a bit. Still looks like fun and will grovel for sure.

[@Shrednaught]

If you see in the video the fin has only one layer of glass left. Pliers would just pull that to pieces. 3 1/2 in the nose and 2 in the tail. Fins at 8. Think it had more to do with the bottom being hardcore V and the knifey rails more than anything else

@@Shrednaught good point re the fin. I'm guilty of trying to make small twins in big surf it's a losing game! I reckon in waist high mush you'll have a blast of it. Could you notice the asymmetrical stringer?
