Raw Surfboard Laminating (shop audio)

[@marlinlikethefish]

Makes me want to go out into the workshop and build a new board! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@geronimoooooooooooo9052]

Definitely prefer these style of videos over ones with tons of music and unnecessary editing. Subscribed.

[@veronicacuesta8897]

For real. I feel I’ve watched so many videos on shaping / glassing and there so few that are even that good. Straight to the point perfect

[@Timponehawaii]

Mahalo for the feed back and subscribing! We will be sharing many more videos, thanks for watching.

[@Timponehawaii]

@@veronicacuesta8897 Thank you!

[@jimmysails994]

I enjoyed this glassing presentation. I’ve only done ding repair for surfboards but lots of boats and semi truck hoods. Loved the smell and hated the itch. Cheers.

[@TimH-m8z]

The more things change...... when I was a kid interested 80s I had a six2 skip Frye swallow tail twin fin. Looked just like that board. Best board I ever had . So much so I had a florida shaper recreat for me. Still ride it whenever it gets overhead.

[@Timponehawaii]

love that!

[@Lloydbolsagrande]

Damn good job brother !!! The most needed and under appreciated master that makes all your surfing happiness happen !!!

[@Timponehawaii]

Mahalo!! trying to show some people some of the magic!

[@birdssurfshed]

I have long admired Timpone surfboards. Having lived in San Diego my entire life and selling surfboards for 55 years I've had a chance to see occasional boards come down my way. All have had a crisp and refined shape with a quality of build which is top notch. Pretty sure he's been on Maui for many many years so the boards are not easy to come by so IF you get and to ride one or better yet purchase one you should jump on it! Bird's Surf SHED certified and approved✌

[@Timponehawaii]

Wow, Bird huge Mahalo! Thank you for the vote of confidence. Appreciate the kind words, you know more than most people the quality standards of boards through the decades. We just try to continue the board building that got us to the show to begin with. Hope to stop by the BirdShed while in Cali and maybe see you at the BRS this year, thanks brother!

[@birdssurfshed]

@@Timponehawaii I'll be at my usual booth so please do stop in if you have a chance. I'd be very happy to meet Da Man himself!

[@WhiteNacho]

Sounds like a well respected local craftsman. The kind that shape for local "good" surfers. Via con Dios! Ventura Ca.

Mahalo! Thanks for watching

[@jimbrunett9224]

Takes me back to the old days when I used to glass for McConnell surfboards. Glad to see your waring your mask.

[@Timponehawaii]

Glad we could give you some good memories! Mask is a must!!🤙

I can almost smell the resin. 🤙🏼

[@naimsain3627]

Beautiful board

[@Timponehawaii]

thank you!

[@markespich8574]

I had a helper who turned us on to the resin we use to glue white marble and other light colored stones because it won’t yellow like epoxy. He glassed most of his brother’s custom boards at Inner Rhythm surfboards. Silmar is the brand name.

[@Timponehawaii]

yes, good resin and other materials make the job that much easier. Mahalo!

[@florenth7135]

Beau travail, à part la quantité impressionnante de résine qui tombe à terre..

[@Timponehawaii]

Mahalo!

I love it!!! more of this please!! Also would be nice to post parts of sanding hot coats and finishing process :)

[@Timponehawaii]

Thank you! yes, we will be sharing much more of the WHOLE board building process

[@schreds]

was tripping when i saw all the glass going on the bottom then when u flipped the board made sense .. glassed for yrs at Ocean works and for Bill Barnfield @ Raging isle in Haleiwa , i always wrapped my rails full single bottom double top that way u get 3 layers of glass on the rail .. eggshell theory 35-40% less breakage weight isn't even noticeable .. watching this gave me that warm an fuzzy feeling u get walking into the laminating room lol . makes me want to build a board

[@Timponehawaii]

Very cool brother! We also utilize the "eggshell" method as you call it, very strong rails/boards. This board specifically is a Tow board so extra glass bottom and deck (5-6 rail wraps, tapered). stoked to get your board building juices flowing 🤙

[@Erik-rp1hi]

When I was 14 I tried to make a surf board. Bought a book and all the shaping and lay up supplies. It did not turn out very good. That was in the mid 70's.

[@Timponehawaii]

Love that! that is exactly how many of the veteran board builders learned at that time. Did you get a chance to ride it??

[@Erik-rp1hi]

@@Timponehawaii A little. I remove to much foam in the front and the resin started kicking off early so had too much resin for the amount of glass. Put it away after half dozen trips to the beach. So Ca. Redondo beach. My friends did rock break of Palos Verdes but never into the sport that far. My thing was dirt bike riding. About 7 years ago when to Kaui and rode 2 days on dirt by a company called Moto Hawaii. That was fun. Hawaiian Ice for the dirt following the "Powerline rd." bisecting the island. Very slippery.

[@billfletcher5495]

Funny, we were making our boards at the same time and age. Mine kept getting smaller during the shaping process.

[@Phil-ww1dv]

Totally awesome bit of work. Wanna ' ride a few in barrels.

[@john2097]

Skilled hands at work 👏lesson for me, don’t skimp on resin. And as with any good glass job. Preparation is key.

[@Timponehawaii]

Thank you, yes preparation and game plan help the process immensely.

DAMNED GOOD JOB, TO ME *

mahalo!🤙

[@dudeleboski2692]

I personally prefer THALCO Squeegees, those cheap Yellow ones have sharp edges, that can mark and twist the fibers. Nice video any way…,

[@jackcirrito3458]

I always used Thalco squeegees too……. And cut and thinned it down so I could bend it around the rail somewhat. I’ve noticed a lot of the videos lately with guys using something similar to a bondo spreader. I can think of a couple reasons why they may have some advantages. The sharper harder edge would make it easier to get the air out and pull the cloth tight for light glass jobs. Also that would require way less pressure than the Thalco. He was having no trouble catching edges. Nice video

[@Timponehawaii]

Thank you, yup I just learned with the "cheap yellow" squeegees. Feel very comfortable using them. I have a Thalco but haven't even used it lol. I definitely should use it as it seems to be the choice tool of experienced laminators like yourself.

[@Timponehawaii]

@@jackcirrito3458 you know how it is when you get used to a method/ tool. you learn the ways of it and master it in your own ways 🤙

[@pgcontract729]

Get those orders in Boys n Girls! If your coming to Maui .....order one and pick it up! .....Eh who is that handsome buggah behind the mask?

[@Timponehawaii]

Haha, Mahalo!!

[@marioferminio1]

What resin are you using, polyester, epoxy or vegetable?

[@Timponehawaii]

Polyester resin

[@turbowtime9611]

It would be cool if they did this with softtops, they'd never waterlog then...

[@Timponehawaii]

Then it would just be a proper surfboard!

[@willcurran4324]

What kind of sandpaper are you using? Hand shanding with the block

[@Timponehawaii]

Rhino paper 80grit for sanding the laps and sharp edges 👍

[@Frank-pj3ic]

​@@Timponehawaiidon't paste the sand? Thanks

[@stephenbrown664]

2 x 6 Oz bottom / 2 x 6 Oz deck What was the boards final weight please?

[@Timponehawaii]

3 x 6oz bottom and deck! Exact weight escapes us, but can estimate 10-12 lbs. give or take 🤙

[@loftalofta8423]

ha definitely miss the times of clark and polyester...you needed to be 5x faster if ypu were to finish in time!

[@Timponehawaii]

Yes we miss the Clarkl foam too! PS this is Polyester resin😉

Haha, no resin is not cheap. Gotta saturate 3 layers of 6oz... No dry patches!😆

[@dudeleboski2692]

@@Timponehawaii Ok the Video didn’t show 3 layers. Great video ,Mahalo nui loa

6:04 No mini rail hot coat!? Makes the board twice as difficult to snap…

[@guppyitsallgood]

Adding an extra resin coat makes it stronger?

[@dudeleboski2692]

@@guppyitsallgood More like easier to Laminate w/o the need to save resin. There are other methods out there that save resin. Watch a jack Reeves video on the Fiberglass Hawaii. YT channel for more info……

[@guppyitsallgood]

@@dudeleboski2692 cheers for the source, always curious on how pros do it.

[@Timponehawaii]

6' board, 1/2" wood stringer, 3 x layers 6oz deck and bottom... we are not concerned with this board snapping in the waves it will be surfed in.

[@Timponehawaii]

@@guppyitsallgood there are many way to laminate a surfboard. finding a method and process that YOU are comfortable with is often the best way to start. Then when you get the chance to see/learn other ways, you can incorporate them into YOUR process.👍

[@dudeleboski2692]

Mate you used ,what looks likes 2,5 kilos of resin for a bottom….

[@Timponehawaii]

Yes would rather have more resin than not enough! Saturating multiple layers of 6oz over color, I don't want dry patches/bubbles. Guestimating exactly how much resin you will need is not a perfect science. Sometimes you end up with more than you need, but again would rather have more than less.

[@MACtic1]

Don't you check the newly installed fins angle? You just used a piece of cardboard. That's not precise.

[@Timponehawaii]

its actually a 6 degree jig we use to measure the fin angle and adjust as needed. once the fins are set they should not change angle.

[@markespich8574]

Who cares what degree it is. They used to steer with their foot. Dang nice job.

[@Profabdesigns]

These young guys are wasteful and lazy as hell. If they were buying the resin and working per diem, I promise they would be a whole lot more conservative with product. Go watch Jack Reeves, now that’s a glasser and fine businessman!

[@Timponehawaii]

Yes Reeves is a master! He's been doing it for 150 yrs! In the video description we explain we're laminating 3 layer of 6oz cloth, so we need more resin than normal for full saturation 👍
