[@AlexandertheSurfMonster]

Thank you for sharing this! Very informative, and also kind of motivating! Excellent work!

[@SurfStrands]

Beautiful work!! Love Weber family. Used to surf for them when I was little in san clemente. I still have all my old boards, performer, pig, stylist. How much would it cost to restore a 6' board ?

[@michaelthomas366]

I had two pigs.

This is SO interesting! I have an old 60’s Dewey Weber I should have you restore it!

How did you adhere the old glass to the q cell? Did you shape the q cell down to flush and then add another layer of resin+qcell before clamping? Or was it just resin? 3:15

That’s lots of work very interesting when I was a kid growing up in westchester next to lax I had a 9.6 foot Dewey Weber surfboard it was huge wasn’t very good at surfing but sure had lots of fun..those were the days…

[@MrLbmalibu]

If you mix qcell with lam resin, wouldn’t the surface be too sticky to sand?

there is a date code that is shown in the video in pencil on next to the stringer JOJO PERRIN the original shaper mentioned in the video was 14 in 1964 and supposedly did not strart shaping surfboards until 1970? the image in pencil on the foam next to the stringer is not clear but suggests the date code to be 9-83 the five digit number before the date code suggest the model code or the 26644th surfboard shaped by the individual who signed it.

Its an 80s board. Legrope pull through plug, fin box and cockered blank

[@larscrimmann7562]

Which fillers do you have?

[@Californiansurfer]

Where you located. Downey California.

[@michaelthomas366]

I don't think you can do more to restore a board. Great skills!

[@jefflewis5559]

Don't think boards in the 60s had leash plugs. That board is more like 1990s era

[@AWBepi]

60's? I'd say 90's based on the thickness of glass and serial number.

[@Jason-TheChad-Muska_circa1995]

Why not just remove all of the fiberglass and cut out the emblem of the maker of the board clean that up and then reglass over that?

[@TheOnlyDonQuixoteDeLaMancha]

Not enough skill. Obvious rooky.

[@Caribe_]

Because it’s a restoration, you want to preserve as much of the original material used back in the 60’s otherwise is a new board, and the value decreases.

Believe in yourself, and you will succeed😎

[@larscrimmann7562]

[@jeffspicoli2643]

[@leahbrettt]

[@woutoosting9741]

Scrape rite ® ¡! Never scratches us invention, try it

[@felixespinosa7853]

lol I thought it was some kind of instrument and the lines were strings

[@KillerTacos54]

Amazing!

[@safaa9654]

I thought they were made of wood

[@surferdude8086]

In the 60s. Yes. This board is more likely shaped in the early 80s.

[@TheSurferYoda]

I own a Dave Sweet longboard made in 1958. He and Hobie were the first to experiment with foam and my 58 is foam. But it’s still about 40 lbs. so foam was around in the 60’s, but not likely fin boxes nor the through the board leash plug. I agree with Surfer Dudes earlier comment it’s most likely an 80’s board, even late 1980’s.

[@itsunlikelyforyoutoseethis9842]

This is amazing
