Retro single fin Surfboard Shaping | Start to Finish | 100% Hand Shaped

The plan for this one was to make a retro outline with modern elements to make a nice super fun easy-going single fin. i have started with the panels on the bottom to make the rail to rail movement easy and I added a deep double concave from the 1st third of the board all the way through the single fin at the back. with full rails and a small belly at the nose that should be a super fun single to surf in 1 to 4FT waves.
Board dimensions are 7.0 X 20.5" X 2 5/8"
Stay tuned for the next video - I will show you how to make a fabric inlay!

Welcome to my channel
My name is Koby and I am a surfboard shaper from Israel
For the last 7 years, I shape and build surfboards in my small workshop and now I will expand for more great projects using Epoxy resin such as River tables, woodworking, and more. I will upload surfboard building tutorials, shaping tools reviews, and great tips about working with epoxy resin art.
All my boards are made from EPS and epoxy resin and I like to go crazy with my resin! I will do swirls using tints and pigments, cloth inlays, weird shapes, and more.
I can talk about surfboards all day, so feel free to ask me any questions you may have and I will do my very best to answer them in the best way possible

@17:52 Toda raba for ASMR :) This sound of shaping a surf board reminds me my 20's

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

You are welcome 🙏🏽🤙🏼

[@danvargo9075]

Nice looking board, I’m definitely going to try out that bottom panel technique. Keep the videos coming 🤙

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

It works great in small medium condition- i love it 🤙🏼

[@keatingcustomsurfboards185]

Nice work!!! I don’t know how you do it without the stereo blasting but very nice

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

I do LOL but the shaping sounds in time-lapse are not nice so i add a sound to the video, will be done soon 🙏🏽

Thanks 🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️

Hey Koby! Love the video, this board looks sweet. Would you recommend this style/ dims for a beginner-intermediate surfer as my first hand shaped board?

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

Yes 100%

[@michaelyorke3186]

Cool vid mate, the tape on the wall? Does it come in handy or do you not need it any more due to your skill level ?

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

It is, if the floor is flat and you stands are level too 🤙🏼

[@braconnerie]

Not planer ? Good job

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

No power tools- 100% hand shaped

[@foamhacker6396]

Welcome back. What stringer material do you use?

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

Hi James, I have built this blank myself with hot wire, I used Paulownia wood sheets 6mm thick, glued 2 sheets together so this stringer is super strong and extremely light! 230gr so I am happy with the results. because it is 12mm wide it also looks great - right?

[@foamhacker6396]

Yeah! Looks great

I really enjoy your videos. I am watching a lot of videos to learn about making boards from beginning to end before I make my first one. I like the idea of making epoxy boards because the materials are so much less toxic than PU boards and laminating resin. I know that smell is relative, but how strong is the epoxy resin odor in comparison to PU resin? I like the fact you used a disk sander to make your rail bands showing there are multiple ways to accomplish the same thing. Most shapers I see use a sure form or power planer to do em. What is the rational for using the disk sander if you don't mind me asking? I skipped around the video and I didn't see you use a power planer at all, but rather a sure form. What was the rationale for that? I really appreciate your videos, keep em coming! ; )

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

The odor is almost non existent, but you still need a mask. The disk sander is just to save time.. i like it because the disk is flat and it is good for the first panels. i am not using power planer, sure foam is my go to tool most of the times. I also use cnc machine sometimes (local surf store with my design using shape3d)

@@kobymaymonsurfboards7320 Thank you! You do good work. Thank you again for sharing it.

[@Dzjiefoils]

You say at the end of the vid, “I’m going to seal the board”. What do you used to seal it? And why do you seal it before glassing?

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

EPS board never has a perfect finish, it has millions of tyne holes that need to be sealed. I use Spackle paste, it has almost no weight, especially with the small amount we use. the purpose is that the EPS blank will not absorb the epoxy and keep the weight down. this is the professional way of building EPS boards. In the next video, I will do a very cool fabric inlay but before I will show the blank sealed and I hope it will help.

sweeeeeeet עשית דאון ריילז?

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

Thanks 🙏🏽 Normal rails, i did panels on the bottom and a double concave in between 🤙🏼

[@BadWizzardD]

where do you get your foam from?

[@kobymaymonsurfboards7320]

Hi bro, local factory here, i cut it with hot wire and also cutting the stringer my self 🤙🏼 It is 3lb EPS
