Did I just ruin a classic or make a cool new surfboard?

[@tomsmith8467]

Great recycling! I surf for over 40 years and it bothers me a lot seen old boards going to the garbage. What you do is absolutely great!

[@Rogue_wave]

Thanks Tom!

[@Anthony-uz5tj]

when i was a kid my step brother would always bring them home if he seen one in the trash and my dad would fix them i only spent summers there but we had tons of different boards to choose from we hit the beach every weekend to paddle out

[@art1oc]

Great job showing how simple a process this can be. no more old boards going to landfill! Simply a cheaper blank ;)

[@Rogue_wave]

Exactly dude! Blanks cost $60 bucks now and some of these old boards are going for $20-40 on offer up.

[@Rogue_wave]

And thanks

[@dacat8171]

I would not call it simple. Reshaping a board needs practice. It is neither the cutting nor the sanding, it is the dimensioning that demands skill.

[@troy6153]

I like how Yu made a repucla of dude I thought you where just going to change it looks awsome just of gave it to your uncle

[@briang7985]

While the actual shaping process is not exactly “simple” it does open up a few questions. Should we br taking more old boards back to your local shaper (who arent using robots to shape) and having them refurbished, rather than new blanks?

[@njonebale7889]

That’s just awesome! I did the same thing once to a old board, stripped it down and reshaped it a little and glassed it back up with the same fins, didn’t look as nice as yours, but my daughter rides it now…great video, thanks for showing it!

[@kevinnoble7532]

I live in Orange County and love the fact that you created an app for people that need repairs. Even though I love repairing my own boards, I can still support it! Love the videos man

[@pascal469]

Dude that paint sprayer makes a world of difference compared to the rattle can special. Cant wait to see what else you do with it. Also so sick how you recreated the original livery of the board and kept that for the remodel.

[@Rogue_wave]

Thanks dude! I was nervous to use that sprayer but was super happy with the results. Probably never going back to rattle cans now!

[@randyparker8590]

I build boards myself.alls I gotta say is your craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb!! Unbelievable!!

[@Rogue_wave]

Thanks, much appreciated Randy!

[@EDWARD_KOENIG_ARCHITECT]

This brought back memories. I built two boards 17 years ago just to see if I could figure it out.....before KZbin. I had some crumby books to follow. Learned a lot, but learned more from your video. Dam fun to watch.

[@Rogue_wave]

Thanks Edward! You still have those boards?

[@theayatollahofrockandrollah]

great job...love how you brought back the old graphics and that fade from yellow to green to blue is so old school I want that on my car

[@gregoryhoover2388]

Don't sweat the thought of "ruining a classic" because in time, this entire planet will be microscopic particles of space dust, then reformed into another planet, and other creatures, or possible a sun. And in the meantime - awesome board creation dude! Also loved the music - especially the bongos at 4:33

[@Rogue_wave]

Ha! Thanks.

Excellent. Makes me think more about a No Work Team 6'4" Tri Thruster I'd like to repair and repurpose for my daughter over the next few years. Will have to do some research on dimensions/shape etc...

Neat restoration/reshaping of that board! You have amazing skill and patience!

[@scottg3076]

Nice job resurrecting that board. I like seeing the traditional board making skills still going strong.

[@Rogue_wave]

Thanks Scott!

[@MicBergsma]

Oh man love that board, perfect to strap on my 67 vw bus roof racks!

[@bmartinot]

Sick video. I've never glassed a board board done many repairs and I've learned a lot from watching your vid. You make it look so easy!

[@Rogue_wave]

Thank you! You should make a board! Best way to learn is to do.

[@UncleDeppy]

Beautiful man, I love to see the process you take

[@danolds1313]

Respect for keeping the old stickers and emblems 👍

[@mikeuptegrove]

That was rad. Great work. Love how you kept it all as original as possible and with the paint and graphics. 🤙🤙🤙

[@mikegarrett861]

A++ A good fade job & killer old Katin logo's....! Keep on Rippin"

[@cyberjetx]

Brah!! That board is way happier in the curl than in the attic or worse the dump. Great job on the resto and recycle!!

[@matthewwillis4892]

Tip: Glue foam with foam. I use two part foam to glue either EPS or Poly foam or just the two part by itself to fill large voids

[@amateurmakingmistakes]

Thanks for showing this! I made a board about 25 years ago (my 4th and last) and used brand new foam blank and fresh resins (of course!) but old colouring that was probably over a decade old already. Big mistake! The resin set like chewing gum and didn't set properly. Watching your vid, now I've got an idea of how to resurrect it - if I ever do. Vote for: you made a cool new surfboard!

[@jakejacobson2999]

Such a satisfying video! As a fellow craftsman I really respect your work and passion! Great content and keep it up

Bro a massive thumbs up👍 I love seeing my 80's and 90's style boards back to life. Awesome work and so rad to see you kept the theme of the board. Keep up the rad work and keep ripping from Oz🦘🏄🤙 yeeeewwww!!!

[@Rogue_wave]

Yeww thanks Jono! I miss Oz, I lived on the goldie around 2012 for a few months. Such sick memories surfing south straddie and snapper. Mental waves!

[@jonowoodgo]

@@Rogue_wave my pleasure and a big cheers brotha🤙🏄... Hahahaha that's so rad to hear....6° of seperation. I lived in main beach and Currumbin (shark alley😅) for a while at 16yo.('93😅) Rad waves, rad temps to surf in boardies and feel loose and free all over. Definitely some good times and waves and memories for me too. My main coast is down south Torquay,jan juc, bells, cathedral and Lorne. I grew up watching Wayne Lynch next to me in the line-up doing backhand Rio's over me while i was duck diving lol. And cause i was on his board (roar surfboards) he'd call me supergrom or hell grom. So there's my attachment to old boards and shapers and rad memories of those boards, times, colours, vibes and just that era in general. A gen X era hahaha. Love ya work brotha❤️💯🤙i shaped when i was young for work experience with my board sponsor and as a massive toxic waste we need to do more upcycling of boards. I chop old 6 footas and make them 5'4" or 5'5" round noses and now I'm getting a quiver... slowly.😁 See ya out there one-day 😉🏄 A big YEEEEWWWW!!!🤙

[@aliaskong1723]

I made a board once...you can still hear the laughter in the lineup at Yokohama.

[@jaysmartin]

Yiuvgave that board a new lease if life, sick job on the spray and inlayed stickers

[@lirider3932]

Lot of effort and hard work. Craftsmanship. Sucker for those mid 80's boards. Mostly for the stickers and color as it brings me back. Now you got a lil' shredder instead of an attic dweller!

[@mackash]

In the 90s i did this with an old 60s single fin pin. Made a board for my little grom brother out of it. Never realized they would become collectors items now. Every 2nd hand shop was full of old single fin pins back then. Man i used to love riding barrels on them old things.

[@Rogue_wave]

I always say, if a board isn’t being used it’s truly worthless… there’s obviously a few exceptions (true collectors items, etc) but I think a lot of people get weirdly attached to old boards out of nastalgia. Chop em up, ride em again!

[@joeytosic9690]

theres a difference between ruining a board and doing a board up, mate you did an awesome job 🤙

I noticed you store boards in your attic... have you ever experienced delam or any other issues from storing them up there? I have lots of boards and have run out of storage room...

[@Rogue_wave]

Most of the boards up there are already delammed or dinged up! You should be alright with poly. Epoxy boards might delam from heat.

[@JoeKyser]

I say bad idea to lay the stickers down. now it wont bond to the board where the stickers are at. that can be an issue

[@Rogue_wave]

Hey Joe they aren’t stickers, the logos are printed on rice paper and the resin soaks right through it onto the foam.

How big were the waves u surfed? And whats the Liters of the boards

[@Rogue_wave]

Waves were very small, about 2 feet. My estimate on volume is probably 27 liters. I don’t know for sure.

[@jezlucas3878]

Amazing job

[@HawaiianSurfTV]

the fin boxes are suppossed to be installed before you airbrush...so there is strength in the fins by being set underneath the glass.

[@Rogue_wave]

You mean before I laminate? If I installed them prior to airbrushing I’d be airbrushing the lam.

[@HawaiianSurfTV]

​@@Rogue_wave...most board builders do this...shape the board...route the fin boxes...airbrush the foam board. then set the fins. put tape over the fin boxes. when you glass the bottom of the board the fins are under the glass layers of the board and have more break strength. when you finish hotcoating the board you just sand the fin boxes and screw holes open.

[@HawaiianSurfTV]

futures and fcs2 are designed with a little lip on the boxes...so the glass layers come over the majority of the finbox when laminated under glass but remain flush with the shape of the foam.

[@HawaiianSurfTV]

this is also true with the futures leash plugs and certain fcs leash plugs, i believe its the mini one.
