Making TRASH into TREASURE/SURFBOARD. Does it SURF? START to FINISH / plus SURFING in MARGARET RIVER

Didn’t think about adding scrap rail foam to the blank. Looks sick 🤙🏽

[@Shrednaught]

It was a process that’s for sure haha

[@jonimcgirr5403]

Onya bro I've been upcycling boards here in Raglan NZ...cool idea reusing rail cutoffs I often struggle to maintain widths after removing old glass...the more we embrace this the better, Chur massive

[@Shrednaught]

Awesome stuff mate. Best way to keep them outta the garbage. Yew! 🤙

[@stuartbrown3229]

What about splitting down the middle and adding a strip of foam

[@Shrednaught]

Yeh that could definitely work.

[@smallkinedings]

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.

Another great video dude! Loved the bonus surfing footage, you always wonder how the finished board goes, shame FCS spoilt the party!!! One thing that would be really helpful is some info like how much resin you mixed for particular jobs etc. Loving your videos!!!

[@Shrednaught]

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

Nice project man. Curious about you rolling on the gloss coat instead of painting it on. Is it to avoid having to sand and Polish afterwards? And are you doing epoxy or poly resin?

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

[@tradefat]

Whats the best way to get into shaping? Not many people are handing out apprenticeships! Selt taught seems to be the way most shapers started anyway? 🤙

[@Shrednaught]

Yeh you're correct. Its not a skill that is recognised as a trade so unfortunately you can't really find a way in unless you have a shaper that's willing to teach. Most people ( myself included ) are self taught and that is years of trial and error and research put it to just get a board that resembles something surf able... That was my initial reason for this channel. To help show some tricks I've learnt along the years.

I was honestly thinking the same whilst out there. He took quite a few beatings. And I don’t want this to sound derogatory because it’s not, the dude was inspiring. But imagine a caterpillar. Kinda used his chest and shoulders and snuck his legs up under. Super impressive.

[@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.

[@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.

[@garretdouglas4056]

Great effort. I found a broken longboard that I want to make into a mini Simmons. Is there a good method to peeling all the fiber glass off? Thinking of shallow cuts and pry with putty knife?

[@Shrednaught]

Thanks mate. It’s always better to try upcycle rather than just throw it out. To get the glass off you can use a dremel or jigsaw and cut very thinly along the rails. From there you can pry up. You will lose some foam so try to make sure the shape you’re attempting to get out of the broken board has enough space to allow for the lost foam. Good luck 🤙
