Surfboard Glassing [Longboard]

[@crazycressy7986]

When I was 18 I wanted to become a shaper on the SW coast UK ,my life was surfing longboards and being in the sea ,not big waves just 3 foot clean easy rides to cleanse the mind ,long story short did my back in while surfing and now at 53 still watching vids ,you sir have great skills in your hands🤙🤙

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@malmannz]

Never to late...just finished my second board @61...neck fusion, lower spine issues, arm pain...give it a go, great therapy. Built latest over 5 weeks in covid lock down.

[@crazycressy7986]

@@BendheimBoards wish I could get back in the water but I have 2 bulging discs and arthritis on my verts and I am taking 8 codeine 30/500s and 4 anti inflammatory tablets a day just to take away the pain and the top of my right leg is numb ,this all happened when I was surfing ,but I might have a go at body boarding just so I can get that rush from that first ride again 🤙🤙

[@BendheimBoards]

@@malmannz Glad to hear it, helps give perspective!

[@BendheimBoards]

@@crazycressy7986 Dang! Any means to get back in the water is worth it.

I know nothing about surfing, or surfboards, but I consider my time watching this video 13:09 very well spent. That was awesome!

[@BendheimBoards]

Love it! Thanks for the feedback!

[@chloegriffiths6600]

Honestly watching these videos is therapeutic. I haven't had the best day so to watch this and then feel better, really helps me out. Keep up your awesome work ❤️

[@BendheimBoards]

Stoked to hear it! Thanks for the feedback 🙏

I know nothing about surfing, and I don't know why KZbin thinks I needed to see this. But I do know talent and beauty when I see it. This is one time when I'm thankful for their random suggestion.

[@BendheimBoards]

Awesome, thanks and glad to hear it!

[@philiphalverson4795]

That is the prettiest surfboard I have ever seen! Kudos to the builder.

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks 🤙

[@johngrant5936]

After 40 yeras of surfing, I have a new appreciation for the art of boardmaking. Thank you.

[@zedwolf1589]

I always loved skateboarding being a city kid road them around to my late 40's then came down with Lyme Disease and I'm still upset that I never got to try surfing but the arthritis and nerve damage is so bad I have days I can hardly walk. But I see things like this and it brings me happiness. Always been good with working with my hands and art so I can really appreciate watching this and all the work put into this.

[@doodleydoo169]

4:32 I like how the bucket does absolutely nothing yet you committed to it, hell yeah!

[@BendheimBoards]

Haha can't argue with that, the intention was better than the execution

[@boblevey]

Great work. I’m a woodfinisher and teacher of the craft now with over 50 yrs working in some the most prestigious homes and projects in the US and ex-surfer. No one unless they’ve done it knows what goes into great craftsmanship. Great job!!!

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback and glad you can relate!

[@jacksonv672]

I can picture the ocean and palm trees just outside your shop. Nice vid.

[@chrismaggio7879]

Felt good to watch that. As an artist I appreciate the variety of skills needed to so "easily" make this work of art happen. A truly beautiful thing to see take shape, so anyone who wonders why some boards cost so much... this is why. And worth it.

[@BendheimBoards]

🙏

[@nitroeze]

I just sat through this entire video...and enjoyed every second!! I've done plenty of fiberglass repair, and epoxy work on river tables etc... but nothing this cool! Nice video! And great job!

[@marksykes630]

Man, what a pretty board. One to be proud of.

[@joeldelavega768]

One of the coolest art forms on the planet.

[@AudioInstruments]

This is what it's all about! That's one of the best looking boards I've ever seen. Beautiful job.

[@bob-uk2hw]

Thank you for that! To qoute the other person it is therapeutic. I had no idea that much work went into a board. Your a hard worker which from my grandpa was a major compliment 😀

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks! Glad to hear it!

[@redsolar7]

I have never thought about how the boards are made, really interesting process. Quite a lot of work in producing a master piece.

[@kole6146]

Nice. The board reminds me of the boards from the 80s and early 90s when shapers used bright neon colors. I had one with neon orange stripes when I was a kid.

[@BendheimBoards]

Right on, glad to bring back some memories!

[@Honeyhound]

I don't surf. But I'm surprised at how much work you put in. Awesome.

[@malmannz]

Great skills...and awesome vid. Double cut lap tricks there for sure, that l will do nxt time, if make another. Just finished my second board at 61, waiting for swell to drop for my 9'9.5"...shaping boards had been on my list for the 47 years of surfing..As some have said watching and building boards is very therapeutic..totally agree. Our sheds motto-" what could possibly go wrong."

[@BendheimBoards]

That's awesome, I hope I'm still in the shaping bay at 61! This is my creative outlet, so I can relate!

[@gordonquigg9389]

You were killing me grinding the laps with that drill. I almost stopped the video halfway through to comment and say, you know, those Makita Sanders are a dream and have way more control in all stages of glassing, but I held back cringing, then all of a sudden there you are blazing away with a Makita. I really like your lap width gauge. It's clean and neat. Most of the ones I've seen have been crafted out of a broken board, but they amount to the same thing. The blind box drop with a brick is pretty risky. I always use a dedicated straight and true fin to set the boxes. Can't afford to have one croocked fin box. But not saying you don't have it wired. I've been building boards for 60 years, and I'm giving this finished board and your craftsmanship an A+.

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you can relate! So many ways to get to the final product. Thanks for watching 🤙

[@carlolson2698]

This is probably the absolute most goregous board I've even seen fantastic job man

[@chadhildwein2178]

this randombly popped up on my feed and now I really want to get into shaping and building my own boards.

[@johnharrison2466]

Sweet longboard,got my first one in 76 friend brought it from Hawaii to me you have a great talent

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks! 🤙

[@robashton5254]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen! What a master!

[@jim5549]

Another beautiful board! Everyone of your projects comes out so good it's hard to see how each new one can get even better! Looks like you've solved the masking issues - good on you!. Nice to have an assistant in the bay with you too! Thanks for sharing.

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks Jim! Appreciate it. Yes the tape lines did improve and I found a better tape to use. My wife was a great assistant on this one!

[@BendheimBoards]

@Lord Riggnarok Not sure, never tried! There is a brazilian company called surfpuro making fiberglass skateboards that has seemed to figure it out.

[@BendheimBoards]

@Lord Riggnarok You can pour resin on a skateboard deck and move it around with a heat gun. But the resin could crack if your actually riding it, not sure.

[@Broken0152]

Beautiful. Craftsmanship, talent, passion and skills. Nice video to go along with the work of art. Thank you

[@JessicaRyan7of9]

Really enjoyed watching you do this. The colors of this are very calming and relaxing.

[@BendheimBoards]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brianaschmidt910]

Clicked on this because I legit thought that he was cutting a glass bottom into the board. And I was so stoked about surfing a tunnel that it's a little hard to not be disappointed. Great board though. Good job.

[@norman-gregory]

Hi...Beautiful. You sir. are in the right profession. Thanks for the invite, a classic board with a contemporary look and appeal. Very clever. Cheers, and good team work!

[@jenavanfrankenhuijsen6346]

Beautiful Board! The smell of resin is so nostalgic to me! Reminds me of my father making surfboards growing up. He had built a clean room in the garage and the whole house would smell of resin when he was glassing. 💖

[@BendheimBoards]

Yup! Totally stinks up the garage! Glad to bring back memories for you.

[@goodvibes-pw9xlVR]

I can watch you work for hours. So calming !👌

[@Bierz808]
