How to make a longboard - out wood, starring Greg Noll, Doc Ball, LeRoy Grannis and Lorrin Harrison
Wow. This vid is pretty awesome for those into surfing nostalgia. (And we all are, ain’t we!). Here you’ll see a bunch of old guys (old guys rule blah blah blah) carving, literally, a log out of…a log. They even start the project with a massive chisel. This vid must be from the mid-80s or [...]
1962-63 Hobie Longboard Possibly Shaped by Mike Hynson
There’s all sorts of cool shiz on Craigslist this time of year, but this one takes the cake - a very cool story follows. This guy in San Diego is selling a 1962 Hobie Alter Longboard, pictures shown here.
The size is roughly 9″8″. Says our intrepid Craigslist seller: “When I got this board I was [...]
Time-lapse surfboard shaping
Very cool video where you see blank to shortboard ready for glassing. Nicely done. Two minutes of my day got me stoked - it’ll get you stoked, too.
Here fishy fishy - a surfboard shaping time lapse video
Fish shapes. They’re back. And here you can witness one being shaped by Rick Malwitz surfboards. These time lapse surfboard shaping videos are rad, and give a good glimpse into what it takes to shape a surfboard. In this case, a little fish.
Carboard Surfboard Core Time Lapse Video
This time lapse video is, with no doubt, the coolest time lapse surfing-related video I’ve seen. Watching this was almost like sex almost like getting barrelled. So cool. Don’t ding this log, but yeah, pretty damn cool. Watch for yourself:
Fish surfboard - made of cardboard
I love this video. It’s not easy to figure out where the shape is going - but without ruining the surprise, it’s a great little small surf summer board. Anyway - this is shaping and surfboard, and making a puzzle, all through a time-lapse lens:
Surfboard boardbag fees aren’t going down anytime soon
Given that surfboard boardbag fees aren’t going down anytime soon, and I’m heading to Costa Rica, what I really, really need is a board like this that can collapse into two pieces. Not a longboard, but a shortboard. You may have seen this board somewhere as a concept board, a carbon fiber collapsible surfboard or [...]
Home Depot Surfboard Shaping Project - Part 2
Readers will know that I was intent on shaping a surfboard out of pink foam insulation. I went to Home Depot, and bought 2″ and 1″ pieces. Once home, I mixed up a batch of epoxy and sandwiched it between the two pieces of foam; placing the thinner sheet on top. To guarantee good adhesion [...]
Home Depot Surfboard Project - A surfboard shaping story - Part 1
There is a shared ritual for anyone who puts their hands on a surfboard for the first time. First, you’ll feel the smooth contouring of the rails, then sight down the stringer, dance our finger tips over any bottom contours, flip it over a few times and then ask: “How’d they make this?” These days, all [...]
Kelly is at it again
No, he’s not dominating the tour (at least, so far…), he’s making boards with crazy recipes one would use to make special yogurts (yummy)! This time, he’s fusing the natural shape of a manta ray with his recent designs such as the Wizard Sleeve and the Tangent. How does this thing ride? [...]
