    Hey mate awesome vid, just curious about bottom contours with channels. Did you do any V at the back before putting the channels in? Or flat surface? I have a little square tail fish twinny I am shaping have done single concave through to slight V, hoping I can still put channels into this setup?

    This is amazing, thanks for sharing. I'm curious how you would deal with fin boxes if they weren't glassed on? The inside part of the future box would stick out into the channel, right?

  • @Shrednaught

    @Shrednaught

    2 жыл бұрын

    Thanks mate. The fin boxes would dictate where the channels would run so you could avoid that scenario. For example I’d mark my fin positions , route my fin boxes out and then do my channels based on the fin boxes. You can use thicker tape the same way in the video if you’re using boxes and it’ll get you past the box flange. Hope that made some sort of sense haha 🤙

    That kinda depends on the length of the board and also the fins you want to use. Upright twins will be slightly different to keels. Do a google and there is a bunch of info to read up about these placements.

    I use 3M 233+ Yeh painters tape will fall off. Make sure you clean as much dust off the board as possible either with a dust brush or air compressor and then when you have you tape down lightly press it down with the back of a razor or a pop stick. Hope that helps mate 🤙

    Is it any harder to glass a board with channels?

  • @Shrednaught

    @Shrednaught

    2 жыл бұрын

    It is more complex. When you wrap the glass around the rails it can cause the glass to “tent” up in the channels causing massive air bubbles under neath. There’s a few tricks to get around this that’ll I’ll show in the glassing video of this board 🤙

    They can add some bite through the tail section when engaging. Or help hold through the suckier barrel type sections. This is subjective though. I personally am not a huge fan as I find they feel stiff. But it’s always up to the rider 🤙
