Shaping & Glassing a Step-Down Surfboard EPS blank START TO FINISH (Beginner Edition)

Follow along with me while I shape and glass this groveler. This is definitely NOT a how to video. I intended for some surf footage but due to user error that did not happen. I called this board the "heavy pour" because of its stout nature and color. The dimensions at 5'8" x 21.25" x 2.75".

    Great job. I would recommend wearing your mask while cutting the fibreglass too as the fibres get airborne just from the scissors ✂️

    Hey! Good job that’s really amazing, I have some questions about the coat, which kind of resine did u put on the board to do it ? Obrigado!

    Thank you 🙏🏽 I used the fast fuse epoxy resin system from green light surf supply for laminating and the same resin for the hot coat. I hope this helps!

    thanks for this! enjoying it! do you use multiple grits on the polinet gauze for finishing the rail bands?

    Hey, thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I usually use just one grit of the polinet (120 I believe) and finish with a 220 grit sand paper. Nowadays I’ve just been using sandpaper. Doesn’t seem to be an exact science.

    Thanks mate! Yes, I used the duplicolor automotive clear coat. Mainly to give the pin stripes longevity. Not sure if that’s the best way to do that but I figured I give it a go. Turned out great!

    Hey there, I used a dupli-color automotive clearcoat I had left over. I’m not sure if that’s what I was supposed to use vs an acrylic based spray, but that’s what I had and it seems to be holding up fine. Hope this helps.
