Awesome, thanks and glad to hear it!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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. 💖

@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.

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+.
