Long Fish Surfboard Lamination Colour Resin Tint Glassing Midlength How to Laminating GoPro Hero 12 

Thanks for this, much appreciated. I did ask myself am I giving too much away but decided its better to pass knowledge on. The aim was also to show those who don't know how boards are made just how much time and preparation goes into them. Many mistakes have been made to get to the point where I am today 😆

Hi Joe, yeah I do eyeball it. It will sometimes take a few attempts until I am happy. Once I pull the tape up I find it kinks the tape so have to start again with fresh tape. I check the nose and tail quickly with a layout square aswell to check the laps are the same width. If your doing longer boards try a 2" tape to practise as the wider tape allows you to lay a smoother curve. I will go into a bit more detail on my next vid. Thanks for watching.

@@electrofishsurfboards Thank you! I will subscribe now.

@@electrofishsurfboards Actually, I see that I was already subscribed!

Thanks

Thanks. Il take a look. Cheers

Aloha! Yes it is a great board to have. I'm currently shaping one in the 9ft range aswell to see how well they go as longboards.

Cheers! If you look closely there's lots of little tips you can pick out 😉

@@electrofishsurfboards I’m stealing them alllllll!!! Mwahahahaha. Jk, kinda

Yeah it makes a big difference on translucent tints as will show alot darker even with scratches ect. Clears/opaque doesn't matter too much. The only time it can't be helped is with bubbles in the foam. You can fill with filler but still looks slighlty different to the colour of foam.

Thanks

Cheers

Thanks

@@electrofishsurfboards cheers bro👍.

Thanks! This one was a twin i have done the same model with quads though, they go well in bigger hollow surf. Didn't put it in the vid as fin plugs went in after lamination. Will put a full build vid up soon of the next boards I've shaped.

Thanks this stuff is Q1

Thanks this was Llewellyn Ryland translucent tint. I get it from mb fiberglass.

Seems to me there are 2 different type of fish bottom contours. The performance or modern fish which runs mainly concave through and out the tail and then the retro original type which is rolled in the nose flat or concave in the middle then a bit of vee in the tail. This one in the video is the bottom contours I do on all of mine now which is light roll upfront to give the lift, running through to a light concave in the centre that then turns to spiral vee just infront of the fins and vee out the tail. The spiral vee is like double concave vee so has the rail to rail of classic vee but a bit more hold or bite. The concave in the middle I always prefer as directs the water through the board to the tail and in my opinion is always the fastest. Hope this helps a bit.

@@electrofishsurfboards Yes! Thanks 🤙🏻

Whose shaping jt

@@co8539 Jose Barahona out of Hermosa Beach… he’s been my good friend and shaper for 20+ years! He’s made me some incredible incredible boards over the years 🏄🏼‍♂️🤙🏻

Fast, easy and loose depending on what fins your riding in it.

@@electrofishsurfboards Thanks! looks narrow. how wide is it? I'm just staring to shape thinking o making this a long fish or a groveler.

@@ansborromeo7470 this one was 21, 1/2" I have shaped them wider before but i feel it slows them down a bit. I would only go up to 22" wide if they were 8ft or longer.

Yeah could do a twinzer setup. Would probably work well with an exit channel in last 6" of tail.

Sorry thought the crazy music was better than the squeek of 10x speed video. Will try some less crazy music next time

@@electrofishsurfboards great video maybe something less repeative but a big fish does look like fun nice work

@@jw8556 thanks appreciate the feedback. I know what you mean I can't stand the music anymore 🤣 going to try something different on the next one.

@@electrofishsurfboards yeah change it up sounds good so how's the board handle is it a good shape in that size
