Snapped longboard repair 

1:40 those sticks should inserted vertically! You would get a lot more strength.

8:04 that’s crazy, he drives a hurst. Most be a good daily driver and perfect for fitting all the boards. That’s crazy I didn’t know people did that.

Super helpful video! Can’t believe you make your own music too

When i was doing board repair on oahu we would grind off all the delam glass and use new. That way you have an actual bond to the foam. The chunk that you just layed back down, yeah sure the resin will keep it there, but it just a hard brittle flat section thats waiting to snap again. For filling the gap, used to use aerosel + q-cel so that it was more like foam, oppose to hard resin. Cuz again with just straight resin that thing may snap again. Also its way heavier to use just resin. The airbrush would not be there anymore, but it would be able to take that kind of beating again

Lovely job

Thank you for not putting a black stripe over the break. The scarlet letter of broken boards.

I don't know why more guys don't use carbon fiber rods for snap boards. its super strong and very light.

Looks good.

Great job! I haven't ever had to do such a repair but coordinating the pins for a tight fit up seems to be the challenge. In the end I guess it doesn't matter that much. A friend fixed his board the same way after snapping it while shooting the pier a couple of times & like you say it always breaks in a new spot. Keep up the great work!

This is why I love reddit, big ol surf fam....for the most part! Genius life hack for the gummies on the sandpaper, thanks for that. Curious about the uv light, what's that do? And super rad thing of you to fix the homie's board, nice job!

I've never thought this is possible.

l would run a stringer on either side of the main stringer and two other stringers "the stringers would be made of cloth laminated to about an 8th thick and then cut into strips to suit the repair 6"-12" long just thicker than the board" each stringer would then be inserted on either side of the main stringer and the other two at equal distances between the main stringer and the rails, using these stingers they are strong and unseen, rather than lolly pop sticks pushed into the board? the main part of doing a repair on any board is to get the rocker right! get rid of the delaminated cloth and use new, sand the stringers down, and re-cloth as you would a new board. doing the repair as shown in the vid with a gap full of resin "use what we call bubbles" which is white foam powder then mix with resin l use it for most repairs? The repair will be strong and like people have said the board will most probably snap elsewhere? l hope my repair info makes sense?

brody he drives a HEARSE living the DREAM

Outstanding, you should set up a tent at Pipeline.

I just snapped my favorite board today and am pretty insanely bummed out. Going to try to fix it I guess. Thanks for the video

Piggy went sponsored mode by the surf companies they

hey man, what are you using as glue at 1:47, is it just resin?

Wow! You put in a lot of effort into this board! Awesome! I snapped my favorite board on my birthday, broke it into 2 pieces, and my nose(face) too :D, so all was pretty...let´s say not optimal. In the end of the Video, you told the owner something about it would be harder or not repair able if it was broken more in the mid section. Why? I still try to find someone (in germany-munich area) who can fix my 6.6 board. All i ever fixed was little dings.

Great vids...lots to enjoy and learn. So you're using UV-activated hardener? Is the polyester resin standard or is it also specialized for UV curing? I haven't done a repair on a polyester board for ~55 years. I can still remember the smell of the resin. ;-)

I don't know if you'll read this or not, but... I have a question. You use uv resin. Isn't it vulnerable to discoloration? Please let me know the name of the product of uv resin if you don't mind

The wooden pieces are more so to line up the pieces but not much structural strength, is that correct? So if it is a clean cut i could do without them, right? Thanks

how long will those icecream sticks hold the foam together ? .... maybe carbon rods will work better....

Is there a reason the popsicle sticks are put in horizontally and not vertically oriented like a stringer?

that guy definitely seemed like a redditor

Personally I think it's smart to reuse the delammed glass. Others with more experience think differently. But for a pro bono good gesture, amazing! But it would fun to do some experiments. What sticks best to foam, polyurethane and or styrofoam (EPS): 1. Gorilla Glue (polyurethane glues) 2. Elmer's (PVA glues and the like) 3. Resin (polyester and epoxy, or some other like the newer acrylics)

Why not insert the wood sticks vertically to get a stronger repair!

I don't know anyone who does ding repairs anymore here in Oz no one would do a snapped board repair as it will cost almost the same as buying a good 2nd had board we get cheap 2nd hand boards here in Oz on market place around $250 Aus

I repaired hundreds of boards, I would never use resin to glue the board back together and wouldn't use sticks to act as stringers for strength . I use gorilla glue and it is way stronger than resin and when the glue dries it expands and you will use less q cell and it will be lighter, as for using the original glass it will not be as strong as using new cloth . You got to remember that where the board snapped it won't brake at the same spot it will brake either above or below because when a board snaps there is stress and always the weakest part of the board will brake. LOL been there done it. I once had a customer that broke his board in three pieces and had to repair it. Got to remember once a board brakes it will never be the same. I repaired boards for a lot is shops on Oahu .

am i the only one who is tripping that this guys surfmobile is a hearse??? ride or die i guess...

Is he driving in a hearse?!? 😬

😂😂😂

🤦🏻‍♂️
