I've worked with wood and fiberglass for many many years, and yet I still learned some things from this video! What a labor of love that board has become - absolutely wonderful!
Awesome video. I made a paddle board from one of you videos , Now I have three
Man, seeing you work with that beauty was an honor dude! You really know your craft, it would be an honor to learn from you!
You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Tatum Nehemiah I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Tatum Nehemiah it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out !
@Wesson Adrian no problem xD
Amigo una pregunta esa tabla de surf no es pesada??? Porque no es hueca. Gracias
Being an Old-Timey wood worker, when I saw you start chambering the board and you splitting the glued joints apart - I almost had a stroke. Then I saw how you make those aircraft wing-like chambers and then all was well with the world again. Wow! what a beautiful craft- Great job Andrew!
WHOA! I couldn't believe when I saw you break your board down after you shaped it! Great work! I'm gonna do it that way for now on!
What a craftsman. A beautiful board.
That was a joy to watch. I have built 3 canoes and a kayak, and I was mesmerized by the video. Thanks for posting. No surfing here, but definitely makes me want to try to build one myself one day. Thanks for helping me dream.
I am in love with this board
One of the most beautiful boards I've ever seen. I would love to make one of these, but I can't imagine how many hours you've got into this. I think I'd be too afraid to ding or scratch it up to actually use it in a lineup. Huge respect!
I agree. It won't ding anywhere as easy as a foam-resin-glass board, but if it's covered in carbon fiber? Oh shit, indestructable.
Lovely work
If you want to split a glue joint later, use a piece of paper between the layers, most of the glues these days are stronger than wood and the wood could split
Never surfed a day in my life but that was a helluva piece of art!!
This would be a good project for an advanced woodworking class for a high school student.
Done completely with flip flops on…
You the man.
very nice board about 15 years ago I made a wooden Wakeboard in a fairly similar way although I put a solid Poplar rib down the center to stiffen the boards flex as much as possible it worked ! I grew up in Florida and I’ve always wanted to build my own surfboard , now I’m old and a retired Woodworker I’m thinking of doing a Paddleboard / Longboard Surfboard as the boards I’ve preferred are what you young guys consider Longboards like my 6 foot 2 incnch Sunshine single fin
That is so amazing! I’m a carpenter and I shape boards but I can’t imagine doing something like that. It’s been a dream of mine to shape a wooden surfboard but finding the time is difficult. I’m so impressed with your talent and skill! Keep up the great work!🤙🙏🏄♂️
Honestly I value your ideas and opinions on shaping/glassing more than anyone else.
You are a superhero, no matter how you wanna look at it. You are a fine artist. I have the utmost respect for you.
Ok, I'm inspired! You've made the impossible look doable. But I'm going big with a classic single fin 10-0 longboard👍
Andrew, I love this video. I'm not much of a surfer myself, but I intend to use the chambered method to make a boogie (body) board for myself and daughter. Although I've seen plenty of video doing it from foam and plywood, I think I would enjoy the chambering process quite a bit. I plan t o use redwood for the body and cedar as the striped accents. Thanks, I'll be referring to this video once I get started.
It does look awesome with the knots.
Me, first 1/3 of the video: “wood boards are SCREWED together?!?” A moment later:”ohhhhhh”. Brilliant stuff man, never would have figured that’s how it’s done.
he’s very good at what he does & builds many different types (material & shape-wise) of boards. I’m pretty positive that he’s showed me what it takes to build one of my own.
Cool! U must be preserved as a national treasure! Complete with fiberglassing and polishing! What a superbuild!! Great upload! Thx man!!!
Beautiful piece of kit . That's not a surf board it's an amazing work of art . Thanks for sharing
Wow.. now thats craftsmanship. I always scratched my head at how much skill goes into making a board like that. And not for nothing, but first thing you notice is how light it is.... well, relatively speaking. You are just not expecting something made of wood to be as light.
Thank you so much for putting this together for all of us!
I hope to do this one day myself.
Why would anyone thumbs down this video?!
What a beautiful and brilliant build! Thanks for sharing this amazing piece of functional art. PS: In addition to your clearly being a top notch woodworker, I LOVED how you kept your shop clean as you worked. Everything about this video; from the board itself to the video production ( loved the soundtrack!) to your highly skilled and deliberate approach was PRO. I really enjoyed watching this.
Great build. You have an eye for the slightest detail and complete every step to perfection. Thanks for the video.
Top Notch Carpentry and Glassing skills mate huge amount of work but look at that Finnished product 👌❤ cheers
Bravo! Well done. Attention to detail and I learned so much and I’ve made about 10 hollow wooden surfboards! Would live to see the board in better surf when you get the footage. Excellent tutorial thanks!!!!
My only experience with woodworking was making my own floating bed. And it looks pretty rough.
This video has me thinking I can do something like this.
I doubt it will look near as good but I think I’ll give it a go.
I have about 21 years of experience in woodworking and I have recently got an interest in Surfing. After watching this video I'm confident that I can build my own Surfboard with my skills. Also with my skills in woodworking I can make the more more my own styles and design.
I have never seen a wooden surfboard assembled and at 1st when you screwed the 2 halves, but then only glued them together with no hardware I thought this guy doesn't know what hes doing lol. Then you took it apart and cored it and then I realized "Aha! I get it now!" Very nice, and sustainable SPF wood too!
Yeah me too - I was like "wtf this isn't chambered it's solid and heavy as" then all was revealed. Lots of work but did it well. Probably could have gone a little more on the coring to reduce weight, and definitely less cloth eg 4oz.
Congratulation!! What a beautiful work, nice video and finaly this awesome board WOW I'm enthused 😍
Wow Andrew I just had a deja vu moment....... hahaha. That's a fine technique mate.
loved watching this build, i am inspired. Cheers.
As an indistrial designer I love a well sanded project and YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT! thank you very much for that video and keep uploading pro builds like this:)
Beautiful surfboard. Massive effort in building it. Very clever to hollow out the timber. Many hours of work. Fantastic
Hi Andrew, your top notch how-to videos have helped me tremendously in glasing my surfboard! I had built it in a workshop, the glasing I then wanted to do myself. You have a super understandable instructions, completely relaxed brought across. I am more than satisfied with the result. Thank you very much!
A peice of craftmanship from t his shaper.😃😃🤙🤙🤙
I might have commented before, but I rewatched your video again and still blow away
Andrew! Thank you so much for another series of great videos !!! When I first time wanted to make a surfboard I started looking for information on the Internet and came across your first project with a blue board. It was the best video ever, comprehensive information. everything is easy, simple and accessible, even for a beginner. very interesting and all this time I keep track of your surfboard projects. Thanks to you I was able to try shape surfboards too. Thank you for helping to avoid mistakes and explaining a lot of details and specific points. have a good surf.
I haven't surfed in over 25 years and I watch this video from start to finish. You are a craftsman sir! Great job.
This board is far too good for me. I would be afraid I would scratch it. What a great build.
Loved watching this build. So many hours went into it and an amazing finish.
Nice work! I would drill it out with some hole saws instead of the jig saw to allow for more strength , also use forestner bits interested of those paddle bits for less tear out.
Watching this is eye candy. Very creative.
Dude, you are amazing! Lot of respect for your work and your patience. This is a remarkable job. Congratulations!
A work of art. Beautiful. What workmanship. Great job brother.
I've watched the most wooden surfboard builds on UA-cam, and this is definitely the best video. Simple, yet meticulous. How long did this take from start to finish?
Totally agree
33 minutes man:)
@@MyF1Scuderia My guess on the light colored wood was a cedar. Bet it weighs more like 20 lbs all up. He didn't seal/waterproof the inside yet added a "vent plug". Do all the chambers connect and possibly drain to that spot? Hmmm...Nice job though. Aloha y'all.
@@jimharris2897 I would think the vent plug is for expansion and contraction with temperature extremes.
@@flatlander6928 I agree about air pressure equalization. Hot/cold, barometric, altitude.The cargo hold at 30,000 ft., for instance. Condensation or other moisture inside was my concern.
Absolute work of art
Did one too like that years ago. Turned out good, never tried it :D (yet). We got no waves at lakes.
Nicely done. Thanks for the post.
Best video yet on building a surfboard. Thanks
I love your product, I love your workshop, I love your sound track, I love your way to work... Stunning video for me even if it isn't my branch...Salvy from Italy
A real masterpiece you take a lot of pride in your craftsmanship best video ever . It makes me appreciate my sup board from ride the tide similar timber look
great stuff! I was wondering if you could do something about the 'design' of a surfboard. Flat bottoms, fast, slower... how does one create a template or design for those, and what does what on a surfborad ?
There is a software that allows you to design your own boards called BoardCad. You can design the board then print templates like he had in the video.
It's pure artwork, it probably works good in the water as well
Great content thanks for making the video please make more
amazing beautyfull process
What an epic construction… Hat’s off, man - beautiful job..!
so satisfying
I’m speechless. All I can say is, DUDE...!
That is a thing of beauty, you are a real craftsman 👌
Excelente vídeo.
Parabéns pela sua paciência e extrema habilidade manual.
A prancha ficou belíssima.
That was awesome! Thank you for the insight. For someone who has some understanding and experience with what you were doing it gave me a great joy to watch and when I make my first board I will share my experience with you. Thanks again.
SKILL. Andrew W you are a master.
Es una obra de arte
Youre a legend thanks for the tips!
WoW very précise handcraft job. Organising, clearing, nice.
Great work! Question: how heavy is this board? I've only ever made a few surfboards (4, all out of fibreglass and foam) and so I'm in awe of your workmanship here!
Just a few tons
good luck…you’ll have to guess. as much as I enjoy his videos & how-to-DiYs, I’ve never seen a response. he’s great with his projects, but poor with response. I looked this up a few years ago & saw from a few sources online, that if you copy the exact shape & length of a Foam & Fiberglass board, then find the weight of them & multiply them by 1.3, so they’re basically around 40% heavier. I imagine you can lower that by removing more stock, creating more void volume, but I can’t say from experience.
Thanks for being so generous to share this, you rock!
Eres un gran maestro!!!!!
i loved the finish product, just a beautiful board. good job man!!!
This thing is awesome!
my favourite Andrew W videos are these great wooden board videos compared to your foam boards especially video production absolutely fluid and great thankyou..
what a wonderful object !
Congratulations for the wonderfull job Maestro!
Amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing
Great epoxy & glass working skills mate ... especially liked the cut-lap & tape technique. Im gonna try that on my next glass-in job... thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Love this. That board is a thing of beauty! Great work
wow, it takes to have that skill Man to built the same awesome board! Whatta beauty beyond skill!!
Muito bom este vídeo, estou querendo faz tempo fazer uma prancha de madeira e agora me animei. Parabéns, a prancha ficou linda!
Olá Renato, eu tbm gostei muito desse trabalho do Andrew, a prancha ficou muito linda. Creio que o peso final seja muito maior que das pranchas de eps, mas a beleza compensa. Vc sabe que madeira eu poderia usar aqui no Brasil para fazer esse tipo de prancha?
Stunning - I wouldn't want to take it out, rather leave it mounted on the wall and take out my other, foam boards!
It's amazing.
She’s a beauty. Great job
Beautiful! Thank you for making this video!
Is this surfboard for surfing…or just for decoration!?…if that is normal wood i guess it will be very heavy;what is clear is that this board is beautiful.I would love to see it in action in the water👍😜🤟🤟🤟
NICE JOB DUDE!!!!! Wow, incredible
Sweet! That is a beautiful board! Great job and great video!
So nice to see ☺️
Nice work !
Gorgeous board!!! I have wanted to build a surfable SUP like that for year and always thought that a building method like yours would work but never heard of anyone making it like that. Now I have all the inspiration that I need, thanks!!!
Thank you senpai! Surfsup is proud
That series was amazing thank you for making it was very interesting and has give me some great ideas on how to make one for my self
Looks great! Would there be any reason you wouldn't scale this up to a 9'6" or a 10' longboard?
What a fabulous build!
This is how some of the board makers in the very late 1950's made boards channeling to make the board lighter but with built to the board wood fins though they did not put the leash on the board as those did not come out until the late 1960's to early 1970's.
king.
Cool, really nice job, you have it going on
you're a genius man
