Brings back memories of Shaping Boards in my Garage in Hawaii. All that foam dust. Thanks 😎🤙🏼UnkoRob
Since we don't get snow in the winter we have to make our own! Sure does get everywhere though.
Congrats Master, very nice techniques. Thanks for sharing your experience. ⚡️🌊🤙🏼
I could watch this dude all day.the Years of knowledge one could soak up spending time with him.
Sick vid! keep up the great work.
Thanks Mike!
Thanks for sharing. I go shaping my first surfboard. Beautiful job! Realy!👏👏👏 I’m from Brazil! Very thanks!👊✌️🏄🏻♂️
Have fun! and goodluck!
I love Fiberglass Florida. I live in Melbourne and started making skimboards. The staff is knowledgeable and nice, and the place has everything I need. If you buy the Polyester resin by the 5 gallon, you essentially get one gallon free. Good place to get your stuff.
Increíble! Se puede observar la técnica de un gran shaper. El mejor video tutorial que he visto! Gracias Allen!!
Thanks for sharing guys!
No problem, glad you enjoyed it
Nice.
Looks amazing.
The tucked edge is key. Not enough and the board turns into a dog. At least that’s how it was on my 80’s style boards.
My personal longboards also like an edge at least to 1/4 up from the tail.
Last board I had was 10’6 with a stinger pin tail. Hard edge 1/3 up. Very fun.
I saw a video called Mr Kookbox. Guy was shaping wood boards with square rails and ripping.
Edge is everything unless you’re on a dedicated noserider.
I have shaped close to 4000 boards. You my friend are a master craftsmen! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
that must be so much money in blanks
Jesus loves you so much and wants a relationship with you!

Few decades ago I was just a grom who enjoyed hanging at the Seasoned factory trying to get dusty and find my spot in the line up. A-Dubbs or Allen proposed, "Awwwe Skip! Why don't you come by my house help me do some digging." In his southern draw. I don't remember questioning what we were digging. The deal was he would let me watch him shape a surfboard if I moved some ground. Met him at his house the following day and he hands me a shovel as we walk 4'x6' piece of ground on the side of his house that soaked up leaking heating oil tank. He 's pointing at the ground as he walks over the project and waving his hand like he feeling a rail. "You gotta dig up this contaminated dirt here and down to where we can't see it or smell it!" pausing "I'll be back going shape couple surfboards." I can' tell you how long I was there or how good of a job I did. It could have been a day and some. I do remember him shaping the surfboard a high performance in the 6'2" range with double barrel concave and squash tail. It took him no more than an hour and my time was up. In hind site should have bear hugged the shaping stand to spend the rest of the day in that room with him. In those days the surfboard shapers were also the best surfers. I looked up to all of them, but the guys at the Seasoned and Tim Nolte few doors down let me find my spot and the catalyst to my surfing experience. I've enjoyed the fruits of my labor again.
Great vid. The last thing i recomend is to closely check the rocker on the bottom of the rail line to smooth out any bumps as lots of boards i find i haver to end up doing extra sanding to try and get bumps out of the rocker (especially alot of almeric boards) which is a real pain and makes the board weaker once its glassed. I feel the bumps can effect the performance some what. Cheers
Troy Robinson great tip! Thanks for that! Hope you enjoyed. 🤙🏽
Pretty sure those bumps are from the lamination not being tight enough as well as stringer swelling from humidity over time after shaping.
10k boards is crazy 😜 ….thx for the vids
This is the type of footage best with a pov angle from the shaper. Need to see this from there eyes s they talk
Yo, great video! Ready to go finish up my rails...
thank you so much, many more videos on the way!
@@FiberglassFlorida I've only glassed one board, and I'm about to send it on two more. It'd be awesome to see in depth vids on different glassing techniques!
@@caravanclips we will have some up in a few weeks. its hard to say when but they are coming! pigments, pin lines ,glassing in fins, laminating all that a good stuff!
@@caravanclips New video is up! it's lengthy but a lot of great information. let us know what you think.
Fantástico Vid!! . What model Hitachi is? What gride sand finish the Foam? Thanks
I would love that board blown up to a 6'4", man that thing is sweet.
Hi What shaping pad are you using for the rails - it looks super soft? Thx!
What is the planer/spokeshave he is using on the stringer near the nose? Thank You
Q tal hermano alan .glay panama city saludos
Could you tell us what sanding grit Allen uses to finish up the board?
There seems to be something going on with your website (fiberglassflorida. May want to check that out. (Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons.)
Video says shaping surfboard rails but doesn’t show planet work of rail bands? Starts off with planing of stringer?
What is the material?
I didnt know kurt russell made surfboards
Juan Antonio Cruz 😂
I WANT TO SEE YOU SHAPE A SOLID OAK PLANK 11 FOOTER WITH FOUR INCH 50/50 RAILS USING A PUMICE STONE LIKE THAT.
Who is that Guy?
Just worried about not turning off the planer when going around the board.. scary part you'll never know whats gonna happen.
Title says “HOW TO” and subject is rails but there’s not much good direction / steps or focus on the subject which is the rail. There’s more other stuff.
