Spray painting with a white car in the background? Brave man!
My friend did the same a couple of a years ago with an F2 Max 2 Air.
I hope this little older shapes come back around soon. Still can't get used to the newer shapes.
Well done what a wonderful project. Great job. Bet your super proud.
awesome work my man
oh man. I actually have this same AHD gathering dust in storage. This is inspiring
Well done, very satisfying to watch
This is clearly a work of art. Well done my friend 🔥
Great job ! I have a Naish wave board from the same era , I wish I had the skill and tools/ equipment to do this for my board
Amazing work. Congrats thats was wicked 👍👏👏👏
Realy great! Good job man!
Soo cool! Excellent editing and great to see you go from old board to something totally different and sailing!
Great job looks amazing
Just wow!! Great job!!
Good skills! Looks like you might need to restore that old Pryde sail too😄
Awesome job!!!
Very nice.... I want to do it on my old boards.
Credit where credit is due. Great job, the board looks very modern afterwards. I'd guess it sails a bit better too with less swing weight from the nose.
Great project. Well documented
Your video is a huge boost for me to make the board. There are three types of Evertech non-slip powder depending on the size. Which one did you use? And did you paint the resin first before spraying the powder?
