I was going to dismiss this because of his age but then he started with attributing his knowledge to being an apprentice under someone who has a lot of experience. Very humble and gracious.

[@ericjorgensen8028]

If you were taught by Jim Phillips... I will watch. He was a great help back in my days on Swaylocks. Looking forward to More 👍

[@michaeldoughty9103]

[@Deadstorage]

I'm looking into getting started. I have a lot of this stuff from doing custom body work. Any chance you have a list of tools I can download?
Request, 10.5 twin or thrust

[@Mongiloyd]

Im on my third board right now and its hard but fun! Its a 9'2 so if you can share some tips for longboards while shaping a fish or any type board that would be awesome. YT videos about shaping longboards are like non existing or old footage from shaping legends. They drop some knowledge nuggets while being vague about it.

[@zack_flores]

That’s awesome. Where have you been shaping?
I’ll keep you in mind for the later videos!

[@Mongiloyd]

​@@zack_flores I'm shaping from my garage hehe, located in europe, the Netherlands of all places. Been to California this year and love how surfing is way more integrated into the culture with all the history that happened there.

[@CainanParker]

Shrednaught does a great job in his tutorials, should check him out

[@CainanParker]

Also, this was a very good overview 🤙🏼

[@kieranmiranda211]

So sick. Would love to know how to do channels

[@lindaflores9011]

So what's with the blue paint on the walls in all shaping rooms?

[@genelevesque2555]

I could not find you video on concaves, do you have one?

[@zack_flores]

Coming soon!

[@mrfelipehurtado]

Please a twinzer set up!!

[@benmcabee7657]

Please shape a nose ridder that would be sooooo helpful for me

[@zack_flores]

For sure! Maybe in. Few months i could start that.

[@davegott996]

[@Fitandover40]

[@Dill_doh]
