From start to finish a timelapse of building a custom surfboard for a friend. All steps from making a blank from EPS block foam, hotwiring the blank, shaping the blank, sealing, installing fin boxes, glassing, hotcoating, sanding, paint work and gloss coating with epoxy. This is around 8 hours of footage time-lasped into 12 minutes.
See the playlist for all the real time videos that were used to create this time-lapse. They are boring but might help some of you building your first surfboard.

Do you know how to repaint a skimboard, with a foot grip, and gloss on it? I bought it from a pawn shop and the paint job is horrid. Nice video by the way. 🙂
Hey man what’s the stuff that you brushed on with a paint brush?
This comment is for Goncalo Cardoso. Dont use polyester resin on eps foam. It will eat the foam. You might be able if you put down a sealer but i wouldnt. Epoxy resin only. On a poly blank you can use poly or epoxy resin but not on eps foam.
How did you paint the blank? awesome work!
damn i didnt realize the work u have to do to make surfboards….
love the video and the board looks great!
I loved the video that board is sick, I am taking a class in school that is making fiber glass boards and I need a good design and size, were do you think I can get a template to follow for the shape?
What does it cost you to do the whole project? If you don’t mind me asking.
What kind of resin and foam do the pro surfers of the asp use ? Polyuretane or EPS ?
Epoxy or Polyester resin ?
why you put a plug in the nose top of the board ?ciao….
Very very very strange things happening there in every step, big discrepancies in wearing safety items and lot more. Pretty crazy.
This turned out amazing! If anyone wants to find out more information about building surfboards, check out my website http://www.howtomakeasurfboard.com. I will be posting a lot of useful information there that will help out anyone trying to make their own surfboard.
Sweet board!
Goncalo not sure why I can’t comment directly to you. I’m not sure what the pro surfers uses, regardless they ride boards that are glassed really light and don’t last very long since they are looking for performance not durability.
How many hours of work was that and was it multiple days
nice!
how long does it usually take the whole thing?
Why is there a single fin plug on the nose?
Beautiful work. Can you explain to me why the board was painted on the blank and on top of the glass with the same design?
do you sell surf boards
Hey man, awesome video series. Helped me heaps shaping my first board. I was wondering did you have any problems with delamination painting the blank and then hot coat like that? Cheers
how did u get that color on the foam?
thanks for sharing ☺☺☺
The music is aweful but nice video man
Super bueno ese video … lo que me gustaria saber es que le puso para que los solbentes de la fibra no derritan la espuma flex
