Complete handshape for "Me". 😉
This was a challenge from a cnc shaper to see if I could hand shape faster than he can cnc and finish shape and it must be +-1/8" to spec. I won the challenge by a mile

Fixing a rail shape after you have finished the shape.
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.Год назад
You should never be afraid to fix a rail that does not feel right. There are many times where you come back the next day and decide that you hate your rail but are too afraid to fix it. Here is the simple way to make it right.

Handshaping myself a 5'10"×19.75"×2.54" Fugu model.
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.2 года назад
Keep in mind that this shape was made to cut up for training clips but I decided to upload the entire shape start to finish since it is not completely boring to watch. 😉 If it was a customer's board or shop board I would have spent 5 more minutes measuring and 10 more minutes getting the finish perfect. A typical handshape should take 1 hour to do properly.

www.udemy.com/course/surfboard-shaping-the-10-step-method-to-pro-results/?referralCode=9475E539D03E72451963 A modified planer can save a ton of time and labor when you are shaping in your deck/rail flow. I am cutting the thickness flow in two ways at once, nose to tail as well as rail to center. Since modern surfboard designs came from handshaping with a planer, this technique makes it easy to ...

How to shape a surfboard freestyle.
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.4 года назад
If you want to shape freestyle there are a few rules that you should follow to maximize your success. Most blanks are designed to be shaped from the bottom to the deck so it is best to do most of your shaping off the bottom. Look at it this way and the flow should naturally fall into place just like the blank designer planned.

How to make a perfect surfboard template.
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад
The #1 problem for beginner to intermediate shapers is the template. Nothing can make your shaping harder or easier like the template can because it is the one part that interacts with every other part of the shape. A bad template screams "beginner" but the good news is that perfect templates are available to everyone and are so easy to make that there should be no excuse. www.kazumakinoshitasu...

Never shaped a board, but these little critiques were SOO helpful to hear!
Awesome, thank you
What are the dimensions of your shaping bay?
9'+x16'
Hey Matt, you’re a wealth of knowledge. I hope you don’t mind a question for a vid you made long time ago. If I observed correctly, you attacked the bottom and deck rails differently (bottom banding outward to rail, deck banding inward to stringer), is there a reason for that? I’m assuming those are 50/50 rails, why not do the bands in the same sequence? Thank you in advance!
Thank you very much, it helps me a lot for my first glassing job on my wooden longboard.
If I was doing a remake of “The Karate Kid” I’d have you as Mr. Miyagi showing Daniel the proper moves with your shaping strokes, instead of “wax on, wax off.” Speed it up to 2x and it almost balletic. Like you’re shaping flow into it, which I guess you are in a way.
this blew my mind.
Awesome... I am stoked to hear that
I have a board with the rails I like what’s best method to make rail gauge , I saw you use wire , I tried fence tying wire aluminum but it keeps bending back and doesn’t hold shape of the rail exactly . Is there different method and do you have different rails on different types boards cuz when I surf boards with thicker rails it doesn’t turns as well as use like
Use solder wire, it holds shape perfectly
Much mahalos for help will try it
How much do you estimate to minus for glassing if I measure a glassed board
Sounds like a router
If only it was that easy!
Nice technique, i might try that even something in-between just rolling up the rails , should save heaps of resin .
Thanks for sharing mate! Lots of hard work and love in your shapes 🙌
Are you related to Walter, Blake and cheryl-ann ?
No, I am not
He used 60 grit.
That’s amazing! Thank you. A question, please…. Will this work just as well using EPOXY and 6 Oz cloth on EPS? EDIT: In another comment he said it works with epoxy and really well with tint too. Don’t know about using 6 oz cloth and EPS yet though.
That board on the floor looks sick is it a longboard or egg ?
Belo trabalho !!
Thank you
Excelente video .disculpa como se llama ese dispositivo que husas con el lápiz gracias
Finally found this after lots of deep dive in the interwebs! Thanks for sharing. Still a little bit confused as to what you are pressing/bending with the screw driver… is it the teeth on the index plate that you push up outa the way? Or is it the metal slide that extends out of the opening that tells you what depth you’re at that gets bent? I don’t want to accidentally damage anything I can’t undo, but there’s no clear video anywhere that shows how to make this crucial mod. Any info detailing what you’re bending would be appreciated! Thanks Matt 🙏🏼
There is a disc shape aluminum plate with the little clicker notches on it and you just take a small screwdriver and push it about a millimeter away from your adjustment lever so you don't have to take anything apart and you don't have to alter the machine at all because I love to keep mine in original condition
Well done! The principles are the same, but I bet your hands are sore.
Definitely takes some extra effort😉
This guy's an this guy's an idiot you don't use somebody else's surfboards to shape your template
What do you do if your rocker bar is shorter than your board?
You can tape tongue depressors onto the ends or you can sight it from the tail but that isn't as accurate
Have you tried this again recently?
No I haven't had time to play around but now that I watch this again I see thst I need to
Matt Tim Bessell shapes decks and bottoms with a belt sander .There is a vid on YT of him doing it . I gotta get one now .

This just de mystified laminating for me. Great method thanks
I am stoked to hear that
@@kazumasurfboards This made complete sense to me. I worked factory hot coating for a bit and that's what made this click for me. Funny I found this because I have been planning on doing my own completes. The laminating and the fin boxes are what has held me up. Thanks again man. Cheers
I watched twice so don't think I missed it but how to mark out the transition of the corner radius which on my boards is about 1/64th or less along the rail near the fins, and transitioning up to an inch or more of radius in the middle and then of course decreasing again but never as hard as a 64th toward the nose?
This fine details are made by eye but the way people screen rails will determine the finished look and flow. Most shapers screen the same so the fine details naturally come out the same
Can it work to remove dents from an already laminated board? 😬
No, too much risk ofaking the spot yellow or even deamination of that spot. But yes I have "fixed" damaged new boards this way before😉
that tip about having the blade slightly askew was so so helpful, brought my stringer from a potential botch job to half decent, cheers!
🔥🔥🔥
got a new board from you guys recently in the north shore 🤙
Awesome, thank you
This is exactly what has happend to me, after looking at the board finished i started "seeing" these flaws, yet the outline doesn't seem, to my lay eye, to be wavy. How can this be fixed? Thanks¡
In most cases that one could be true but the cut will not be vertical which leads to that waviness visually in the finished shape
I just finished shaping my first board and I realized i have a slightly thiker side. What are the concequences of such a flaw in the water? And Is there a way to fix it without altering the outline?
How to even out thickness if its a little uneven
I will make another video explaining it
Awesome, admiring your work! Fascinated and inspired by it! Thanks for sharing all that knowledge for free!
Man, you make everything looks so easy! The shaping as well, amazing!! Thanks for sharing
This is Brilliant! Thank you! I've been wondering how to make one of these 🤙
This one is now outdated as 124° is the new one?
I think I lost 1 degree of angle over time😉
Mahalo nui loa, Hawaiian.
Matt, thanks for sharing, but i got a question, base on your knolege what is the Best minimun and maximun tail rocker a board can have, don't know if the question is right or if You get the idea of it.😅
Tough question because it depends on the length of board butlers say shortboard under 6'8" long. 1.75" to 3" have been successfully used by various shapers but let's say that I could only pick one tail rocker number for every board under 6'6", it would be 2.25"
Is that grit 40 on the soft pad after the Hitachi?
It is 60 grit
How much should you save of the vertical side wall? Since most boards don't have a vertical side wall I guess you blend close to 0 at the end?
Yes you will nearly eliminate any flat but the point is that once you eliminate the flat on that sidewall you stsrt to change your outline and that introduces problems
How much do you shape the bottom up (towards the deck) or how much do you leave in tolerance to skim the deck for a finished thickness? ie; 3" starting blank, wanting 2 1/2" for example? Thank you for all of your information and effort to video, explain, and reply. 😊
I shape the bottom complete and I always strive to only have 1/8 inch or less to remove but most the time I still need to shape the tail down more on the deck side
How do you avoid these electric shocks? I have almost the same setup but when i use the planer (makita kpo800k), i always get electric shocks....
Half of the hose is a copper coiled Slinky hose made to eliminate static buildup it does a good job at that
@Kazuma Surfboards Hawaii is there another way to solve?
@@tracky2009 some people have run a grounding wire from the planer but I have not tried that myself
@Kazuma Surfboards Hawaii ok, I will try this. Ps: love your vids, learned a lot of you. Thx for that
How beautiful does that tail look 😍😍😍 Thank you for your efforts to film, on top of working. Much appreciated!
very impressive! what grit and disc hardness do you use with the sanding machine?
Thank you. I use the flexipad "softie" pad and 80 grit
Super! I'm currently making a handful of boards after only ever having made a dozen, the last one being 30 yrs ago. 2 days ago I had to strip a lam off because it kicked before I had the rails wet out and down (I misread the uv directions by a factor of x10 haha). I did ok with my next try last night, but since one of the shapes is in EPS foam, I'm gonna have your heart attack unless I can double speed my game. Your method looks like a real viable alternative and I will try it on the other boards first (the epoxy last). However, since I'm double glassing the decks: How does this method work for 2 layers - just paint it a bit thicker initially? Thanks so much for this vid!
Usually on the deck you would put down the 1st layer and trim it 1st. Then you could paint on the resin then pull the 2nd layer on like this
Love those rails !!!!
🙏🙏
The forbidden flour 😂
You should do a series from begging to end
Good video. I'm 72 I've surfed in south Africa through the the 60s 70s 80s 90 ofs 2000s then I had a heart attack at 64 and the coma and that's what fucked it up . In the uk . Ifyou have a coma You completely forget how to surf and it's like a child having to learn all over again. I I started from scratch and do a dozen popups atleast every day. Still haven't stood up fully yet but our surf in Torquay Devon is shit so it's not helping .want to buy a car now just to reach the waves. I make boards at home and that keeps me satisfied just paddling them on the Torbay flat lake.. keep up the great videos you a great surfer thanks....
