Strouman, Swededn to Lofoten Islands, Norway SD 480p
Still trying to work out how to edit, We left our overnight park up in Strouman and headed to the Lofoten Islands, Norway. We took the ferry from Bodo to Moskenes then found a great park up for the night, the ocean on one side to sheer cliffs on the other side.

I use Wet'n'Dry sandpaper to remove paint from a surfboard thats been painted. It'd be much easier to use a electric sander but here's my reasons.

I just got the Need Essentials Back Zip 2mm long sleeve springsuit and here is the review. The back panel is a great idea and is a winner, soft rubber and great neck, arm and leg seals. The arm holes are really small but it's a winner all round.

A boat tour of the Heuy 1. HUEY is an 82 ft ex customs patrol vessel customised for surf charters. Built and launched by the Japanese Government in 1978 HUEY is one of the faster boats servicing the Mentawai Islands. The hull is made from steel with an aluminium deck and wheelhouse, which provides a low centre of gravity. The Huey’s stability makes it a cut above the rest for seaworthiness

Making a Surfboard - Modifying a Template
I hope you had a great vacation i the north of the planet!😀👍🇸🇪🇦🇺
It was fantastic, currently going through footage doing some editing and learning how bad I am at it, much easier doing videos in the shed 🙂
my ghost shaper is a 5 axis cnc router. it always shows up to work on time, is precise to the hair's width and does the work of 4 shapers.
How to ghost shapers get paid? By the board? By the day? Bonuses or flat rate?
Many in SD get paid by the board
It was always by the board but could have changed.
At least around where i am, almost any big name boards you find in the shops are made by licensed 3rd parties but they dont hide it from the consumer. There are pyzels that have laminated logos saying they were made in peru.
That's good to see, I know a few brands that do hide it. Do the Peru boards have the shaper penciled on it?
@@Crankinsurf7000 Next time I see my buddies board I'll check and report back 🤙
A stencil for a signature 😂😂😂
Funny but true, seen it done
When I die I want to come back as a ghost shaper.
Haha yeah not a bad way to go
Oh sorry didn’t look at all the other guys giving you shit.
It’s backwards in the box
wet sand makes sense for leaving a nice finish, but why not use a solvent like acetone to strip the paint?
I'm an old school panel beaters son so spent much of my school holidays sanding cars with my Dad and I enjoy the process, it's such a nice finish too, saw a FB post the other day about removing tail pads and there was a ton of different answers, all were right but everyone has their way, I use solvents for those things.
@@Crankinsurf7000 makes sense. I do find wet sanding very therapeutic, and do it for the finish on most my boards. I'm just lazy when it comes to removing paints and glues.
gday craig i would love to see a video on what respirators u wear when shaping. Not sure what the right one is to get. cheers!
I'll film it in the next week, you might be shocked at the gear I use
@@Crankinsurf7000 yew thanks mate
👍😎
So called star fin makes NO sense on a surfboard. They are.designed for creating lift on the keel of a boat, which travels differently in the water than a surfboard. I had them on two boards back in the day, and they create drag, not lift. When returning to standard fins, it was like night and day. It was pure marketing hype, and cheyne horan was never a bright spark.
It's a fin that works for some but not others. When I got this fin I spoke to Chenyne about the boards he rode it with, so I shaped a board to go with the fin, not the other way round. The vee in the tail really helps get the most out of them, a neutral bottom lets the fin do the work. I just made a new 7/4 x 21 single pin and it works great with it, feels like it drives it, I'll do a video.
Ya I agree l liked the idea but never worked for me. For boats ok it’s proven but board, too many variables
@@DaveMannigel .It was more about hype and marketing around Ben Lexcen than actual R&D into what works. But as far as "R&D" concerning surfers, I think using that term may be too flattering.
Thanks dude!! Incredible review and vibes with no bs❤
Thanks mate I always give you an honest review of what I like and don't like about products I try.
We called those monkey or gorilla suits in the early 2000s. Used to be great for skim boarding. I like the better sun protection though compared to a normal all shorty spring suit. Thanks for the detailed review 🤙🤙🤙
I had one but sold it. One issue was the thin winglets nearly gutted me during a closeout because they are quite sharp. Second, there isn't any guidance about the angle to have it installed. You usually need to pack a fin and minor adjustments will lean the fin forward or backward and change the attack angle of the wings. Didn't know the angle to set it.
Angle of attack should be neutral. Just fit and go. Angle is set by fin box which should be flush with hull. You are in a dynamic rolling ball energy field, not a jet fighter.
Does it scratch the board by any mean ?
No not at all
💔 We were so lucky to have him.
Mine just arrived same color .Im a builder and I made a Half Zap single 5'10" based on the Theories of Richo who taught me to shape in the 80's when he came to Malibu for a contest . Piping Hot wetsuits dropped him off at our doorstep.We been friends ever since .In 86 he shaped 200 boards in one summer for Zuma Jays with a flipping sureform .Channel bottom and squashes .All of them sold within a year . My Zap is almost done sprayed in Evel Kenevel's stars and stripes .I can't wait . Also I have 2 of those 3d fins from FCS at my Hawaii factory .Super fun . Lastly .A friend just brought over Cheynes 6' 1" from 1982 his personal he brought around to the shops to show at of all places Zuma Jays in Malibu . Cheers dude !!!!!
Sounds like an awesome board. The board in the video I shaped after getting the fin and chatting to Cheyne. It turned out ok but doing another version soon which I will video. Hope to see some pics of this new board, the artwork sounds great.
Be great to see a photo of the zap, sounds nice. I like that you can just ring Cheyne up and talk about the fins and boards.
@@Crankinsurf7000 it’s day number seven surfing this Fin on the board I made listening to the principles of McCoy and Cheyne putting my own theory around it. The consensus is it’s addicting. Right now I don’t want to serve anything else. I even have a short clip of me at TOPANGA serving the board on the cam on my Instagram
You have the fin in your board back to front... Try it the other way around
I know bud, I just put it in for reference, not to go surfing
Received this wetsuit today and its great
It was a huge win for me too, my shoulder is quite bad and I just had surgery on the right one
looks sick
just what i needed to hear ineed one of these i can no longer get out of my chest zip issues with my neck and shoulders
Sounds like a dream trip!
Is there different thicknesses of rice paper?
Yes the place where I get it has two thicknesses and I get the thickest, I'd accidently tear the thin one trying to tape it, yep I'm that guy
I have mixed feelings on this. I have a board that I somewhat screwed up and has a really flat deck near the front and a standard curved deck in the tail (my Home Depot bucket fish video). You make good points, the main counterpoint is the flat deck will most likely end up with much fatter rails. The curved deck allows for a lot narrow and sharper rails which give you more responsive control. With my fish it has the bulky fat rails in front which are great for the added foam and getting into waves, but once you are planing, then it’s the much thinner rails in the back of the board with the curved deck giving some really nice responsiveness. Maybe that’s the future, a flat forward half with a curved rear deck. Or more likely I just got lucky with my mistake.
Sometimes mistakes can be the best thing, look at how many mistakes I've made that has turned out for the better. Totally get it doesn't work for everyone but for me the flatter decks seem to work, possibly I'm inconsistant where my foot lands?
Really love this channel,getting back to basics.A bloke in his shed making things he is passionate about.Can't wait to have a go myself and learn the differences in board design and how they effect the ride.Thanks for sharing! Hope the shoulder heals soon.
Thanks mate, yeah there's something special about being a backyarder, from handmade tools to following a dream. Start with bards you have and like and work from there, what would you change if you could. Get a snapped board and strip the glass off of it and practice working with foam. It's fun.
I know that view. Except the one I use has a blue side wall. 🤙
Cheers Braddah kine! -nick from AkuShaper saw your other vid about machine versus hand shape, nice
"We don't make mistakes -- we just have happy accidents." -Bob Ross. I like the abstract and just running with it. When you use brush on acrylic paint, do you thin it out with water, or just use it straight from the bottle/tube? I have only ever used resin tints and water based spray paints, but interested in trying out some brushed on techniques.
Yes I thin it out a bit but not too much as it will run, I found the right ratio
I want to be a surfboard shaper!!!!!!
Like the perspective. I do most of my boards on a machine, but it’s a pretty low level machine so they still need a lot of work on the nose, tail, and rails. Totally agree everyone should start with a couple of hand shapes. Glassing is my favorite part and I’m much more accurate in CAD than I am with my hands for bulk foam removal 😅
Got a video of me doing a handshape ready to edit
@@Crankinsurf7000 nice. Can’t wait to see it 🤙
Love the art involved; not just the pretty blue, but everything you described 😊
Next weeks video is actually doing the same art on another board
From 1988 to 2010 3000 boards later all hand shaped but as soon as a friend got a machine I never went back to hand just too much work verses 15 min clean up and boom glassing time ;)
Absolutely, it's so quick and a game changer specially when you need to make a few tweeks. I feel that beginners should hand shape to start with then move to machines. Think it takes me about 20 minutes which includes fin placement.
YEWWWW
Interesting product. I’ve seen ice scrapers for car windshields with a similar design /concept. Guess the circle shape makes it more efficient since there’s no direction bias.
It surprised me how good it was, really fast and efficient. Seems like a simple concept but it really works.
Cool video. I made my version of a Cheyne Horan's Starfin, puting a fcs2 base. It works really nice.
Sounds great, hows it go??
Since so many if the uninitiated are demanding volume, have you thought of building a displacement tank, maybe a joint building with other shapers. It wouldn't be hard, one way, 4 pieces of plexiglass(or Plywood): 2: 4'' wide, 2: 24'' wide. Each 7-8' tall depending on tall you longest boards would be. Glue together, reinforce with some lumber(to prevent bulging) and there you have it. You could rent out time to other shops.
Nah I'm way too lazy to do that, will stick to handshaping. Volume has it's place but isn't everything. Do I go to machine shapes or stick to the art? It's a tough one but I only do around 2 boards a month.
@@Crankinsurf7000 Well, just a thought. Keep up the great work.
I tried one numerous times on a 9Foot mal with little success. The fin kept getting snagged in the kelp and leash kept getting rapped around the fin. I noticed the board kept stalling every time I tried to catch a wave, as if the fin was causing the nose to stall just at the crucial last strokes. I’m sure having the right tail has heaps of difference in how the board performed.
I shaped a board to go with the fin, a round tail similar to what Chenye surfed at Bells including how the tail rocker was with the vee. It'd be hard with kelp. I've used it up to 7ft board and was ok.
The leash catch is a bit of a pain. BUT I have one in a 10' board and has two upsides. Quick pivot style turns and adds stability, which is especially noticeable in the white water. Not that surfing white water is a thing, but it demonstrates the effect well. Any fin can gut you. Fif the speeds surfboards travel at sharp foil edges are in necessary. Dull them off with sand paper and wetsuits will last longer.
It’s on backwards
Haha yeah, just chucked it in for the video, didn't check...rookie error
Thanks for the follow up video. Didn’t realize people were experimenting with this back in the 80s. Send a couple of 3D printable models on thingiverse with similar design.
Then factor in different glass and resin weights and the litre amounts go out the window ;)
Exactly, you're on the money there!
Cheyne also had a "loop" fin - like a circle.
Think I remember them, he has been a leader in fin design for many years now.
What’s the story behind the fin with split winglets!?!?
It's a Cheyne Horan starfin, I did a video on fin systems awhile back. I have one as well, they add drive and lift.
The ultimate single fin model fin. drive speed and stoke! love mine!!
@@Crankinsurf7000 just say you dropped a video on it. Going to watch it later today. Thanks again for the info 🤙
Does it get bigger/faster or is that the standard surf size? I heard you say that’s the cruiser size. Been wanting to try a wave pool for the longest time.
We filmed the cruiser which is good for bigger boards, still plenty of power in it. I mainly did Progressive Turns and had fun. I didn't go higher as I have a torn ligament in my shoulder (rotator cuff) but there was no way I was missing it. Heaps of surfers there from Snapper/Kirra area. On Advanced mode, many surfers getting pitched.
No cloth ?
Hey bud, not for the repair of the tips, if they were destroyed i would cut them off reshape and reglass them. With these I just wanted to get it back in the water.
Glad to see the eco friendly packaging. Appreciate the independent review. 🤙
great to see an honest review about AG1, the price is the thing that is holding me off buying it! Do you feel much better taking it?
Didn't notice any major difference, I put it on hold for now, the cost of the last one was $150 australian so not worth it money wise. Other brands on Amazon are really similar.
@@Crankinsurf7000 yeah it’s just too pricey. I’m looking at alternatives. If I find any I’ll post on here.
@@njgagen My wife hated the taste of AG-1 so bought her some others, will do a video today on them for you.
appreciate the honesty and transparency mate!
Cheers mate, always aim to be as honest as I can about any product I try, so much hype with AG1 and it has it's benefits but wow it's pricey.
I did it like in the video and the smallest template was left😬, I downloaded the 6'0"x 20.5" and it was 5'9"x 18.5"
You made the same mistake I did first time, when you print it make sure “fit to page” isn’t tagged, it’s in the instructions from blending curves but easy to miss.
Great vid.. do you know of a way to take spray paint off a surfboard without using acetone?
I've done it a few times and I sand it. If it's not much then I used wet n dry 180 or 240. Wax and Grease remover is a go to it's just overspray but if it's a lot of paint, get the sander and start sanding, it's long and messy.
