🙌 yeeew!

Always grateful!

Totally agree! Cheers David!

Thanks for the feedback my man - we'll try to get a better balance of the sound next time!

Thanks man! It's fun to make the videos too - makes us re-think the whole process and try to articulate the thinking in every step :)

Lie Nielsen low angle jack plane and brass low angle lock plane. Japanese block plane - not sure what model/size specifically, but around 180mm long. Veritas standard block plane and flat spokeshave made by Clifton - love them all!

Thank you! Happy Holidays!

Poor Buddy! But he's always happy when we get back to the workshop, eat his breakfast and a nice walk!

@@ottersurfboards Ah yes, the breakfast, we all know that Labradors love breakfast, and dinner and tea and something in between.

So fun! What a find!

Yeheew, Chris was on fire!

Thanks Sebastian!

You're quite right....a lesson learned in limits of our skills and how important it is to put safety first - thsankfully it was just the boards that were damaged.

complete bummer - gonna get to work on a 'how to repair' video, haha! Yeah, family commitments mean that the slide passed me by - it looks like it was good fun! Waves and sunshine! Oh yeh, Harlyn is a great punchy wave....it'll really come to life over the coming months when some bigger swells start filling in :)

@@ottersurfboards At least the ripples at Harlyn are bigger than the ones in Sheffield - lol!

haha!! It turns out you can never have too many clamps!

Awesome!!! It is so much fun!!!! Have you had a go yet?

our pleasure! It's great fun making the videos...shaping next!!!

haha! Just a few - it turns out you can never have too many!

Thanks so much!

No worries, thanks for the kind words!

Diffficult to trace responsible, biodiverse, regenerative growth and production...needs to travel half way round the globe and locally grown cedar works perfectly for us :)

Good question! All our boards are fitted with vents that allow them to breathe. Either a goretex one or a bung style one depending on the customers needs :)

Thanks for the feedback, which part do you feel is missing detail? We try to capture our process as best as we can :)

@@ottersurfboards excuse me, I build ultralight boats and use wood like you. Wide frames without details are frustrating even if your explanations are pertinent. I don't understand your target, but an enthusiast will want to see shapes, work details, compare, draw conclusions, otherwise why would he look? There are hundreds of books about boat building, but a video can be more interesting

@@shase6shase Cool, thanks for the input - we're always trying to learn how to make better videos, so thanks for the thoughtful feedback :) Our intention was to give people a good idea of what to expect when they join us to make a surfboard on one of our workshop weeks as opposed to making a true 'how to make a surfboard' video.

Thanks so much! Have you ever had a go on a wooden surfboard?

We couldn't agree more!

You're welcome! Next one coming soon

Thanks for the love! We were stoked wiht how this project all came together and to see Alan ripping on the board we made for him was incredible!

It's an amazing video . I'm looking to buy equipment soon for a make makeshift space in order to make wooden boards or at least start. Is there a way I can understand more regarding the specs and designs in CAD/design software. Is there a website I can learn more or download standard board designs so I can tweak them as I learn more. I understand the making part I just have never used cad and especially for something like this.!any advice would be welcome. Thanks. The videos are fantastic 😍

We don't, and have thought about it, but the wetsuit usually does a good job at gripping

Thanks!

Absolutely!

From our experience it's for sure the best way to do it!

yeheew!!

Hi, once you have sanded it down it depends what the board was originally finished with, we use a few coats of tung oil, usually does the trick!

Thanks man! It depends where you are, but in the UK there are a couple of online stockists :)

haha well said!

Absolutely!!

All of our surfboards are hollow and built around an internal frame, the frames are laser cut specifically to each shape and include features such as concave, which means the concave exists prior to shaping. I hope that answers your question!

Would you have the plan for the 9’8 as I am wanting to make my own wooden long surfboard
