It is always a joy to pass on the knowledge and skill to the next generation. Their craftsmanship is outstanding.
Simply stunning craftsmanship and artistry built into the surf boards! All those different sources of reclaimed wood, now riding on a wave some where. Thank you for sharing Western Flyer's connection to Ventana Surfboards.
Love the art of wooden surf boards. True craftsmanship. Rode a few in my lifetime while surfing.
Excellent!! Great to see wood and other materials repurposed in such an artistic way instead of being burned or consigned to a landfill. Thanks. Can't wait to see the turtle inlaid into the transom.
We can't wait either! Thanks for watching!
I am a retired wooden boatbuilder from Germany and enjoy watching this series a lot. Much of that work and craftsmanship are very familiar to me. Amazing this work on those surfboards. Thank You all for sharing Your great work with us.
A true craftsman.
beautiful wood work. they look like guitars without strings.
Thank you!
Very unexpected and great woodwork. Thanks.
And again a pleasure watching it! Keep up the good work and, o yea ; Martijn Stiphout must be an artist with dutch roots, seeing his name and hearing his accent, always nice to see such succesful fellow countryman. Greetings from Katwijk, Holland.
Thank you! Martijn is Dutch! Thanks for watching.
What a super cool video.
Nice to see that the old wood gets a second life.
By the way that surf board she has made is a killer go girl👍👍💪💪💪
Thank you!

In the video your name sounds dutch
@@michaelbakker5314 This is David, but Martijn, my partner, is Dutch!
INHALE; and relax. Just what I need after a long complicated day. Thanks for your hard work
Amazing artistic boards. How satisfying it must be to not only surf but surf on a board you made yourself.
Very nice work. Cool surfboard too
Fascinating! Such beautiful craftsmanship! In addition to surfboards I see a budding shipwrights in his daughter! Enjoyed the ride!👍✌️😊🙏🏼
What gorgeous surf boards! And repurposed! Thanks so much for sharing this Chris.
Absolutely beautyful !
That is a true art/ discipline 👌.
Beautiful surfboards! Recycle at its best!
That was brilliant, thanks for sharing.
Unbelievable work
Nice. I do the same type of work , in my spare time. Done a red cedar striped timber 6" board(bit plane but looks great, I end up just oiling the outside), now doing my sister a jewellery box out of a reclaimed window frame. got my mind set to do a 10' long board tricky in lay design, thanks for the inspiration vlog.
I live thousands of Kilometres from the sea... but I'd buy one of these gorgeous wooden surf boards to hang on my living room wall as art.
WOW ! I never tought surf boards were made like this ! Awesome work of Art !
Congratulations to you all but especially to the young woman ! Great work, Mademoiselle !
As for reclaiming wood, years ago I was working in a studio (advertising) and a small company downstairs was importing copier paper from Indonesia. I recuperated wood palets from Indonesia. They were made with a very hard, reddish wood. Oh mein Got ! It was mahogany ! This wood is VERY expensive around here, in Montreal, Canada. I brought 6 palets home and spent hours after hours removing hardened nails ! Most planks were heavy, dense and beautiful when sanded. I stacked them in my backyard and used them restoring a garden table and forgot about the rest for years. Last November, I bought a small Tanzer 16 sailboat in dire need of TLC. (One of my retirement bucket list project.) I spent this winter reproducing the worn, rotting wood trim with my forgotten mahogany planks. After years outside, under rain, hot sun, snow in often - 25°C Canadian cold. They were still perfect ! Straight, no warping at all !!
Final sanding and epoxy coating will be done as soon as warmer spring is here.
Can't wait for the inaugural splash in June !
Hey, Thanks for watching.
Thank you! Most boards aren't made like that, but we're brining back an old style as it's stronger and more eco friendly.
That is some fantastic craftsmanship, they are winning at life
I agree, beautiful workmanship. Thanks for watching.
Thanks a ton! We're certainly doing our best.
Can't help but notice that those surfboards had keels, ribs, hull planking and deck planking even if they all looked a little unusual. :)
Super cool surfboards.....and video.
Thank you so much. An inspiring side trip.
Nice story. Great craftsmanship. Thanks
It’s good to see the trades continue into the future!
Agree! Thank you.
Great episode!
You guys are So Inspiring!! Beautiful tribute with the sea turtle...
I share the vision on the repurposed wood... how can it be re-imagined??? I do it all the time.
Thanks again Man!!!😷😷
Thanks and respect !
That was fun. I really enjoyed this visit to get another kind of restoration project. Wood could as wood would as if it were magic..
Great video. Yes there is beauty lying just beneath many disheveled looking things including people. Take a minute to look under the surface or past the first impression and find the beauty and value that was hidden. Cheers
Well said. Thanks for watching.
Truth! Thank you!
Thank you for the weekly updates - much appreciated!
BEAUTIFUL!
Those boards are amazing...!
cybersurfer2010 Thank you!
Beautiful boards.
Thank you very much for this video.
great video ,
That was delightful. What a pleasure to watch.
Yeah, I would say she knew a few things about that process. Cool stuff.
She did a great job...and had a lot of help :-)
Wish I could give this video 10 👍..
Pretty awsome..🤙
Great job nice way to mix it up a little bit
I enjoyed the diversion. Those boards look fantastic. Love the turtle, it'll look great on the deck. Atb.
Thank you!
Great content!
Thank you!
simply, amazing!
Well said, thanks for watching.
What an awesome video! Is there more hull planking available?
Just wow!
i build a hollow redwood 9' RA style surfboard years ago, finished the shaping and ready for glass then the shop burned down.
11:10 seems to be the board has the right dna... 😃
Exactly! Here's the detail: ventana.surf/products/dna-double-helix-longboard-90!
Awesome video, keep it up!
Nice thumbnail. That’s always a catchy thing, putting a pretty gal in. Inspired vid I love the turtle too.
Man I love these videos!!!
Sweet !
Inspiring, love the turtle.
Thanks! Can't wait to see that in the deck.
Excellent video, lovely craftsmanship!!
Really cool, thanks.
Thank you!
Hell yea
Really cool, enjoyed, :)
Beautiful
Amazing! would love to build one
Martijn Stiphout. It takes a Dutchman to repurpose woods into surfboards that look like pieces of art.
Exactly! Thanks for watching.
that was sooo coool
Ok this is going to be the "old Fart" coming out in me but those boards are too beautiful to take surfing.
They are works of art that deserve to be hanging on a wall in some gallery.
They're great for walls and/or waves!
Great stuff! Thanks. Maybe I can get a surfboard from Ventana that includes lumber off the Western Flyer! Now that would be something. :-)
Felipe...any relation to Ed?
Not that I know of though I suppose it is possible.
Perhaps a kindred spirit in some ways. The Log from the Sea of Cortez is one of my favorite books and it was a joy to find out that the Western Flyer still lives and is being reconstructed.
Best regards and keep up the good work! :-)
What becomes of the off cuts from the material you cut the parts from. It would seem it would be quite useful for working on smaller boats.
That is some amazing work. Wow. What is the material used around the edge? Edit - It's cork!
It is cork! Thanks for watching
Like building a wing on a plane
I guess it completely fills with water if you get a ding?
You'd have to really knock it for that to happen, but they are easy to repair. And, given that they are glassed inside and out, they won't be damaged from the water.
I want one. dude
Form over function, hang it on a wall. Just a work of art, many of the woods used are subject to rot if they become wet.
fixento whole thing is glassed though. I think that would protect the wood fairly well.
Our boards are glassed inside and out and are far sturdier than a traditional foam core board...and they surf great! More info: ventana.surf/faq
I loved the project but the video content was poorly handled. I watched Leo and he did an exceptionally well on the video coverage of the Tally Ho.
