Dude I already loved your boards, and the videos are just amazing. Thank you! Would be absolutely awessome to see how you glass those channels! Cheers!
Wow, Really nice work. I build wooden hollow boards made of pauwlonia and thinking of adding a center channel to a twin fish. How deep do those center channels gets in mm on the edge of the tail? 10mm or so ??
Fanastic job demonstrating! Would i do the same thing for a quad fins and 4 channels the same way you did the external channels for the internal channels along the internal fins? Thanks again!
It is more complex. When you wrap the glass around the rails it can cause the glass to “tent” up in the channels causing massive air bubbles under neath. There’s a few tricks to get around this that’ll I’ll show in the glassing video of this board 🤙
You’ve inspired me to try channels on my next project! Thanks for putting out such great videos. What kind of rocker numbers (nose & tail) did you use on this type of board?
They can add some bite through the tail section when engaging. Or help hold through the suckier barrel type sections. This is subjective though. I personally am not a huge fan as I find they feel stiff. But it’s always up to the rider 🤙
I use 3M 233+ Yeh painters tape will fall off. Make sure you clean as much dust off the board as possible either with a dust brush or air compressor and then when you have you tape down lightly press it down with the back of a razor or a pop stick. Hope that helps mate 🤙
@@Shrednaught nice! If it were twinfin how much distance? From tail to fins?. I am doing a rounded pin Twinfin surboard with channels and I have doubts. 🙌🏽 thanks so much for the support
That kinda depends on the length of the board and also the fins you want to use. Upright twins will be slightly different to keels. Do a google and there is a bunch of info to read up about these placements.
Hey mate awesome vid, just curious about bottom contours with channels. Did you do any V at the back before putting the channels in? Or flat surface? I have a little square tail fish twinny I am shaping have done single concave through to slight V, hoping I can still put channels into this setup?
This is amazing, thanks for sharing. I'm curious how you would deal with fin boxes if they weren't glassed on? The inside part of the future box would stick out into the channel, right?
Thanks mate. The fin boxes would dictate where the channels would run so you could avoid that scenario. For example I’d mark my fin positions , route my fin boxes out and then do my channels based on the fin boxes. You can use thicker tape the same way in the video if you’re using boxes and it’ll get you past the box flange. Hope that made some sort of sense haha 🤙
what an artist! thank you. I can appreciate the extra work that goes into making channels
Dude I already loved your boards, and the videos are just amazing. Thank you!
Would be absolutely awessome to see how you glass those channels! Cheers!
Will have that video done soon 🤙
This technique is genius! That board looks SICK!!!
Thanks mate. I’ll have a full start to finish on a board very similar soon.
@@Shrednaught I will be standing by! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
Yeeewww, stoked for the next video dude - keep up the good work!
Yew! Next couple of builds are going to be pretty insane. 🤙
Thanks coach, awesome vid, off to put some channels into my own Christmas pressy 🤙😁 Happy surfing
Yew! Good luck 🤙
Loving the videos man. Been looking for a decent channel tutorial, this answered all my questions.
Thanks man. Glad the vid helped 🤙
Awesome video, never saw a channels tutorial so in depth like yours, keep it up mate 🤙🏼
Thanks mate 🤘
Love your work Mitch. Stoked to see you still at it. Cheers. Nick (ex Fin Library)
Yew! Thanks Nick.
Oh hey Nick! ✌
Another legend vid mate….keep them coming.
Yew thanks man 🤘
Greats vids, man! I'd love to see how you laminate those channels. Keep 'em commin'! Cheers!
Check out my videos section man. I have a video on glassing the channels 🤘

Is it any harder to glass a board with channels?

Hey mate when making a board do you have a shaping room and a separate room for glassing, any info on how to set up rooms and what is needed. cheers
Yeh I do but it isn’t necessary. You can shape and glass in the same room you just need make sure you give the room a real good clean before glassing
You’ve inspired me to try channels on my next project! Thanks for putting out such great videos.
What kind of rocker numbers (nose & tail) did you use on this type of board?
From memory it was around N 4 1/2 T 2
Do you show how to glass the cannels?
Yeh mate, I have another video uploaded on my channel showing how to do this.
Oiii that tape method is mint! You think you’d be able to make a video about glassing channels too?
Yeh man. Literally filmed the channels being glassed today. Should have it up in about a week or so 🤙 yew!
Quick one - where did you get the rasp & rounded surform?
Shapers sell them online man. Not too expensive
I've never had a board with channels. What do they do for handling?
They can add some bite through the tail section when engaging. Or help hold through the suckier barrel type sections.
This is subjective though. I personally am not a huge fan as I find they feel stiff. But it’s always up to the rider 🤙
@@Shrednaught awesome explanation! Thank you. I'll have to try one and see what it's all about 🤘🏻
That’s a good idea. Yew!
What kind of tape do you use? The painters tape I use never likes to stick to foam
I use 3M 233+
Yeh painters tape will fall off. Make sure you clean as much dust off the board as possible either with a dust brush or air compressor and then when you have you tape down lightly press it down with the back of a razor or a pop stick.
Hope that helps mate 🤙
Awesome vid! How wide is your tape?
Great work, I have learned so much. One question, how much distance is from tail to fins?. Thank you so much for you support! 🙌🏽
For this particular board it was about 10 1/2 - 3/4 for sides and 2 1/2 for trailer.

why did u shape the channels first before shaping the rest of the board
The board was already shaped mate. Channels are the last thing apart from a final swipe with some high grit gauze

I generally go with flat but as long as it’s not too extreme I don’t see why you still couldn’t. 🤙

@@Shrednaught makes total sense mate, well explained. Keep seeing these boards so I'll have to make one for myself to see what all the hype is about
@@foamhacker6396 can never go wrong with more boards 😅
killer thanks
Awesooooome

choice bro.

You look like Ben gravy with brown hair… Am I the only one that see'sit? Lol
Thanks … I think? Haha
