How Surfboards Are Made | The Making Of

Kona Surf Co. is a surf shop located in Wildwood, NJ. It's run by a father-son team who have been surfing their entire lives. They're trying to reinvent how surfboards are made by taking a craft that was once only done by hand and now using advanced machinery to do the shaping instead. We got a peek inside how they are revolutionizing how surfboards are made.

How Surfboards Are Made | The Making Of

[@omegaman6193]

Um I didn’t get to see a surfboard being made, just shaped.

[@mrarican1271]

same thing

[@lukehayes1382]

They start with blanks ready done tho.

[@Fochit8611]

They get blanks which are quite literally just styrofoam with a wood strip down the middle.. that’s it. You didn’t miss anything unless you wanted to see someone glue styrofoam together.

[@iimsully2578]

All I was thinking about through this whole thing is big z from surfs up

[@Leva.Xterminator]

Same

[@mrmr3717]

True

[@maxjohnson2757]

That is THE surfing movie

[@annafowdy]

Find the board within the tree

[@zuko1569]

Normal people: _Use surfboards to surf_
Silver Surfer, an intellectual: _Uses surfboard to fly on air_

[@NotListening..Sorry._.]

Yep

[@NotListening..Sorry._.]

I want one

[@cwhf89]

Insider is so cool, I love the how it's made videos and learning how and where interesting things are made and where they're sold

[@fine-n-dandy]

Agreed!

[@bellgarling8899]

Yep

[@pagoeagle_4198]

Have you not seen “Surfs Up” ?

[@diateckchandani1761]

This is awesome

[@sophiadc6794]

When you realize you have entered the -ocean- surfer dude side of TH-cam

[@997_99]

Man you are the best

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Fun fact: Surfboards are boards that your surf on. *The more you know*

[@katiekats.]

Fun fact : I am stupid

[@overallaverage8546]

Fun fact: me am relly gud at speling and grammer :))

[@Andrew_wchs]

@@overallaverage8546 ok

[@DarkNookShop]

Love watching other artists build and create in their different fields. Seeing all these applications of the styles of artistic craftsmanship is inspiring. It's what got me to make my own channel. Thanks for this... please keep it up?

[@anajay6881]

Awesom

[@Surfmus]

I like making them my self from scratch. If I ever go to a shaper with my dimensions, and customization, they will never do it. No shaper on earth will know your surfing skills, and wants, hence the best shaper is our self.

[@ngozi.r8799]

i love insider its the best

[@bellgarling8899]

Ikr

[@situpstraightyoubananashap2754]

Great. But how much does it cost to get a CUSTOM board made?

[@agentjeido3077]

Just Jokes a lot probably

[@alexleplain4821]

Around 300to 500$ depending on the board u get and if u add a design but that’s only short boards long boards are more expensive cus there require more resin

[@plantingplantsandplants]

surfer kooks more than that

[@cian4380]

Any custom board can easily get over 1000$

[@aubschicken6063]

Just Jokes it depends but usually around the 500-600 mark

[@backyardshaper6435]

Still fun to shape your own board!

[@sen4603]

Great video as always!!

[@HybridDrummer7]

Awesome! How long was this from start to finish?

[@47bigcadillac]

what kind of foam is that ? heavy duty expanded polysterene ? where can you buy it ?

[@jeremygarcia25]

I want to do a surf board by hand ^^

[@srilankanhits660]

I like to make handmade surfboard tell me which type of material use for it

[@colby6054]

I already knew this from Surf’s Up

[@death_knell]

Haha same🤙🏽🌺

[@blue.birdee]

I literally thought the thumbnail was Mr. Clean for a hot second

[@johnvu4929]

Same

[@laughlyrics853]

What kind board is good for begginers?

[@fibrehacker]

Insider Had Tell Me Much About World in Just 2 Years

[@valeriereyes3964]

Lots work

[@loganmills3358]

that store is only like 20 minutes away from where i live😂

[@AlyHassam]

So how are surfboards actually made?

[@jaynecobb3701]

The video was just released 3 days ago. You know where to find it.

[@Mario.alsanchez117]

YOU MUST BE READY!

[@jamisonsmith2648]

I have an idea/invention for surfboards, have a camera built into the bottom of the board that scans what's beneath you and with an alarm or flashing light built in the top of the surf board, when the camera spots a shark after scanning it will trigger the alarm letting the surfer know a shark is nearby

[@noahjenkinson1369]

That light would be flashing almost 24/7 haha

[@zoupe5767]

What is the foam called that they use

[@Surfmus]

PU. But you can use foams, like EPS and XPS, basically to shape a board you can make it of any core that floates. Hollow wood surfboard. I make all my surfboards.

[@zoupe5767]

Surfmus thanks

[@titaniumapple1]

Yeah that didn't go into anywhere near enough depth about the whole process or the costs, cool machine though

[@Frodo.Teabaggins]

Shaped.... not made exactly. Glassing should be included to finalize the process

[@siren_serene185]

Before 1k ?

[@420Kleiner]

Narrator: very fine grit
Video: rasp

[@jadethegreat3657]

First one here!!

[@lukej557]

How surfboard cores are shaped*

[@bunni5439]

*they just cut them off ironing boards and add an iron on the bottom*

[@jennglow4647]

😲

[@cwhf89]

Hi

[@norpriest521]

So Silver Surfer got his surfboard from here?

[@HELLO_KORO]
