Tax deductible surf trip? You betcha!

Dave Simmons says:

Certainly hope he's adding a piece of cloth when he apparently applies the logo decals top and bottom – at filler coat stage ! ? …NEVER DO THAT.

Vieupite says:

BEAU TRAVAIL! Mais faut tout de meme porter un masque pour le pistolet 😉

Your old man was a prize narcissist t…..r. Okay? I' ve been surfing since 59, I shaped my first board when I was 13. The sixties was crammed with blow hard stars, 15 minutes of fame. Came and went. I surfed with the best!! We brought the short board into being. And you never heard of me, like so many others. Take a hike, boy! Get a real job.

Станислав Кечин says:

that for the material used for making surf?
May I ask your specification?

Anna Sophie says:

For all of you who are asking for the songs: Music tracks are in the credits!!

Jeremy Stepp says:

I have a question.

If I wanted to make the worlds biggest surfboard, could I sand cast it right there on the beach, with liquid expanding foam?

A. grandis says:

Oh, nice video!
Mr. Rae Neil:
I know lots of renowned glassers that choose not to use mask. 
Why is that?
When I was a kid, around 16-17, I used to fix surfboards for me and many friends and had a problem in my blood because I didn't wear a mask. Went to the doctor because a hurt wouldn't heal for a month. He said it was the gas from the resin. As soon as I stop fixing surfboards the hurt healed.

I really appreciate your hard work and many years of serving the surf community!

Good glassers deserve recognition!
Thanks for the video!!!
Aloha.
