Darren B Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Wow that wood board Dave is out of sight I love it...........................
crazyjim Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Here's the surfboard that was made from 5 gallon size stir stick. It was made by Ken Leslie and that's his name here on the forum. http://public.fotki.com/oldcarguy1/1939-shasta-teardro/dscn6629.html
Swifster Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 I love all the boards. Keep them coming.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 You can make a template out of tape, stick it to a sheet of styrene and make yourself one, or make it out of real wood for that matter. It's fun.
Jantrix Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Yeah just get some 1:1 dimensions, scale them down, get some sheet stock and...................................
Dr. Cranky Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 You can get similar results to David's real wood long board. Excellent.
DavidChampagne Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I finally got around to finishing my surfboard. I stained it then covered it with Polyurethane. Then I decided to clear coat it with Testers Enamel clear. The clear felt dry to touch but never hardened. If I set the board on a rack, it would sort of dent the finish. And this was after days and days of drying. So I wet sanded with 1500 and 2000 and applied two coats of Future. It came out pretty good, considering I snapped and had to re-glue the fin,(THREE TIMES)!
wisdonm Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I have a modeling fiend in Australia, who is an avid surfer. I sent him a pix of a surfboard that I saw in the Ferrari store in South Beach, Fl. I think it was around $3,000. He sent me these three boards. The one on the left is from the pix that I sent him. The one on the right uses PE emblems.
southpier Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Buy some 1/16th inch basswood, layer two sheets together, cut out shape and sand to your hearts content. Use a piece of sheet plastic for the fin. You can make a bunch boards for not much money. The pics aren't about the board, but that's how I did this one. G
Tom Geiger Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 The Roth Surfite came with at least three decent surf boards.
Motor maker Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Abandoned roadside hubcap cut up into surfboards. I just started working on them again.
