Board looks awesome! Loved what you did with the marker even if that wasn’t the goal initially haha.

True artist work with your mistakes. board looks amazing!! Keep up the great work🤙🏼

[EmilyinLombok]

Well done mate. Keep going the good work love seeing more videos

Did it back in the late 70's with dubious results. Still fun. I also took a perfectly good Gordon and Smith square tail and turned it into a swallowtail. Killer work. Subscribed.

Great work! Inspiring. And the solution to the ink spots was just brilliant.

[jezlucas]

That's really cool, I've made a few bits by no means know what I'm doing, but could be a great way to re use old boards

[brendonmasters]

Brings a new meaning to shining a turd. Well done. I'm about to rip some defective twin fins off a board and make it finless.

I’m sort of doing this now with my SUPER OLD short board. Wanted to turn it into a Mini Simmons but I don’t think the base is wide enough so i’m just reshaping the nose area since there were so much cracks and dings that I didn’t feel like re-doing the repairs.

HOLY CATS a full sleeve wet suit ??? the water must only be 85 degrees today !!! ha ha ha

[coreylyons]

Nice work man! Super entertaining and informative! Just an idea, I went to Lowe's and got a 90 degree angled PVC pipe and an end cap that I put on my planer, now I never get foam in my eye. I wish I had done it like a year ago...

[foamhacker]

Looks fun! What were the dims in the end? Like the commitment to your black ink mistake, I do that too haha

[aloiscoupry]

Awesome video man ! I love what you’re doing you should have more subscribers

[Shrednaught]

Sick job man! Sometimes the boards you have no idea or pressure to build come out the best.

[letourvisionexpand]

yewwww! dig your videos, always learning something new. You make it look so fun and easy. Is that on the other side of pv? ha!

[juanjohntramos]

Great job and the board came out nice.

[ishootyousurf]

pretty sick one . nice paint job as well!

[jruenuy]

A nice metalic green if it is possible with that goop would have made the black pop. But still very noice

[retrieveradventures]

We want to see you riding the equipment from the beach dude.

[allsurf]

Nice salvage. Doing a mini Simmons out of a broken longboard I found presently. Btw, if you had a tail pad you could pull an airverse!😂

[tomsmith]

Could you give me a run down of the best tools to start off with? I'm staring my own board repair on as a side hustle but could use some pointers
