HOW A PROFESSIONAL REALLY FIXES YOUR SURFBOARD: Futures fin box replacement

Hi all,

As I say in the video, many thanks for all the feedback and to those that have subscribed. It's actually blown me away if I'm honest. Apologies again for the rain in the background of the audio! --------------------------------------------

You'll get first look at new videos before they go public and we can go over your own repairs through that page as well.

There are always members only videos being posted up on youtube too which only you members will have access to.

I think what I like most about your channel is how thoughtful and methodical you are with your customer's valuable property. If I needed a repair done, I wouldn't call anyone else but you. 😎👍🏻

Very nice job! Making a repair as invisible as possible is the mark of a true craftsman!

Love your videos, mate. Always a joy to watch. I'm not a shaper, but I find your videos fascinating to watch.

One thing I did notice on your videos is that you can see the flickering of your lighting. Might be worth changing the shutter speeds based upon how many frames per second you are recoding and the frequency of the lighting. Then you won't see any flickering in your vids. Cheers. Yeeew.

Really nice job! I have to replace one of my boxes in a couple days and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!

Hey looks great! Polish work is excellent smart to feather up the board there for a consistent finish
Video quality is top as always
Its never easy to remove a box thats for sure
Yet you did such a good job you make it look easy

My question is this
Its my understanding we sand down to lamination fabric so the new repair lam we put down has something to strongly affix to. Here after putting in the box the overflow resin is squeegeed out over the previously sanded bottom showing fibers, thus messing up the nice fabric to fabric bond we worked to getting by sanding. Do you think this bond is worth fussing over? Or is it another area of ding repair that is a bit grey as to how important it is? Thanks for the great video and repair work

The futures gig doesn't need to be secured to the board from moving around..?

Thanks for the video. Question. After putting in the expanding foam and sanding it flat. Did you lay a sheet of glass prior to using the router and jig. I think I heard you say you did, but didn’t see it in the video. If so, was it a 4 ounce sheet? Thanks

[silva__surfer]

great video, what brand of expanding foam did you use and what kind of polish do you recommend?

[dudeleboski]

Mr. Small Kine, im sure you are thinking the same as what im thinking; “If blowing a Blank is so white, why cant we do the same pouring part A & B together for repairs”?…………….. is it possible to add a pigment to the liquid foam?

My God
Dude you are kinding me ...would never put a board on your hands to fix
Gave me chills..sorry for my honest opinion

[daliks]

have you ever tried routing it out in one go with the one-pass-install routerbit?

[benjaminnewman]

Can you tell me more about the expansion foam, where to buy ? What type is best ?

[dudeleboski]

Mate, have you tried to colour the resin, to make it more white?

[deanboful]

I agree about false advertising (Futures). One pass my ass.
