I love surfing, building with my hands and making videos. Bendheim Boards is my outlet to fuel these passions. I'm self-taught and am not an expert, but these videos show the process that works for me. Follow along for new videos every month!

Just enough of each step to keep it interesting. And of course, the board turns out looking great. I've never built my own board. It'd be cool to surf something you made yourself. Great job all the way around! Dig factor 9!

Beautiful job on the board. Really nice work. I was Greenlight’s first ever employee back around ‘09-‘10. Helped Brian get a couple of his NJ locations off the ground. After teaching the board making course for a while I moved onto glassing for some of the local guys and doing my own stuff. Haven’t made a board in a couple years, but this brought back some good memories. Keep up the good work. 🤙

This is so inspiring! My grandfather was from Spain. He was what they call a Riviera Master (one of the last ones in the Dominican Republic). Riviera masters would chop trees down and build huge sailboats the old-fashioned way. He came from a long line of Riviera masters from Vigo, Spain. (His family have been boat builders since the times of Columbus and passed on the skills from father to son). It's in my blood. I love watching how things that float are made. This was so awesome.

@jonnyzuma6884 3 жыл бұрын

@@Dominic94St yes, it prevents that from happening, but it’s an added bonus. The reason you don’t put the leash plug in under the glass is because it comes with a raised lip around it, which needs to be ground down after installing it. If you grind it down on exposed foam, you will cut away foam around it. If you grind it down to exposed fiberglass, you will burn through the fiberglass, into the foam. It has to be done on the harder, sandable hot coat.
