Hey brotha, loved the video! nice job, the board looks awesome! What grit sandpaper did you use to sand the entire board after you put the fin boxes in?

Ok thanks. I think there is a bit of confusion in wights of glass. Because 4oz in woven glass on surf site is 125g. But if I ordered 1.5 oz chopped strand I would get 450g. Ok now I know what weights we are talking about 😉 very light

4oz glass seems very heavy to me. It doesn't look like a heavy glass you are using? 2oz I think is equivalent to 600g that would be the heaviest woven glass we use in dinghy building.

it ranges to be honest, it can be as small as half an inch to an inch and a half, but generally stringers are smaller rather than bigger, grain can vary but generally runs in between the both, doesnt usually matter though 🙂

Gotcha, thanks for the reply! 🙂 What thickness balsa is normally used and does the grain run parallel or perpendicular to the board's length?

you generally buy a blank a foot or so longer than you want your board to be, and yes the spine is called a stringer and its usually made from balsa. boards can also have multiple stringers.

I have never built a surfboard before or surfed ever in my life, but I find the building process fascinating. Do you buy a standard surfboard foam blank and then shape your self? Also is there a spine running up the center of the board?

Thanks, just curious 🙂 Great work!
