Surfboard Shaping 101
Kimo shapes a custom
Honolulu
longboard. Here he goes through the entire shaping
process which begins with drawing the outline of the
board and cutting the blank. The blank is then hand
shaped with custom rails, concave, vee, and channels.
Once the blank has been hand shaped and every contour
scrutinized, the board is glassed with fiberglass resin.
After the resin has cured, the board is then hand-sanded
and gloss polished. The Honolulu model is now ready
to rock and roll.
