This is a time-lapsed surfboard build from start to finish. The board is a scratch built 6'6" x 24" x 3" EPS and epoxy, it's wide and floaty for all those tiny days when I don't want to take out the longboard. I loosely based it on the CI Average Joe.
Here is where I usually order surf supplies and epoxy. Plus the products used in the build (affiliate links)
