In this video I tint the deck of the longboard, continuing the surfboard build. I don't do a lot of tint jobs as I find EPS foam doesn't take tint very well unless it is sealed really well as it's not as homogeneous as polyurethane surfboard foam (it's got all kinds of little beads that can tear out). Overall the tint job did come out well and looks great. Also check out the previous video where I glassed the bottom of the surfboard, see below for the playlist.
If you want to know all the steps for how to make a surfboard check out some of the other build series I have done below. I've finished this surfboard and getting around to editing the videos now. More to come.
Here is where I placed the order for the surf supplies and they provided the blank to me free of charge for this build (affiliate link):

The guys at Greenlight are awesome to deal with and the affiliate link helps me build the channel, I get a small percentage of the sale but it costs you nothing though!
