I noticed in the video, you were carrying a "3" fin surfboard. Are there any advantages or differences between using a "3" fin, verses a "4" fin board, regarding performance? Back in the day when I was surfing, all I had was 'one' fin. And from this comment you can tell its been awhile.

8:55. No mask, no gloves and bathes in acetone. This dude is gnarly.
I was thinking the same thing. I hope the glasser is ok in the long run. It seems like cancer waiting to happen.
Yes ,very scary , was thinking the same thing , Never Try this at Home !😊.

I have a board which has flat bottom contour from nose to chest area (When your lying face-down and paddeling) and transitions gradually to a double concave in the middle of the board (No single concave before the double) then it transitions to a Vee at the tail end. I do not know what does that do for the board or the rider or how the board will behave in the water. It's a 6'6" x 21 x 2.75 Egg shaped board. I still haven't tried it because we are still on strict quarantine. It's still wrapped in it's packaging. It's my 1st board. Been riding rentals. Would appreciate it if you could tell me what to expect with that kind of bottom contour. Most boards start with a single concave then gradually transition to double but this one, from flat, goes to double right-away. Please do share if you have tried a board like this. Thank you and best of luck to your channel. :)
As is your first board you will not feel the difference until you are riding other boards. Let's say about 3 years surfing at least 3 times a week. That board will paddle slowly because it has a flat entry, also taking in consideration the buoyancy. Once on a wave, depending on the size, the double concave is meant for speed and the V for transition. Being an EGG shape makes is somehow maneuverable but then it again is all about the surfer. Don't expect huge turns on this, gotta some leg power to snap it. But is only a 6,6 so that's not that bad to maneuver it.
@Surfmus Thank you very much

@6:06 what is "darta"
A type of resinous traditionally used with carbud an feiburr, from way back in Polynesia days

Nice, but this is not a "How to" video like the description says. This is a video of someone who is shaping board.

You hate the environment and want the planet to melt into a big liquid pile of shit. Tell me you hate humanity, the ocean and all lifeforms without telling me that you hate all of those things I just listed. You’re going straight to hell when you’re done here, but I hope you have a good time and get plenty sweet waves before Jesus announces your number in the death raffle
