"When I was at the 2011 CARV Expo, a surf and skate trade show in San Diego promoting The Seaglass Project boards with Global Surf Industries, Donald Brink shared a mind expanding design innovation with me. He told me how he shapes EPS boards and then glasses them with common fabric and water based varnish. This has influenced the way I make surfboards now and opened the door to any surfboard maker in the world. These three ingredients can be found just about anywhere and one's own imagination is the only limit to new surfboard designs."

I'd like to hear more about this, Tom. Can't find anything online. Possibly a cheaper way for backyarders to test shapes before committing to more expensive laminates?

Stu, thank you very much for the comment. Happy that you are following! You are absolutely right. It is a great way to quickly and cheaply test your design ideas and that is exactly what I did. When we dive deeper in the 'how' to make surfboards I will be sharing more on this topic.
