How to make the surfboard
November 20 , 2021

Shaping

 Our shaping rooms are very basic----with AKU shaper. In most cases, the shaping process starts out with the controller putting the AKU file into the computer,then he choose an appropriate sized blank to begin shaping. The AKU shaper will work on the contours of the decks, bottoms and rails,this guarantee that all the surfboards of one certain model are built in a unified standard.

Laminating

Once shaped and painted, the boards are covered with the fiberglass and epoxy or polyester resin. This process, called glassing, makes the boards waterproof and gives then their strength. On this stage, fiberglass cloth is cut and laid across the bottom of the board. Resin is then poured over the cloth and smoothed out to ensure that the cloth is evenly saturated. At the same time, the logo is firmly laminated onto the blank. The process is repeated on the deck of the board. The deck will have a heavier weave of fiberglass cloth than the bottom, because the top of the board must support the surfer’s weight.

Hot coating

 After laminated, the expert hot coater would apply a smooth coat of specially formulated resin onto the board. Containing one kind of wax as the sanding agent, this specially formulated resin seals the fiberglass cloth, and also serves as a sanding layer.

Sanding

  When the hot coat is completely dry, the sanders begin to send down the hot coat, using progressively lighter grit sandpaper, until the surface of the board achieves a smooth dull finish, without burns, scratches or sand-through.

Airbrushing

After the blanks are shaped, they are to be airbrushed. Our experienced airbrush workers are available to paint anything from flames on the deck to a fade on the rails. Based on different designs, the workers apply the acrylic paint onto the shaped blanks, to create pleasing blends and fades in brilliant colors.

Polishing

 Then the surfboards are finished the fine-sanded once again by the polishers. Through wet and dry sanding processes, any seams or beads which may have resulted from the previous steps are removed, and the board is buffed a polish compound to a high shine.

Assembly

We can offer many kinds of fins systems and also can assembly fins according to customers' request.
