questions to take you guys down a rabbit trail, don't the solvents eat the styrofoam up when they start to glass over the styrofoam core of a surf board??? I know that styrofoam is pretty fragile when it comes to solvents...

without going to far down that rabbit hole its the "type" of polyurethane foam & resin thats used, if you have 5 minutes watch this youtube.

we were making custom boards in avila...we cut down bigger boards, re shaped them and re glass'd them...

It was pretty cool to see that video from ElToro, I have seen bits and pieces of it before... Its amazing to me how easy that a pro can make the glass/resin work look... :)

yep, remember when that was happening. right around '68-'69 popular thing to do. now all those old longboards (even popouts) are valuable to collectors. I didn't keep any old boards since I would trade them in for the "latest" model. when all the "cool" kids started surfing on 5 ft. fish style surfboards, I didn't adapt well & started waterskiing instead.
