Cerritos College Homebuilder Surfboard Workshop - April 22nd!!

General Discussion
1

The next Cerritos College workshop is in the works. This next event will focus on the garage shaper and cover items such as ding repair, fin placement and design, glassing, and other topics. The plan is to have some lecture and demos with lots of Q & A time. If there are items you would like to see covered, let us know and we will see if we can incorporate them into the workshop. Exact date and time to follow…

Thanks!!!

Ken,

I’m looking forward to it. Let me know if I can help.

This might be a dumb question but, is there a limit to the amount of people that may attend? Also is there a cost to participate? Thanks

Bill…

We would love to have you share your expertise. What topic would you like to talk about?

Thanks!!

Art…

 There will be a limit of 40 people at the workshop, and there will be a $ 20.00 donation.  Included will be another BBQ and more info on special surfboard building classes that we are working on.  The plan is to have a special class (maybe on weekends) where you can build your own surfboard, and puruchase all the material through the Cerritos Plastic Club at or near cost.  To purchase these items you will have to be a registered student and there will be a limit to how much material you can purchase.  The idea is to allow you to purchase enough to do your class project (surfboard).   The items will include EPS blanks (American Blanks) epoxy (Resin Research), as well as fin boxes, leash plugs, fiberglass, etc... 



 Thanks!!!

silly question but for those of us unable to participate are there any hand outs produced as part of this course? I was just thinking that the cousre notes would be a great resource for the other homebuilders to refer to.

thanks

Hi Ken, glad to see you back. You must be pretty busy, yeah? It wll be hard if not impossible for me to attend because of family obligations. After the last Cerritos event there was talk about making a DVD/Video of the proceedings. Did anyone ever do that? Wold something like that be possible for this one? Also who will the experts be this time aournd?

 Maybe we can solicit some of the Swaylockers to help in that effort.  There are also a lot of Lurkers out there that could jump in and help!

We will see if we can get Greg to make a return trip as well as Hank Johns. I plan on seeing if I can get several of the fin Mfg’s to explain their products and installation processes. Bill Thrailkill as graciously volunteered to discuss some of the topics and his craftsmenship.

More to come…

Ken,

When are you planning it? I could shoot it and maybe talk a friend into editing. It all depends on how technical we want to make the vid.

I’ve done my share of editing using Adobe Premiere, would be willing to do it if your friend doesn’t want to…

13

Jesus…

That would be great!! I think there is also a DSL connection through the College, so with a little work, the whoule thing could even be live cast!  Any suggestions??? 



    Thanks!!!

c’mon guys and girls, and you lurkers…I just got my call back for RSVP, there’s still room! Make the call to Terry!

16

what’s the date? Don’t want to take up a spot if I can’t be there due to a conflict…

17

they do not have a date set in stone yet. They’ll call you back once you RSVP when they have it set.

18

I’m RSVP’d.

I’m probably in the right demographic here. I’m a basic hobbiest in this area. There’s no way I could do it and make money. I’m too slow.

Airframe asked for topics or demonstrations. Here are some things I’d like to learn more about:

Installing finboxes.

Freelaps and cutlaps.

Working with epoxy resin. I’ve worked with poly and read about epoxy, but I’d like to actually see how epoxy flows and absorbs into the glass as well as how it handles when it gels or stiffens.

Sounds like good time. I look forward to it.

19

more topics;

installing glass on fins

glassing tips (butt cracks, pintails, noses) and wings (they’re a bitch!)

i’m very interested in this workshop, just needed to know date or a general time frame. one class, weekend class?
