Greenlight has made it easy for all surfers -
first time shapers to veteran craftsmen - to build quality, good looking, fun to ride surfboards.
Haven't built a surfboard before? No Problem!
Greenlight Surfboard Supply has created this comprehensive instructional video set to guide you through the process of building surfboards with Greenlight materials.
These videos are filmed in the realistic environment of a home shaper’s garage…. No expensive power tools or special shaping room lighting is needed. All that is required is a some time, common household tools, and desire to increase your stoke by building and riding your own surfboards.
Don't expect high def audio and video quality, or clips of surfers ripping waves on a boat trip somewhere. This video set is about teaching you the steps to building a surfboard that will look great and perform even better.
Unlike any other instructional surfboard building videos available, Greenlight building videos are created with first-time surfboard shapers and glassers in mind. These instructional videos fully explain every step throughout the process – what to do, why to do, how to do, what not to do (to avoid common novice mistakes) , and how to fix mistakes if you happen to make them.
With Greenlight materials and these easy to follow instructional videos, you will have all the knowledge and confidence to shape and glass a professional looking, fun to ride, performance surfboard.
Greenlight has chosen to offer these instructional vids in
VCD (Video CD) format instead of standard DVD.
With VCDs we are able to provide
5 timesthe instruction for 1/3rd the cost of a DVD.
Our VCDs can be viewed on most modern DVD players as well as
on all personal computers with CD-ROMs/DVD-ROMs,
a sound card and a good graphics card.
PC requires MPEG capable software. We recommend
