Hey, come help me clean up the board.
Wait, watch this.
Watch it, I'm not jumping in, look.
Very good.
All right, do you want to learn how to fix a surf board?
Ahh hmm.
Huh-hmm.
Solarez.
All right.
I'm doing a very basic job.
Enough! The cap will not come off, come on.
Yeah.
I'll show you, don't squeeze it!
Wait up.
Okay, so I'm just going to, I'm doing a very quick
job here, quick and dirty.
Just because I want to get in the water.
I just sealed that, but there's a bit
of a part there.
So I'm just going to open it up a little bit,
and then you're going to squeeze in this stuff, okay?
So hold up, don't open it just yet.
I just need my knife.
You have knife?
Ya man
You carried it on the plane?
Suppose they caught you?
They didn't catch me, I checked it
So I just want to open it a little bit.
Just so the resin can get inside.
Just a little bit.
Okay!
Open it?
Open it up.
Yeah?
Now, now not too much, just a little bit.
You see that hole?
You want to squeeze it in there.
Squeeze it, yeah.
Mash it down, you good?
No, no, not touch it, not touch it.
Okay, that's good, perfect.
So we got a little bit on there.
So now it's dripping, uh oh.
We got a bit of plastic.
Let's try this again.
I got a better idea, we'll do a bit of a better angle.
So...
Try this.
I'm going to set it up like so,
and I want you to come squeeze again, okay?
Yeah, that's my scraper guard.
So RatRat, can you see how there's a hole in the top?
Can you fill the hole there?
Yeah!
Here, come on this side.
No, I can stand here.
Oh, you can stand there?
This one?
Yes, see how there's like a hole in there?
Squeeze it inside.
There you go, dab it, okay?
Now, take it off, no, no, no, no.
Don't touch, don't touch.
I can touch.
No man, this stuff is so sticky.
Take it off your hand, yeah.
Really sticky.
Is it sticky?
Yeah.
You're done, is it okay?
Yeah, it is.
It's okay?
All right, that stuff will stick
to you real quick.
And then Rat you know what you do?
Yeah?
You do a little bit of plastic.
So we hold that, it's going to take
five minutes in the sun.
Five minutes, and it's going to dry up.
One?
The sun's kind of going down,
so hopefully we have enough time but...
One! No, two!
And then we do the quick sand job so...
Two, two, two.
Board shapers everywhere are cringing at this tale,
but, as you can see, this is my beater board.
It looks good.
This board's been through hell and back.
And I'm going to leave it here for future enjoyment.
Yes, that's how you scrape the wax off, exactly.
So you do it in one long thing, let me show you.
Let go, let go.
We'll get the other one for you,
it'll be way easier.
I'll show you how that works.
Uhhlll.
You know what helps too, I'll show you.
My way, no man.
Ahhh.
Ah, good job.
So this one's pretty much ready for new wax.
You look here.
Good job, sticky icky.
No, no, no, don't touch it yet man.
You got to leave it five minutes,
it takes five minutes to harden.
Three, three, three, three, three, three.
You're quick to the jump.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27
31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39
40, 41, 42, 43, 44,
3:30, 4:30
45, 46, 47, 48, 49,
50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55,
Very good.
56, 57, 58,
Good job.
59, 60, four! Four, three.
43!
I see another little part that could use it.
Oh shit, now see?
It hardened.
I don't know what to do here.
So see how you left that open?
It's hard already.
Touch it.
Let me see.
What?
I forgot to tell you to close it.
That dries so quick.
Wait, make a try, make a try.
No!
It's hard.
You got to get it before, see it totally hardened.
Don't grab it.
Here, oh no.
Very quick.
A little bit of squeeze.
Don't touch it!
Now five.
Not yet, that's a quick five minutes.
Nine...
Nine.
Eight, seven, six, five,
four, three, two one.
Now it's been enough time, now we can sand the tail.
It's not sticky anymore, now you can sand it, okay?
So, no, no, no, no .
Wait until I tell you.
Okay, so, come over here.
Here.
Wait, wait, wait.
Yes!
Don't!
Okay, I'm going to finish,
he's getting called by like 10 people.
Okay, you ready?
Yeah.
So this is the rough side,
you start with the rough side.
And then you do the other side after.
So start with this side,
and that's the part we just did.
So you want to just make it smooth.
See how it's kind of sticking up?
That fine?
Yeah, so you want it smooth all the way around.
Give it a good sand.
There you go.
Very good.
Done.
Is it smooth?
Yes.
Let me feel.
Uhh.
Pretty smooth, but it's still sticking out.
Where?
It's kind of bumpy.
Where, where?
You feel that?
Oh yeah.
Yeah, a little more.
Rat!
Yeah!
Yes!
Okay, little better yeah, getting smoother.
Can you do a little bit here too?
Because I added a little extra.
Pretty good!
That side's done, that side already got professionally done,
it's very smooth.
I'm just going to do a little on the top.
Okay.
Good enough for now.
He teaches me farming, and I teach him
very poor surf board repair.
But good trade anyway.
