How to shape Agave Boards

On this page, you'll find everything you need to get started with shaping surfboards from our sustainable Agave blanks. We've curated a selection of YouTube videos and provided a detailed downloadable guide to walk you through each step of the process. Whether you're an experienced shaper or a beginner, our resources will help you craft an eco-friendly surfboard.

STEP 1

Measure your Stringer

All blanks have a center pole. From the two glue lines of the center pole you can measure your stringer through the entire board.

CNC Preshape

Finger router or blade both are possible but blade gives better finish / recommended for VL blanks
Drilling speed as maximum / running speed VL 80%, LT 65%, STD 50% (for both machines)

Hand shaping

Shape as much with a planer. The planer is made for wood and cuts agave even better than foam.

STEP 2

Good to know

There are 10 to 30 different agave plants in a blank. Growblanks has the ability to offer 3 different densities because of their enormous ranch of plants on the farm which they sort into very light, light and standard poles. When sanding it is important to understand that there are multiple plants in your blank that may have naturally slightly different densities. This can be a little challenge when sanding the nose and tail. Sand with care, watch in between!

Sanding

Start with the hardest pad you have to avoid dings in softer areas due to slightly different densities. In the best case you use the Mirka sanding block or the Mirka Deros connected to the vacuum dust absorber.
The most complicated part is sanding the rails, like on a longboard with multiple stringers.
TIP: Use a measuring tool to bend in a smooth curve and check for flat spots in the outline.
After sanding, you can use the hand planer to reduce the glue lines that may pop out a little.

STEP 4

GOOD TO KNOW

The fiber structure of agave is full of air, similar to a long bundle of straws. This feature makes the Agave so light but also strong. It is also beneficial in case of dings, as water will run along the grain and not penetrate the core of the surfboard. Before lamination, it is important to close the fibers with a sealing step, similar to EPS foam.

Sealing

It is necessary to make a filler coat with Eco Epoxy and Aerosil (silica) 50/50 by volume. It also works with polyester, but be careful with the amount of hardener in the polyester resin. Make sure the resin bonds to the agave core. Avoid too rapid curing.
Use a squeegee to apply the filler coat to the bottom, rails, and fin boxes. At this stage, install the fin plugs as usual.
After 1 hour of drying time (epoxy) you can close the plug with a tape and start the bottom lamination with a free lap around the rails.
TIP: After 30 min to 1h go back on the board to reduce epoxy drops and press the free lap against the board again.

Sei Whale Biobased Epoxy

All-purpose Biobased Epoxy System. Sei Whale is a clear, all-purpose epoxy system with high UV resistance and a choice of hardener speeds to suit your working time. It is good for hand lay-up, coating and filling, among other applications. This is a bio-based epoxy system that helps to reduce the environmental impact of our customers' end products, while maintaining or improving product performance. The R*Concept range of epoxy systems have been developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing some of the petroleum-based components with bio-based renewable materials. As a concept dedicated to respect for the environment, each epoxy system in the range is named after a species threatened with extinction. Sei Whale epoxy has a low viscosity which makes for easy saturation of fibreglass reinforcements. It also has a wide working temperature range that makes it convenient for many end users. Its high UV stability makes it ideal for applications that require clear, low yellowing finishes. Like most epoxies, this resin has a slight tint, so is not suitable for clear casting. The Sei Whale epoxy system includes the Sei Whale epoxy resin and can be purchased in two different hardener options: slow & fast. Mix Ratio: 2:1 by Volume Fast hardener 100:50 by weight Slow Hardener 100:46 by weight Working temperature range: 10-35°C Fast Cure: 12-17 minute pot life at 25°C. Slow Cure: 45-55 minute pot life at 25°C.

Silica / Aerosil 200 / Thixotropic powder

AEROSIL 200 is a hydrophilic fumed silica with a specific surface area of 200 m²/g.Composite materials: Silica can be used as a filler or reinforcing material in composites for the manufacture of surfboards. In combination with resins such as epoxy or polyester resins, silica can help to improve the strength and durability of the surfboard by adding stiffness to the material. Surfboard applications: fin plugs, sealing and repairs. Sealing:The concept resin with silica is a universally applicable material mix that is used for EPS blanks and also for our Agave blanks to seal air chambers or grains. Further information on the process can be found in the video. Lightweight construction:Silica can also help reduce the weight of surfboards, especially when used as a filler in lighter foam cores or agave blanks. Lighter surfboards have better flex characteristics and offer better maneuverability. Therefore, it is an important part of the sealing process. Repairs: Silica-based materials such as epoxy resin are often used for surfboard repairs. These materials can be mixed with silica powder to form a viscous paste that can effectively repair cracks and damage to the surfboard. Silica, also known as thixotropic powder, acts as a thickening agent due to its angular structure, which in high consistens turns resins into a kind of filler and thus prevents the compound from running away.Optics: Silica (quartz sand) is transulent in itself and can add turbidity in large quantities.

Hydrophobic sealer / impregnation

The hydrophobic primer is a deep impregnation for wood and other materials. It coats the material, penetrates deeply and forms a water-repellent protective layer. The Grow Blanks primer is alcohol-based and therefore a deep impregnation. Perfect for all wooden surfboards that come into contact with water a lot. A must for all absorbent materials, including EPS.

From €23.80*

STEP 5

Laminating

After 4 hours, once the epoxy is no longer sticky, flip the board and repeat the process on the other side. This lamination technique ensures a stronger bond for the epoxy. If you prefer to sand between the laminations when it’s fully cured , there is no problem when working with agave.
TIP: For extra light boards and deeper impregnation, first seal the entire board, especially the rails and bottom, with our hydrophobic sealer. This step is done before the Airosil sealer/filler. Avoid sealing the fin plugs to ensure they are well infused with epoxy and securely bonded.
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR WORKING WITH COLORS: For tinted resin, use a cut lap technique during sealing. For spray colors, seal the entire board first, lightly sand it, and then spray the colors as usual on the filler coat before lamination.
