Surfboard manufacturing involves creating boards designed for riding waves. The process typically starts with selecting materials like foam for the core and fiberglass for the outer layer. Manufacturers shape the foam into the desired board design, which can vary based on the type of surfing, such as shortboards or longboards. After shaping, the board is coated with resin and fiberglass to provide strength and durability. Once cured, the board is sanded and polished for a smooth finish. Finally, graphics or artwork may be added before the board is ready for use in the ocean, making it a blend of art and engineering.
