Watch the video, use English subtitles, click on the CC on the player below.
A) What to do after REGISTERING?
1 - Check your e-mail inbox
If you are here, it is because you have clicked on a link, inside an e-mail we've sent you.
The email name is:
"[David Weber Surfboards] Welcome to the Online Workshop - Surfboards"
In this e-mail you also find:
a) Voucher (to get your plans)
b) Your login (the same e-mail adress you are in) and temporary password
c) Telegram group Invite (this is the invite for the Online Support Community
d) Also the link for this page! 😉
2 - Choose a Surfboard to build!
(Use your Voucher)
No rush needed! You don't need to decide that now!
*your Voucher will be available after 9 days
If in any case, you received a Voucher for more than 1+ Surfboard plans, you should get Plans separately (one by one) - with that, we mean:
Use the same Voucher multiple times to get the plans one at a time.
You need to type the Voucher code, and you will receive your board in "My Digital Plans" page.
*your Voucher will be available after 9 days
3 - Test your platform Access
Put your login (the same e-mail adress you received the information)
Put your temporary password (you received in the e-mail)
B) What to do after Accessing the platform?
1 - Watch All Classes First!
We recommend attending all classes at least once before actually starting to build your board. Once you know the steps and steps ahead, you can avoid many questions, as well as many errors, which may come as a result of building something without knowing what is to come.
2 - Print the Plans you are going to need
After attending all classes you will need to go to a Plotter, a special printer that prints architectural projects, civil engineering, all in full size.
You will print or CNC cut:
1) Shape Stand plans
2) Your surfboard plans (now it's time to decide what board are you going to build)
Note 1: the files you receive in PDF are already in real size. You should not change this file. It should be printed that way as it is.
Note 2: if you want to cut the skeleton of your board on a CNC machine, you will also use this same PDF file.
Note 3: we do not provide any other types of modified files for printing. With this single file it should be possible to print everything in real size, as well as cut it on a CNC machine (if it is of interest)
*If necessary you can do the conversion (Online or Corel Draw) on your own to other formats, from the pdf file
*Repeating: I only have this file format, they are the same ones that I use to cut with CNC and/or Printing.
3 - Order the woods you will use
This may take some time depending on the supplier, so this is one of the first things to do. But rest assured, until you get to your woods you will still have a lot to do / prepare!
The specifications of the wood for the board: boards (deck and bottom), Rail strips, Solid internal reinforcements are both within the file name SURFBOARD WOODS, as well as within the video lessons.
4 - Order tools you will need
Tools you will need: have a file named TOOLS LIST with all the tools you will need during the course.
5 - Build the tools you will need into the process
Tools you will build:
1) Rocker Table
For the Rocker Table there are 2 files on the course portal, one with the specifications and the other with the technical drawings. To build, you will use an aluminum profile and pieces of wood. The woods can be whatever you have available.
2) Shape Stand
For the Shape Stand you will use the project plans that is on the course portal. As I said earlier, you will print on a plotter that prints architectural projects. The design is already in real size, 1:1, so just print without changing the scale, if you go to the right place to print, you will have no problems. After printing you will glue the paper to a 20mm plywood board, and cut the board in the lines of the paper.
Just like the skeleton of the board in Class 0 is cut, in the same way.
6 - Order materials you will need
Materials: You will not need all materials at the beginning of the course, so you do not need to purchase everything at once!
It has a file called LIST OF MATERIALS with all the materials you will need during the course, in addition a file with a table with the quantities of specific resin for each type of board, so you don't miss it, nor waste it
Note 1: if you attend all classes at least once before taking the course, you will already know more or less what material and tool is used in each step/class
After you made the Shape Stand, the Rocker Table, and separated the materials, tools, and wood for the first classes, it's time to start the Online Workshop with me!
Classes Step by Step
The classes are extremely detailed, and self-explanatory, Imagine that I'm on your side, follow the step by step. But if any technical questions arise, the support community is there for you to take your questions. Most of the questions have already been answered, so you can use the search function on the telegram and find many of them in the support community, without having to wait for an answer.

Certificate
l) At the end of your board, send us a photo of the finished board, or better, make a post marking @davidwebersurf, which we will be providing your certificate of completion of the course!
