In this video I show step by step how to make a longboard. This is the complete process, from which raw materials to use to, to how to press, share, and finish your board. I spend a lot of time focusing on the press to shape the longboard to give it its kick tails and concave. The video was edited in Sony Vegas Movie Studio 11 and shot with both a Canon t3i and a GoPro hero 3+.
