All of it..

I've seen many boards shaped over the years but they were all done by hand 100%

Yeah, yeah.. Maybe not so new to some.. Still a cool vid IMO..

Great vid Dj.

Not sure that fella has a long life ahead though.
Don't know why he bothered putting on the mask after sucking in all the dust before sanding.

I can't wait until they start 3d printing cores. Much better control over strength, flex, shape, weight etc.

That will be a huge leap for boards

Absolutely nothing new here.

In France, for many years now, you can even go to a http://www.atuacores.com/surfshop/151-pains-3d-sur-mesure-preshapes upload your 3D shape you made yourself on of a shaping 3D software (some are free), and get the machine-shaped blank sent to you... or the glassing shop of your choice.

And of course many brands use "computer shaping" which allow for incremental changes: Gong shapes often evolve by tiny bits every quarter...

In my opinion, an next step could be to be able to make multiple density blanks: light at the core, denser at the skin

a LOT OF STUFF got cut out between glassing the deck laminate and final polishing ha ha , I was very surprised he cut the fin system recess by hand given that shaping machine could do it WAY more accurately .

the "profiler" generally only rough cuts the blank, there is still fine tuning by hand. If the "profiler" was to machine the fin systems and then the depth is changed when final hand shaping is done, then the recess would need to be reworked anyway. A good router and good jig (which are propbably supplied by FCS and Futures) are going to be every bit as accurtate as needed.
