Making Wooden Surfboards And Paddleboards To Last A Lifetime
Guided Workshops and Commissions
Make Your Own Commission
Take five days to make your own wooden surfboard or paddleboard or one day to make a bellyboard or handplane, with us guiding you through each step of the process.
Share time with us, reconnect to your own two hands and make something memorable, here in Cornwall.
• Professional, guided, 5 day workshop
• No experience needed
• Maximum 3 people per workshop
Since 2008 we’ve been hand crafting personalised wooden surfboards, paddleboards, bellyboards and handplanes.
Made from locally grown timber from regenerative sustainable woodlands, they marry our two deepest passions and allow you to enjoy the oceans and rivers whilst being kind to our planet.
• Sustainable ‘skin and frame’ wooden core.
• A wide range of shapes to choose from.
• Designed and made for a lifetime of waves.

Our workshop experiences make for an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime gift.
Not only will we create lifelong memories in the workshop together, but your lucky human will have also made themselves a new surfboard, paddleboard, bellyboard or handplane to enjoy reconnecting to the water with for years to come.
We have been pioneering sustainable wooden surfboards since 2008, handcrafting custom surfboards in Cornwall and providing expert guidance to anyone wishing to make their own with us, in our workshop by the sea.
We’ll encourage you to reconnect with your own two hands, find flow in the art of making and play in the outdoors with a reinvigorated sense of wonder and awe.
