The Best Gift By Far!

“I bought a ‘build a wooden surfboard’ experience for my partner as a 30th birthday gift, and I am so grateful to James and the team for making it such a memorable and special experience for him. Otter Surfboards made booking the experience very easy, answering my many questions in a prompt and friendly manner.

They made my partner feel so welcome, and took the time to show him and the other guests around the area, as well as inviting me into the workshop to see how everyone was progressing with their boards over the week (and have some time with Buddy, the resident workshop doggo!).

It is by far the best gift I have ever been able to give my partner, and I cannot recommend Otter Surfboards enough!”

Here’s what he had to say about the whole experience:

“It was an incredible week where you come away with something that surfs beautifully, is made sustainably, looks fantastic on display when it isn’t getting wet and will last a lifetime.

There were so many memorable moments but I especially loved when my parents and my girlfriend were welcomed into the workshop one day to see how we were progressing. It was my Dads idea of heaven!

I’m loving the Fetch! When I’m not surfing it sits pride of place in my living room and when I am surfing it glides beautifully linking up sections with ease. I have surfed it a couple of times at The Wave and it gets a lot of attention for all the right reasons but I am always nervous about the wall!! I know it will take more of a whack than my PU & epoxy boards but it will hurt me so much more.”
