Nick originally joined us back in February for 5 days to make his own wooden surfboard, he chose our 9’1 Wicket as he is a beginner surfer hoping to progress in his longboarding. You can hear all about his experience from the workshop in the video below.
It’s always such a great feeling to close the workshop cycle. The wooden surfboard has been glassed and our workshoppers get to walk through our big blue doors again, usually a couple of months after leaving their freshly sanded handiwork on the trestles after a week of making with us. Seeing the board finished for the first time and knowing that a coat of wax and a trip down the hill to the beach is all that needs to happen before that special splash in the sea, is a lovely moment to witness!

All of our surfboards are made using wood from local, sustainable, regenerative woodlands for a lifetime of waves.
We completed workshop number 112 in 2024, here's a huge thank you to everyone who joined us to come and make their own wooden surfboard!
