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 walked along the beach at low tide to find some fun waves!
Robby and Alfie recently spent the week with us making wooden surfboards, here they are to tell you all about it...
