The latest news and stories from our workshop, and beyond.
Here in Cornwall we are dreaming of long days and warm waves, so we thought we would revisit these beautiful shots from our friends Matt and Sophie's surf trip to the Maldives back in 2015...
This week we caught up with Ornella when she came to collect her 6'10 Jetty!
Kevin stopped by last week to pick up the wooden surfboard he made with us last year...
Simple pleasures. They're wonderful things aren't they? Take bodysurfing for example; the simple act of swimming around in the waves and getting...
As autumn beds in here in the UK, the attention of many surfers, both here and across Europe, turns to southwest France. Whilst Californians have...
At a low enough latitude, which for surfers here in the UK means the north of Scotland and the Outer Hebrides, on the summer equinox when the sun barely sets it can be just possible to surf right through the night. Surf photographer and film maker Lewis Arnold took a crew far north this time last year to try and do that, but he wanted to do more than just surf through the small hours; he wanted to explore how surfers can still surf and travel...
Booking on to one of our workshop weeks is like booking a holiday. In fact, it is booking a holiday, but one that is pre-populated with daily...
I’ve spent a fair chunk of my adult life now at sea on wooden vessels – be they surfboards or sail boats. Holding the line of a 5'5, 8kg...
Back in August three of our friends, David Smith and Jack Middleton from Surfers Against Sewage and Jack’s girlfriend Brogen Latham, travelled...

We like to keep in touch with everybody who has ever joined us to make their own surfboard, and it’s incredible when we receive an e-mail with a handful of images attached containing stories of a successful surf trip. Matt made a 6’4” Woodburner with us last June and surfed it close to home in Cornwall through the autumn and winter before taking it away for a wide-ranging trip across the Indonesian archipelago. When we recently sent out...
Two weeks ago, whilst the surfing population of southwest England stared in frustration at the small, wind-blown, waves lapping on their shores,...
In the middle of March, James and our good friend Tony took a few weeks off the making of Tony’s wooden surfboard with us to head over the Irish...
Over Christmas and the New Year James and Liz finally headed off on their slightly belated honeymoon, trading the wind and rain of the northern...
In the first week of November last year, just as the temperatures really dropped and winter announced its arrival, we took a few days off to head...
Last September, just as the last of the summer warmth was preparing to give way to autumn, James managed to sneak in one final surf in boardshorts at our local beach for the year. The boardshorts that he wore are produced by our good friends at Riz; a British brand dedicated to creating classically styled surf shorts with minimal impact upon our environment. To that end, they currently have a crowdfunding campaign entering it's final...
The sun didn’t set for 72 hours: Last weekend James went away with five of his oldest friends (to celebrate one of the group’s impending...
As the sun starts to rise earlier and earlier each morning and the evenings slowly draw out, we’re presented with more opportunities to go...
