The latest news and stories from our workshop, and beyond.
New Year, New Model Sometimes we set out to design and make a new wooden surfboard model, and sometimes one develops seemingly organically. The Barque is a new addition to the Otter Surfboards range and is one such shape; the quickest way to describe it would be to call it a smaller version of our ever-popular Island Hopper model, but that would be doing it a disservice. Developed over several workshop courses as the result of a number of...

Pilot cutters are the vessels that worked the coastline between the Isles of Scilly and Bristol during the latter part of the 19th Century. Their primary role was to deliver local harbour pilots to large ships which they would then manoeuvre safely into port, but they were also used to transport valuable cargoes to shore or when speed was of the essence.
