I have always loved surfing older 70’s style boards, such as old single fins, retro twinnys as well as the more modern variations like retro styled fish, quads, etc. basically anything that is slightly different to your standard high performance short boards (mainly due to the fact that my surfing style is anything but high performance!).  I love the flow and the feel of surfing these older style boards, and I try to incorporate that into all of the hollow timber boards I make.

Most of my boards are based on the style and shapes from the era, with a few modern variations included.

On ground timber boards are slightly heavier than your standard foam surfboards, however, being hollow they have an inherent buoyancy to them that negates this feeling of weight in the water.  Timber boards generally feel a lot faster in the water, great for making it through fatter sections and are responsive in and out of turns. They  have a nice natural flow to them that just makes you want to bust out some ‘soul arcs’! They are also good in choppy conditions as they  have the weight and rigidity to slice through the chop.

All boards are made from a recycled and plantation grown timber. Due to the natural variations in timber grains, every board has it’s own unique pattern and style.  All boards are covered with a layer of 4oz cloth and a high gloss finish  to ensure they are water tight and the high gloss finish really brings out the timber.
