Our Promise

Environment Promise: We use Forest Stewardship Council certified woods or woods salvaged from downed trees. All our boards are glassed with epoxy resin that is cleaner for our environment and emit 50-75% less Volatile Organic Compounds than polyester resin. In our shop, we have moderate ventilation and no need for a mask when glassing. It is also lighter and stronger than polyester. Our wood boards are nearly indestructible and should last a lifetime. Each board is crafted with concern for our environment.

Our promise: Ride our woodies for 30 days. If you don't like it, return it. If you clean the wax off, no charge, if not we'll deduct $35. Broken glass dings (which are nearly impossible to do) or damages void this Promise.

Tom's working on a 5'8" short board

All the ribs are perfectly at 90 degrees to spar. Tom's putting a good front rocker to it and overall profile is short board, high performance. More pics as he progresses.



Often we are asked, "How strong are wood boards." They go far beyond foam. The only strength in foam boards is a wood stringer and even then it is under huge vertical loading and can fail, yes mostly in short boards but long boards are not immune to load failure. Here Tom is using tiles to load spar and ribs for mating to bottom deck. This kind of construction technique allows for better load distribution over a much larger area than foam.

8'6" Mini Mal

Received an interesting email from local surfer who's looking for something shorter/something longer. We've not made a smaller long board, Toms done few 6'6" wood and couple of foams but we have not been asked for an 8'6".  Well time to draw up something with concave nose, slight V tail. Here is first draft of ribs 6 and 7. Probably do some band sawing tomorrow.
