There is nothing like ending the year on a high and that is exactly what we accomplished in our November Surfboard Making Workshop.
Its been a brilliant year for learning , we have so enjoyed sharing our knowledge of woodworking and combining it with our passion for surfing. To date we have helped over 160 students create wonderful hollow wooden surfboards. Many of these students have had no woodworking experience whatsoever and yet in 4 productive days they have come away with something wonderful , tangible evidence of their enthusiasm for learning.
Our November class was held just last week November 14 - 17 inclusive and included 2 return students who wanted to expand on their wooden surfboard quiver.
All smiles from Phil, back to make his second wooden surfboard with us
A more exciting use for pegs.
Team work and framwork
Discussion and productivity , getting on with things but still time to chat of course about surfing
Smiley Phil once again showing how happy he is to to be here ! We just love that !
That wonderful feeling of accomplishing a successful glue up
An Eye for detail
The peaceful act of Planeing, an integral part of the finished board
The class of November 19 2019 A beautiful array of boards
Our students showed wonderful team work and enthusiasm over the 4 days and laughs and friendships were made.
We often say it but for us its a privilage to be able teach so many students . The smiles , the look and feeling of accomplishment that each and every student has after their surfboard making workshop makes is so worthwhile for us.
We are already prepping these boards for glassing so our keen students can take their works of art in the water, because not only do our boards look the part , they ride like a dream.
We are keen to continue our learning calendar in 2020 with our New Stand Up Paddle Board classes and of course our ever popular Wooden Surfboard Classes as well .
Our mission to learn and inspire is a big part of what we do here at Bywater Design
