Making the most of the of the sunny winter days ( a rarity at the moment ) we welcomed our 5 surfboard students who came from all parts of Queensland to enjoy 4 days of learning and fun with us.
Our students chose their pattern and board sizes prior to class , ensuring they would be making the board that not only appealed aesthically but a board they could comfortably ride in many conditions.
The first days were spent glueing up ribs and rails and making sure there were no pegs lost in the process :)
The all important glueing of the skins followed by a night of rest for our hardworking students who were on the go the whole day prepping for this important time
Shaping the frames - an integral part of the board making process, precision counts
After four days of woodworking love our eager hardworking students emerged with their very own beautiful timber surfbards, lovingly made with their own hands . Many of our students have no woodworking experience but after the 4 days the acomplishment and happiness levels were high.
A job well done !!
Congratulations to our students who have made their own Hollow Timber Surfboard
