Come and make a timber SUP with us

 

A wooden Stand Up Paddle Board (or SUP) is a beautiful thing ~functional, strong, and undeniably striking.

Built using tradtitional methods we use for our hollow wooden surfboards, timber paddle boards offer a blend of performance and craftsmanship: natural flex and strength, a smooth, stable ride, long lasting durability, and a one of a kind aesthetic you simply can’t replicate with foam.

Every board is shaped by hand, which means your SUP will reflect your body, your paddling style, and the conditions you plan to use it in and whether that’s flatwater cruising on a calm river, coastal exploring along rocky shorelines, or catching gentle downwind days on open water your timer SUP will effortlessly guide and glide you through your chosen waterways




Our surfboard classes are deliberately small and hands-on, giving you flexibility in board design and plenty of individual guidance.

If your goal is to build a timber SUP, we’ll work with you before the class to finalise key decisions such as length, width and thickness; volume and stability requirements; timber selection; fin setup; and the intended use of the board.

From there, you’ll be guided through the full process in our Brisbane workshop. We guide and teach you the whole way, in a stress free and fun learning environment.

Is a SUP Right for You?

A timber SUP is ideal if you’re looking for a slower, more mindful build process, a board that doubles as functional art, a deeper understanding of board design and construction, and a truly personal, heirloom-quality watercraft. It’s a rewarding project for anyone who values hands on learning and wants a connection to the craft and the sea.

No prior woodworking experience is required — just patience, curiosity, and a love of the water.

A Board With a Story

What makes a timber SUP truly special isn’t just how it performs ,it’s the knowledge that you made it.

Every curve, rail, and finish tells the story of time spent in.

Create your own stoke this year.
