Paulownia Surfboards


Some pics of wooden surfboard builds using our clean Australian paulownia.

 James Kale has done a great job with this chambered paulownia fish.

Nice clean lines and neat joinery.

Burleigh veteran Glenn Clark with his foamcore balsa and cedar tracker. Super-nice glass job by Maddo at MSD surfboards Gold Coast and thanks to Grant Newby for the board design.

 Another Clark, Tim has shaped his first Alaia with one of our premium Australian paulownia blanks

And a bit of nice pyrography to finish.


This board was built by Bruce Porter and his mate from scratch. No computer generated file and minimal tool kit.

Mark Gibbs and his son from Brizzy used one of our build packages to build this nice little shortboard. I remember they first came in a bit doubtful as to whether they had the skills to take on this challenge. I reckon they've really nailed it. That is NOT an ornament! That is a high quality, lightweight wooden surfboard and the best thing about it is....it's going to work!



 Dee Why surfer Mark Charters has gone for some complex detail with his build.



There's probably 100 or more pieces of timber that make up his board. Well worth the effort I reckon.

For everything you need to build your own wooden board
