i recently had the opportunity to attend a Hollow Wooden Surfboard Building class with Paul Jensen from the U.S.A. it was a great week and a great introduction into the art of building timber boards something i had never found the time to do previously... stay tuned you may see a black apache or two recreated in the timber guise soon. watch this space.

"if you can read this your board is ruined"
a cheeky message i left to make me laugh should the unthinkable ever happen
cinder blocks and clamps... tools that you would not normally associate with surfboard building
