Hollow Surfboards

Hollow wood surfboards are probably the most difficult to build out of all the wooden surfboards, they have an internal wood skeleton frame covered by wood planks.

 

 

These boards are more built than shaped, and they require a good amount of precision, measuring, gluing, clamping and waiting.

 

The rocker, thickness, outline and rails are defined by the internal structure. As the deck and bottom planks are glued together, the board takes shape. It’s a bit like putting together a surfboard-sized puzzle very slowly.

 

The end result can be something that both looks and surfs very uniquely.
