Surfboards are assembled by hand from sustainable supplies of Paulownia, then shaped by hand, wood burned with beautiful designs, and finally polished to a lustrous sheen with natural oils.

As a wood for surfboard shaping, Paulownia is as light as Balsa, but as hard as oak. It requires a patient, steady hand in carving a good shape to ride like a dream.

The boards are made to last a lifetime from all natural sustainable materials. Their art is a celebration of union between Sun and Earth, and are worthy of heavy waves.

Each board is made on a custom order basis. Because of their detail, only a few are made annually. No fiberglass or PU resin is used in the making of each board.
