Great video and beautiful work Steven! Great craftsmanship. Tell me what you think of my latest balsa Paipo build…
We are already in trouble came to prevent the entry panels into Gaza by Israel even rob our freedom

Hi is there any way you could send me the plans for your current board?
fill them whit helium ?
Hey brotha, Big fan of your videos, Awesome boards! Just wanted to share this. I fixed up an old board using wood. I know its not 100% wood but still thought you would like this!!
Hey Stephen
How do you maximize "flex" in a wooden rib construction? The wooden surfboards I rode so far felt a bit stiff and dead compared to a modern epoxy board. Keep up your great work!
Beautiful boards. Stephen, I see you make mention of native W.A. trees? Does this mean you are based in Perth? (I am also) I've been getting super interested in giving a wooden board a crack/learning more about the construction process. Do you happen to run workshops or similar?
How did you design the ribs? How did you find the measurements for them?
Stephen,
Beautiful boards. They are all absolutely amazing. Thanks for the great history regarding your experiences building them as well. My question is in regards to your rails. Do you apply the rails before you add the deck and belly? I've made a few long boards now but would love to perfect it. I visited Grain Surfboards in Maine, (I live in Maine, USA) and fell in love with their boards as well. Any tips are greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing.
you should take a heat gun and peel that bad glass job off the board and redo it.
Hey mate, amazing boards. Are you based in Perth? have been reserching wooden baords and very keen to have a crack at it but would like a few pointers and you seem like an expert. Cheers. Nick
Hey Stephen, I'm in Michigan, USA and I'm wondering If I could ask you for the digital file of your shape profile. I want to make a board like yours in my garage, but I have no experience shaping surfboards. Thanks.
Have you tried Lick liquid vegetable based surf wax so not to cover up the beautiful grain in your boards? Check it out http://youtu.be/shBOa7-0eHc Also have you heard about http://www.surfriderecochallenge.com/ cheers
Luke – they surf incredibly well – very consistent through turns and it all comes down to how well it's been shaped. Mates have borrowed it and I have watched them pull off incredible moves that even surprised them. Exceptional flex properties, much stronger than a fibreglass board, great buoyancy (don't need to add foam as it's hollow and air is about as buoyant as you can get).
How do they surf do they have enough buoyancy and is there something like foam you put in the board to make it more buoyant cheers
Awesome inspiring video. I have nearly completed my first wood board, a Pawlonia CWB, 6'2 fish, but I am keen to do a HWB shortboard. You have inspired me, as your boards look awesome and really light. Just out of curiosity two questions :
1- How do you do the ribs on the computer? Is there a program that does this for you based on dimensions or do you design them manually?
2- What is the rough value of your laser cutter and how does it compare with a CNC machine?
Nice video and nice boards, I'm currently making a hollow wood sup she's 10'6 and a bit of a beast so I'm getting concerned about weight, what do you finish yours with, I was going to get mine glassed but have been told it will add a lot more weight to the board, I've seen some people just use resin and others with marine varnish, any advice would be great
awesome stuff!
and one more thing, do you seal these boards air tight? it seems like any trapped moisture might be compromising over time
At time 2:34, what are the different woods that you used in that beautiful board?
i am trying myself on building short boards out of wood and i want to work on the shape on my computer but i can not find a program which one are you using? and what a kind of wood are you using? my first try was a way to havy and i don t want to wast much more wood on my second try!
you should try making some outta bamboo
Hi Stephen. I´m wondering how dick is your deck and your bottom panels. I did a surfboard my self and it´s way too heavy. I think tha if I could do the deck thiner it can help a lot. thanks Luciano
Hey i was wondering if you could do a step by step tutorial, im trying to make my own board but have no idea how
Hi Stephen!
I was wondering, as I'm working on my final year of University in England looking at sustainable design of modern surfboards would it be possible to get a copy of the laser cutter files?
I don't think I could sell them for a price anyone would want to pay unfortunately – it takes me about 2 weeks solid to make one and it costs me a fair bit in the construction process.
Do you sell??
