Gawood surfboard shaping course

Shaping course 

hollow in paulownia

The courses take place over 5 days from Monday to Friday.

I welcome you to my workshop in small groups of 2 or 3 and will help you create your custom board.

In 5 days, we make the board: we glue the frame, cut and glue the rails, then we shape them. Then we glue the boxes and finish with a fine sanding ready to receive the hard oil or varnish.

You can take it straight away if you want and apply the oil or varnish yourself.

And after the four layers have dried... "Into the water!"

First we will discuss together the board to be made. If you have a very specific idea, no problem, you send me an image and dimensions.

You can also let yourself go and by discussing, I will define a board for you.

In any case, we will have to define your shape a month before the start of the course, so that I can draw the plans as well as prepare the plates and the frame.
