Book ahead for your winter board making

Beat the winter blues this year by joining us in the workshop to make your own wooden surfboard.

Our June & August courses have available spots for the surfing enthusiast and the woodworking curious. Even though Queensland’s winters can be tame, many of us often hang up our surfboards and wait for warmer weather to return. But you can keep the stoke alive during the chilly months with Bywater Surf. 

Take a mid-year break for yourself, switch off and get back to basics - our 4 day course will challenge and inspire you. Working with your hands and creating something from scratch is a great way to de-stress and reinvigorate creativity. Work alongside like-minded individuals, share your favourite surfing stories and learn from a master craftman to develop your skills. 

Not only will you learn woodworking skills that will last a lifetime, but you'll also create a one-of-a-kind board that you can ride for years to come. 

In this course from a Thursday to Sunday, you’ll get first hand experience in the full process of how the Bywater Surf board is created; using no foam whatsoever, the hollow wooden board is truly a work of art and an impressive piece of ingenuity. Your finished board will be a cherished possession, with great memories attached and an alluring future ahead full of sun, sand and salt. 

Now let's get to work on crafting the ultimate wooden wave-rider!
