Summertime Surfboards

The maiden voyage of a hand crafted wooden surfboard is always a memorable experience for its owner. Our epic students from our 4 day board courses or those building from kits at home, have one thing at the fore front of their mind whilst laboring over their board and that’s the anticipation of riding it in their favourite beach break.  

We are now well and truly in summer, the season of surfing and we’re lucky to call South East Queensland home. From Sunny Coast to Gold Coast and beyond, there is a fine selections of breaks to choose from. May the weather God’s bless us this season with some great swells!  

When the boards aren’t being taken for a ride, they sit pretty at home bringing a cool coastal essence no matter the distance from the beach. From pool room to outdoor deck, a wooden surfboard offers a unique charm to any house. 

Last year, a student of ours had his board shipped over to Hawaii as a Christmas present for his son, now that’s an impressive gift to unwrap. There’s over 200 students who have crafted their own Bywater Surf masterpiece and we hope you see you out in the line up this summer.
