Brisbane Surfboard Making Classes at Bywater Surf

Four days. One Surfboard. A lifetime of stories.

For more than a decade, we've been helping people build their own hollow wooden surfboards in  our Brisbane Workshop.

Whether you are a surfer, a woodworker , maker or simply someone who loves creating things , we'll guide you through every step of the process.

Over four days you will make a beautiful timber surfboard that is functional and uniquely yours.

No experience necessary.

Our Unique Approach

Our surfboards are crafted using Australian Grown Paulownia and feature western red cedar and cambia ash, without any foam.

This sustainable approach not only produces beautiful boards but also minimizes environmental impact.
