First Fish







I am a woodworker and a surfer. For a long time I've been interested in learning about shaping boards, but with a family and a job I'd never made the time. Then a couple of years ago, my wife Nicole got me the Surfer's Path that featured wooden boards and board builders. That got me going, and I became inspired to start making hollow wooden surfboards.

This is my first board. It's a 5'9" twin keel fish. It is all Paulownia Wood. It surfs pretty well and I'm definitely happy with it for the first effort. This was made while living in New Zealand in early '09.
