The making of a Wooden Bellyboard

The making of a Wooden Bellyboard

Our latest film in collaboration with Gokotta Film shares the unique making process that goes into every single wooden bellyboard to create that organic feel and an incomparably likeable aesthetic. The process is a journey from a single sheet of plywood to an alternative surf craft.

South Cornwall looking very tropical. Flashback to a January session - We surfed for hours and took the bellyboards out as the tide got too high.

India

In December we headed South for 3 weeks of exploring India - between Kochi and Varkala in the state of Kerala. We took a quiver of surfboards and bellyboards and scored some really fun waves - the bellyboards were perfect for warm water shore breaks!
