Timber

Our preferred timbers are Paulownia and Western Red Cedar. With Paulownia being the main timber used because of its superior light weight and strength. Because of its ability not to absorb water and resistance to rotting it has become the timber of choice.

The Paulownia used to make our surfboards is all plantation grown in Australia; it is handpicked for its natural grain and beauty with only the best quality used.

The Western Red Cedar we use is mainly recycled and matches well with the Paulownia
