Belly boards are where wave riding started. Long before foam and mass production, surfers carved boards from timber, using simple tools, skill, and a deep respect for the ocean. Those early boards weren’t disposable, they were built to last, repaired when needed, and ridden for years.

Our timber belly boards honour that history.

Made from sustainably sourced timber, they offer a stronger, longer lasting alternative to modern foam boards. Timber boards don’t delaminate, crumble, or end up in landfill after a short lifespan. They age with character, can be refinished, and often last decades rather than seasons.

But timber isn’t just about sustainability, it performs. The added weight and natural flex of timber give belly boards excellent trim, speed, and glide. They hold their line cleanly in the wave and feel solid and connected under your body, delivering a smooth, timeless ride that foam simply can’t replicate.

Handmade Surfcraft, Made in Australia

Every board we make is handcrafted in Australia from start to finish. No factories. No overseas production. Just hands, tools, timber, and time. Each board is shaped, finished, and detailed with care, meaning no two are ever exactly the same.

We also build custom timber surfboards, working closely with riders to create something truly personal, a board that reflects how you surf, where you surf, and what you value.

By choosing one of our boards, you’re not just buying surf craft , you’re supporting Australian craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and a small family run business. What you ride helps support our family of five and allows us to keep traditional board building alive for the next generation.

This is surfcraft with purpose.

Built slow. Built right. Built to last.
