We build wooden surfboards.

boyandsea is a community of wooden surfboard builders here in Christchurch, New Zealand. We run classes where anyone can come and build their own hollow wooden surfboard.

We meet in our Riccarton workshop every Tuesday after work. Normally there are four of us building at a time and a couple more hanging out.

Interested to know more? Take a read of our classes page, flick us a message, or even better come along, hang out and see if the journey is for you.
