About Build Threads

Build Threads have a long tradition on SWAYLOCKS…

and now they have an official home right here in the new BUILD THREADS category.

So what are BUILD THREADS? Simply put, BUILD THREADS are long form stories and narratives shared by SWAYLOCKS community members about their surfcraft projects.

Members can share their projects in various media forms, from photos and drawings to videos and of course, the written word.

BUILD THREADS encompass a wide spectrum of surfcraft projects, including new creations, restorations, handmade and machine-assisted boards, reflecting our community’s creative diversity.

Creating a new thread

  • Click the current year at the top of the main BUILD THREADS category.
  • Click “New Topic” in the upper right of the page.
  • Create your BUILD THREAD.
  • Edit or reply to your thread at anytime to add more details.

Voting on threads

  • The main idea with VOTING is to reward the best BUILD THREADS at the end of each year.
  • To vote for a BUILD THREAD, simply click the VOTE widget at the top of a thread.
  • To remove your vote, click the vote button again.
  • Each year, every registered user has three votes they may cast on their favorite BUILD THREAD.

Voting for BUILD THREADS is a new feature, so we’ll have to see how it goes. We can modify or adapt it as we go along. Ideas and feedback are always welcome.
