Hi,

 

Today being Sunday (8 March 2020) I watched the interesting weekly Australian TV program Landline - usually with stories about agriculture and innovation

There is a story about using plantation timber for surfboard manufacture.

I think you will like it.

This segment starts at 36m00s .

I missed this unfortunately. Did anyone catch a contact number or email address so I can get my hands on some of this timber? 

Or if anyone can recommend suppliers in Australia?

Cheers

I didn’t see the segment, but I’m guessing it was about Tom Weg? The guys at Port Phillip Paulownia are easy to deal with - I’m on the West Coast and they shipped out a blank without hassle.

Also, Surfing Green rings a bell as another supplier, but I haven’t ordered from them.
