North Shore Woodie

Any comments on this board? Go Plumeriasurfboards.com to see this board. It’s a Dick Brewer Model. Perhaps someone has first hand knowledge and can share what little is known about this interesting product. It is all wood construction and hollow. The presentation (advertising)sounds like it’s the best thing since sticky wax, but if we had some more info it would be nice. Would anyone care to verify, recommend or acknowledge this very different breed?

I think I remember Robert August having a model or two by North Shore Woodies too. Where’s Mr Jensen?

North Shore woodies pre-dates my attempts at hollows… I saw an ad in the back of LONGBOARDER that showed THEIR version of the wood frame approach… It looks to me like they build the frame and FINISHED rail together… Then they fit the decks into the frame… I put my rails on after the frame and decks are on… And my approach to the decking (Carbon Fiber re-inforced) is different… I thing Brewer might have created their MASTER templates, or not…???.. I don’t know if their even building hollows anymore…??? I’m starting a new hollow,a sub-6’ Lis Fish type board… I’ll build the gluing jig, and cut the frame parts today… Paul http://www.hollowsurfboards.com
