All I have is a tease… But more is coming soon. I hope…
mate that looks AWESOME!!! like to see MANY more pics of that! it looks like a hollow wooden, right?
some shots of the construction phase would be awesome too please!!! maybe start your own thread for that though, looking at your board, you deserve a thread of your own! (this being a fin thread and all!)
can’t wait to see your pics
Northshore Woodies Waialua Sugar Mill
If I can find there business card back home I’ll send the contact info.
(No Need since Kai posted their new website)
The brazilian guy in the process shots is the one who gave my brother and I the whole tour of the facility and let us pick up a board to feel the weight. It was kind of weird coming over from Jim Richardson’s Surflight shop and walk into this place, such a dicotomy but the guy was real friendly and nice… Some of the wall hangers they hand in the airconditioned showroom were absolute works of art…
They make fancy entrance doors for multi million dollar mansions and businesses out here so this is a side job
they run $15,000-$25,000 depending on the detail of the inlay and most of them are wallhangers not meant for riding weight like 50-100 lbs.
The use two preset bending jigs to make either a Brewer Gun or August longboards
the entire operation takes up two large warehouses and they have tons of production equipment to get the job done and tons of exotic wood to choose from.
Absolutely beautiful boards to look at and show off, defintely not something you’d ride.
They’re for rich collectors.
when the deliver and install their doors they always take a board with them and usually sell it off as a piece of wall art…
You can order some of their lower end boards from Plumeria/Brewer’s website
these arent even in the race , i was almost embarrised to post a pic after some
of the other beautiful creations shown above , but none the less , there is something
alluring about timber on surfboards …

How about wooden fins that make you say “what?”
These were constructed with balsa, PU glue and plexiglas. My first attempt for a wooden thruster set.

Kai,
Thanks for posting that.

Some swell little Jim Phillips side biters in red and green.
Robbo, epac, I would like to thank you for posting those gorgeous pictures.
Here I thought I had been making some pretty slick looking sticks… Now I see that I’ve simply been wasting my time, and I can quit and leave it up to the real masters.
What a relief.
