It looks like an Avocado Sartorial, but making this wooden surfboard was a big challenge.
It was the first shape with Bottom Vee Channels and it was also the first time I experimented with the Twinzer fin set up. I tried it a few years ago on a friend’s fish and I was surprised how it was able to generate speed with small waves.
Choosing the right board to try this set up again was not easy. The choice fell on Avocado because it’s a really multipurpose board. Despite being short, it has a good width and a volume of 32 liters which together allow you to surf any type of wave.

Channels are a design tool for creating a path for the fastest passage of water and air, with forced direction. Similar to concave, but more concentrated.
The downside is that in order to work properly the channels need to slide on a surface as homogeneous as possible, therefore on clean waves.
The final result in surfing is that of a very fast and precise board in maneuvers, as long as it is used on glassy waves.

Flat deck, Single concave progressive on the bottom, rail tucked under edge and swallow tail are the main features of this board.
This planing hull is the result of a tailor-made workshop.
We shared with our friend Giacomo the lab and the experience in building wooden surfboards to help him transform a board he designed into a Hollow wooden surfboard.
We spent a week together immersed in tools and resin to build a 100% custom board together.

How was the idea of doing workshop born?
We started to make wooden surfboards because we combined a passion for surfing with that for woodworking. Our laboratory has always been open: to friends, to those who passed with the curiosity to see this “strange” reality on the slopes of the Gran Sasso, or to those who simply passed for a greeting. The curiosity to see how to build a wooden surfboard was immediately contagious!

We started to create wooden surfboards for the desire and the curiosity to experiment our work in the water.
The research of materials, the study of shape and the contaminations of surf culture have propelled us to create a design product that can be contextualised in various fields.
