Make Your Own Wooden Bellyboard and Handplane Workshop Course

Join us for a day in the workshop to make your own bellyboard or bodysurfing handplane from locally grown timber. We’ll create a blank to your specification and you’ll then be able to cut the outline, shape the rails and oil your board up ready for a lifetime of waves, with us guiding you through each step of the process.

Cool body boards guys In Hawaii we call them Pai`po that translates to Head first. Keep up the great work! Aloha!

[@ottersurfboards]

Thanks man! Yeah, these bellyboards are a fairly traditional surf craft in the UK....definitely a style of Pai'po...we're looking to extend our range of Pai'po boards in the future though :) Aloha!!

What technique do you use to bend up the front tip?

[@ottersurfboards]

Hey! We make up three 'skins' of wood and laminate them together over a mould....it means the curve will remain throughout the life of the bellyboard :)
