South coast wood souls abound

Wood surfboards are rare, but Mollymook/Narrawallee must have more wood board makers per capita than anywhere else in the world. This is a great chance to see the fine work of some of my neighbours. This 9' longboard is by Dave Harrison. A few pics of its build with the last few showing his huon pine nose and tail blocks. The board is being glassed now and once the dust storm passes a launch is in order. But be warned these boards are time consuming and can become your mistress! Dave's lovely wife Kim has named the board Sally!!
