9’ hollow noserider
2017, personal work






Over the course of many weekends in 2017, I designed and built a hollow wooden surfboard for my own personal use. Being intrigued by the art of longboarding, and noseriding in particular, a classic 9 foot noserider with little rocker and rounded rails at the tail became the objective. The frame, deck and bottom are constructed from 4 mm mahogany triplex, whereas the rails, accentuated by narrow steambent ash slats, are shaped from solid red cedar.
