Wood Is Still Good

Happy Holidays from everybody at Fletcher Chouinard Designs!

Here is part 2 of the Wood is Good videos. Tom goes off in this one and is seen riding his 20 footer. If you're interested in surfboard design and alternative construction materials, you'll really enjoy this series so stay tuned for more.

On Saturday, October 11, 2009, after the Sacred Craft Surfboard Expo, surfboard shaper Tom Wegener gave an evening presentation at Patagonia's Cardiff Surf Shop. Tom spoke about shaping surfboards from Paulownia wood, specifically classic single fin longboards, hollow surfboards and the traditional Hawaiian alaia design which Tom and his friends help reintroduce to the surfing world. Special thanks to Devon Howard for organizing this unique event and to Free at TCl for sharing the goods. Part 2 of 4
