This wooden board was originally my second, and it started its life as a hollow wooden version. I still get a little emotional telling it so bare with me. Stuff up a kid's name and poor old Jack Goff will never hear the end of it from his mates in the school playground but go with a lame board name and probably no one will even raise an eyebrow.Īnyway, there's a prequel to this epic. I mean what were their parents thinking? Kids names are a little more critical than surfboard names though. Arthur Brain, Dwayne Pipe, Gaye Males, Jack Goff. I mean there have been some shockers in the kid naming space. A bit like deciding on a name for your kid but not really. Namaste Arborial Aquaphiles, and welcome to this installment of building a Nine-One Mal called.well I don't actually have a name for it yet but I'm open to suggestions. But I digress and am getting into therapeutic issues. How could I not smell like a dead wombat’s arse if all I ate was discarded KFC zinger scraps. Probably living out of a skip bin, eating discarded KFC zinger scraps, and habitually annoying decent folks for bus money and half smoked durries, wearing stained ghosties and smelling like a dead wombat’s arse. The truth is, that if I wasn’t married to her, who knows where I’d be. No Usain Bolt, more a suave, fat, hairy, middle aged chimp. Whatever! She’s too good for me anyway, very patient with my bad memory, degraded eyesight, my fat guts and thick rails. It makes me feel intellectually superior. I’m always “not listening”, “losing my wallet and my keys to the car”, not wanting to “want to do the dishes”.the list goes on and on.and I love using “quotes” when I write. I’m also an appallingly bad husband as well, just ask Mrs Wood Buddha. Looking forward to catching up with old faces and welcoming new ones.įor any more info contact: not really even a Buddhist but I thought the name Wood Buddha would elevate my reputation within the international wooden surfboard building community as a fringe guru wooden surfboard builder, and alternative surf craft aficionado to the dizzy heights of stardom. And there is nothing better that being on one you built yourself. The Alley in winter is often at it's best for a slide across the banks on a wooden board. There are many ways to build a wooden board and they will be on display on the day. If you don't build boards but want to find out more you could not be in a better place to ask all the questions you want.

A great time to meet others with the same passion and to see what they have been up to.

Please feel free to send pics and details of any boards you are building to share with others to wet their appetite.Īs you now know it is a gathering of like minded people who enjoy being challenged by spending countless hours in the shed building wooden boards. So if you are working on a project at the moment or thinking of starting one, now you have a reason to get started or stuck in to finishing it for August. Each year peoples experience grows and the level of skills and finish of boards is a testament to the long hours and effort being put in. We look forward to meeting other budding wooden board builders and the projects that they have been working on through the year. Now we’re looking at ways to let you customise your experience and add some features that have never been done before.Sunday the 2nd of August is set down as the date for this year's Wooden Surfboard Day to be held in the park at Currumbin as in the past years.
