They are light, flexible and incredibly strong. The boards have an EPS foam core and composite sandwich combination of Basalt Innegra fabirc, fibreglass and paulownia timber deck skins. I was blown away at how great these boards are and after some firm persuasion on my part (incessant begging and pleading), Steve kindly agreed to share his build secrets. He's even managed to test them in some serious Samoan surf. Steve is shaping under the 'etc' label (Epoxy Timber Construction) and is creating some super light and incredibly strong surfboards. Recently, at the Byron Bay Surf Festival, I caught up with fellow wooden board builder Steve Hann from Noosa and got the low down on his latest wooden board projects.
