Wood is Good (Pt. 4): Tom Wegener at Patagonia Surf Shop Car

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.

Balls!

I just persuaded the missus that we should take a drive down to Cardiff next week to check out some of these boards... I was thinking of the Cardiff in Wales. California is a bit far out to take a quick trip. It's a shame cause I think I've only ever seen a few wooden boards in the UK, none of them riden though.
