Hi everyone! I hope all is well with everyone!

Down to business…I’m looking for wooden surfboard plans and templates. Does anyone here have any experience building surfboards? Does anyone have access to free pdf plans and templates? Thanks everybody!

Cheers,
KC

You might check out www.olosurfer.com. They show a lot of pictures that might give you some ideas and there plans are only $40 per board. Don’t know if this will help but it is worth a look.

After you punch in www.olosurfer.com, pick wood surfeboard plans for instant down load. Get a real board. They have eight plans for $39.99.

Check out this site. Me and Lumberzack made this site to walk you through the process. http://sites.google.com/site/surfingwood/

While not all the pages have stuff on them you can check out enough to get you going

I am sorry for the late reply but if you wanna build a Hollow Wood Surfboard (HWS) there is not better place to look than www.treetosea.org. Just visit the projects section and you have all the information you’ll ever need for building and there is also a section dedicated to surfboard plans. Google AKU Shaper and download the program, it allows you to view 3 dimensional schematics of .brd files that would be of surfboards and furthermore most plans you’d find on treetosea will be .brd files, I don’t know what to do with .otl files. Lastly you can just beg a member of treetosea to share their plans with you, though many will be reluctant to do so. Also kayak building has similar attributes and so you might wanna check out some kayak building sites.

TheQuast…I’m now using Google Chrome. Works famously. I haven’t had a chance to download the software and play with it as I’ve been knicker deep in work. Definitely not complaining though…

thomasberg…I’ve been to tree to sea a few times. Great site, but a little complicated for my t-rex brain. :o)

Thanks guys..Hopefully I can start soon and post some video!

TheQuast…It took a bout of insomnia to finally download the two programs. They work awesome. Using a 6’3” hollow core plan on treetosea.org I’m finally going to get down to business! Thanks a ton, and I’ll start posting pics soon!
