Book Description
Surfing was invented by the ancient Polynesians over one thousand years ago. Originally, craftsmen in South Pacific island chains including Hawaii, Tahiti, and the Marquesas hand carved heavy surfboards out of native woods like koa and wiliwili. Today, surfboards are built by dedicated teams of craftsmen using lightweight materials and modern science. But how are surfboards really made?
