Come to learn new woodworking skills, because you already love working with wood, or because those typing fingers are yearning to handle a real tool. Come for the experience of working beside Grain's board builders at our shop in Maine just a block from the beach. Come to make memories with new friends, or bring your own friends and family. Finally, come to BUILD YOUR OWN SURFBOARD! In this workshop, you’ll work alongside our expert builders to create your dream board from start to finish. You’ll take your time with each stage:

• Setting up your rocker table, selecting and gluing up your own planks and gluing down the frame.
• Building your rails using our bead and cove process which requires good attention to detail and a fun mix of traditional tools and joinery techniques. If you love chisels, pull saws and rabbet planes, you’ll sink right into this process. 
• Glueing up and attach your top planks. 
• Shaping the rails using drawknives, blockplanes and spokeshaves. 
• Sanding and personalizing your board until it’s ready for fiberglass.

• A one-on-one experience: Customized around your needs, your schedule and your desire to build your dream board the old-fashioned way.
• For the true craftsman: An extended, in-depth process perfect for those who value detail and tradition.
• The ultimate keepsake: Walk away with a handcrafted surfboard that’s as beautiful as it is functional.

• All the materials needed to build your board (choose from a 20+ models and customize your plank design).
• Full use of our workshop and tools.
• Expert personalized guidance every step of the way.
• Access to our quiver of demo boards and wetsuits.

Note: Glassing is not included but can be added for an additional charge. Shipping and glassing materials for home are also available.
