Here’s the flyer for the hollow wooden surfboard building workshop this summer. http://www.taiyosurfboards.com/class.html
WHEN:
4 weekends: June17-19, June24-26, July1-3, July7-10
Below is a tentative schedule. It is somewhat flexible, and the days/times can be altered depending on the individual schedules of the students enrolled and/or the surf conditions. If you have to miss a weekend, don’t you worry. We make sure that you go home with a wooden surfboard, at least ready to be glassed. The 4th week is focused on glassing the boards, but if you prefer or if you can only make it for three of the weekends, you have the option to have us glass your board for you for an additional charge ($150~$280 depending on the size of your board).
