![]() These templates are available for purchase in our online shop. Once the template is ready for production, it must be converted to g-code format for our laser CNC cutter. These boards are pressed with great amounts of pressure and without the top and bottom supports, the planned rocker will get pressed out so this is an essential part of our build method. With our build method, we create the bottom and top support templates that will maintain the desired rocker profile. We then take these files and import them into our image manipulation program to piece these all together and convert the template to fit our method of building hollow wooden surfboards. Now that we have our desired surfboard in BoardCAD, it’s time to save the PDF templates using the Hollow Wooden Surfboard print option that is available in the software. Once the ribs are added, it’s difficult to modify the board so this is the last step before saving the final. If we like what we see, it’s time to start adding the cross sections or ribs. Once we have our board “shaped” with the BoardCad program, it’s time to check it in the virtual shaping room which is a 3D rendered model of our surfboard. If you are doing this yourself, pay close attention to the volume calculator and adjust the shape accordingly. This is where we shape the rails, decide how flat we want the deck, and where we want our concaves or v-shaped bottom. Then use the default cross section profiles to modify the top and bottom contours. Next, we modify the curves along the outline and set the rocker for both the nose and tail. We select the base template for our surfboard and set the desired dimensions such as length, width, and thickness.

We can also provide a custom template for you but the turn around time for this depends on the size of the surfboard and our current workload around the shop. ![]() We eliminate this difficult step of the process and provide you with the templates for purchase in our online store. Coming up with the template for your Hollow Wooden Surfboard is the most difficult part of building your surfboard.
