You've seen them in museums and at auctions being sold
for obscene prices. And you've probably wondered what it
would be like to ride one.  So did we!  So we dug out a set of
original plans from 1932 and put it into the computer.  The result
is a kit that will allow you to build a replica Tom Blake style
hollow wood board exactly like he built himself!  We use the
same size lumber as the original so you are building an
accurate replica.  
Pieces for the new "Tom Blake" retro surfboard are precision cut on the CNC machine.  Every set is built  
according to Tom's original plans and precision cut from 3/4" pine - just like the ones Tom built on the beach in
Waikiki over 75 years ago.  The parts are correct right down to the drain holes and spar notches.  You will need
a couple sheets of plywood, several long 2 x 4s, nails, screws, and glue to complete this board.
If you want to build a "Tom Blake" style surfboard that is true to
his original 1932 design here is the kit for you!
The "Tom Blake" kit consisting of all the ribs, nose piece, and tail piece is
$149.00 including shipping in the continental US. Due to the size of the pieces
the Tom Blake cannot be shipped outside mainland US. Call (714) 834-9968 to
order or write to brad@woodsurfboardsupply.com for information.

TEST REPORT
We tested our prototype Tom Blake in the SUP and Kayak section of
San Onofre Beach.  It floated well, didn't take on gallons of water and
created quite a stir among the other surfers.  The down side, its
heavy and, without a fin, very difficult to turn.  If someone paddles in
front of you they are probably going to get run over.  It will never take
the place of an SUP or modern surfboard but its a blast when you
have long, rolling Waikiki-type waves - and it really looks great
hanging on the wall or as a bar or table top.
