How finger surfing works

Swoop, dive and carve the skies

If you’ve ever put your hand out the window of a car, you’ll have felt the urge to carve through the wind with your hand. Now you can carve, glide, turn and ride the airwaves on one of our handmade wooden fingerboards.

Loop the included cord leash around a finger to keep the board attached to your hand.

Meet Jax. Founder, maker, boss.

It started with a seed pod.

Jax found a woody seed pod and started using it as a finger surfboard. Then he asked Dad if he could buy a proper one.

We both love making things, so we roped in Jax’s brother Flynn and our mate Jason, who knows his way around timber and loves a fun idea. Together, we started making our own.

The name came later, courtesy of a willie wagtail on a bike ride to Snapper.

Little board. Five days in the making.

We cut and layer timber veneer, alternating the grain direction, then press it in a mould for 24 hours. Then comes cutting, sanding and oiling by hand, with oil applied on four consecutive days.
