Making & delivery

Here’s how a Wagtails board takes shape.

Start with the timber.

We cut the veneer and choose the layers, with grain running lengthways and across the board. We’ve tried all sorts of combinations. Experimenting is part of the fun.

Into the mould.

The layers are glued, stacked and pressed into a mould for 24 hours. That’s where the board gets its curve.

Find the little surfboard inside.

Once it’s out of the mould, we cut the outline and sand it by hand, working around the nose, tail and rails.

Oil. Wait. Repeat.

We apply oil on four consecutive days to finish the timber. This bit takes patience.

From the first layers to the finished board, each Wagtails takes five days to make. All by hand.

Five days is our making process. For made-to-order purchases, please allow 10–14 calendar days before dispatch, including time in the order queue. Delivery time is additional.
