Item Description
The board is a handcrafted GWS Wooden Surfboard
The board is my take on a Mactavish Tracker style board from the late 60s. And heralded the move to shorter boards. It's a board that loves a long wall and will give you a feeling of flow unmatched by foam. The art is inspired by Izzy and Surfers Healing. It depicts Izzy riding with a child and having the time of their lives. Watching Izzy doing this all I can see is this amazing positive energy radiating from the ocean through to Izzy and the young child. What they do is so amazing and inspiring.
Gareth Smith has been crafting and designing wooden surfboards for the last 10 years. An avid surfer and artist his boards are made with the surfer in mind. He takes great pride in researching, designing and replicating the boards of yesteryear. All of his boards are carefully crafted, sealed both inside and out, and built to surf and to last. Art is something that has always had pride of place on Gareth's boards and now uses his handcrafted wooden boards to display and compliment his functional artwork.
"As someone who has crafted a surfboard from wood, taken it out and caught a wave on it, I can tell you that the first time you paddle in and get to your feet, is truly a timeless feeling of joy and achievement."
