Driftwood Surfboards

Driftwood Surfboards makes performance surfboards out of wood, either reclaimed or harvested from sustainable sources. Their hollow wooden surfboards pay homage to the classic wooden wave craft of yesteryear, but they are light years ahead in terms of design, structure and usability. Driftwood was set up in 2009 by shaper, designer and artist David Forsyth, who began shaping his first boards when he was 19 years old. He first built them to surf on himself in his native Cornwall, but after ten years on the road he returned home to study furniture at Cambourne College and then focus on sustainable product design at Falmouth.
