When Rob from Tree to Sea Surfboards asked if I wanted to give
one of their eco-friendly Paulownia timber boards a go, I jumped at
the chance. I love surfing and spend most of my time on my CI Fever.
I’m a member of the Peninsula Surf Riders Club and love competing
in competitions. I mainly surf on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria
which gives us a huge variety of waves.
The board from Tree to Sea I’m riding is a 5’5 Vola Twin fin.
It’s super fun in smaller conditions and catches waves so easy.
One amazing bonus is how tough it is, its so easy to fix I don’t
have to hassle dad. Thanks heaps to the awesome crew at Tree to
Sea, I’m looking forward to lots of epic sessions on this little
beauty this Summer.

TREE TO SEA
AUSTRALIA ECO Board
workshops are held
over 2 days
We have 14 or so models to choose from
ranging from performance shortboards,
fishes, guns, longboards and our
popular custom service. If you prefer
TREE TO SEA AUSTRALIA can build an
ECO Board for you.
“Firstly, Rob, Gary & Darren - thanks so
much for a hugely enjoyable and rewarding
workshop. Rob for the technical know how,
Gary for the patience, and Darren for the dirty
jobs! I am absolutely stoked with the outcome
and cannot believe we did it in 2 days. Back
home I am trying to not let my enthusiasm
get in the way of being patient, working out
the staining, sanding - 120 then 240 grit,
colouring, pin lines, varnishing etc.”

The board has a very fast take off, easy pop up
and is really really fast down the line. Really
nice turns as well. Great bottom turn and
amazing tight but predictable turns off the top.
Super happy. The board got a lot of attention
on the beach. A lot of impressed onlookers
that discovered you can build a great board
with you guys. Thanks so much.”
