Sharkboy Corkie 'Travel' Surfer - featuring a cork deck and fibreglass core

Inspired by the indestructible McDonalds food tray as a superb alternative body surfing vessel the Sharkboy Corkie travel surfer shares a similar water contact surface area.

Handmade with a woven fibreglass core sandwiched between 2 very thin layers of aviation grade Baltic birch ply topped with a grippy cork deck. The board has a scooped nose and a pair of parallel glassed fins for improved performance as well as a nylon cord ready for you to attach your leash if required.

Approximate dimensions (not including fins) are 530mm length, 390mm width, 5mm thickness and a weight of just 600g!

The logo is hand screen printed and the boards are finished with Danish oil and beeswax. (Care instructions included)

ABOUT SHARKBOY BELLYBOARDS:

My love of the sea started with sailing, as kids my brother and I did some windsurfing and dinghy sailing courses with the RYA in the summer holidays and were both hooked.
I went on to work as a GRP boat builder, first at yacht builders Colvic craft in Earls Colne, where we made some interesting craft including the kevlar reinforced Millennium Farr 65 round the world yachts. I then worked at White Formula in Brightlingsea for Olympic sailor Rob White mainly building Dart 18 catamarans.

All Sharkboy Bellyboards are handmade from responsibly sourced, Forest Friendly wood.
