A once-in-a-lifetime experience
Over three days in Nazaré, you’ll craft your own wooden surfboard by hand.

It’s about taking a break, learning something new, reconnecting.
It’s about creating with your own hands — and walking away with something uniquely yours.

Your surfboard, made by you Priceless
You’ll build it, sign it, and take it home. No other board in the world carries the same meaning.

What past participants say
Surf Icons at the Workshop
Some of the greatest legends in surfing have already been here. They shared the shaping bay with us and helped strengthen this movement even more.
Plant a board, grow a story
The wood you’ll use to build your surfboard is some of the best in the world.
High-performance Paulownia, cultivated by Ipaulonia — lightweight, strong, and sustainable.
It allows for boards that combine performance with environmental awareness.
As part of the workshop, you’ll receive a sapling of this very tree —
A living symbol of your creation.
A tree that grows over time, just like what you’ll live through here.

David Weber
Engineer by training. Shaper by calling.
David Weber left conventional materials behind and created a new path in surfboard building: a method in wood — light, clean, and deeply connected to nature.
What started as a personal quest became a unique system that unites design, performance, and environmental awareness.
His boards are ultra-light, durable, and functional — but they carry more than technique.
They carry the value of something made by hand.
Internationally recognized, his method has elevated wooden surfboard building to another level — where aesthetics and purpose go hand in hand, without sacrificing performance in the water.
Today, David teaches this craft in both in-person and online workshops.
More than shaping boards, he offers a transformative experience — an invitation for those who want to create with their own hands something that goes far beyond the shape.
My connection with Portugal began in 2017
That’s when I ran my first Euro Tour Workshop in Ericeira — and brought my entire family with me.
At the same time, I joined a wooden surfboard gathering in northern Spain.
We rented a motorhome and took a 15-day road trip through Portugal and Spain.
We passed through many special places, but the stop in Nazaré stayed with me.
We spent the night with our motorhome on the cliff by the lighthouse — something that’s no longer allowed today.
Since then, this connection has only grown stronger.
Portugal has always welcomed me with open arms, and every time I return to build boards here, it feels like coming home.
