Project Description

Through a partnership with Grain Surfboards Swell offers a two-week project where participants build their own surfboards - shaping them from Eastern White Cedar.

Each student will develop a practice that hones the body through exercise and meditation, the hands through focused craftsmanship, and the mind through reflection and study of surfing as both play and sport.

Students will take their handmade surfboards home at the close of the project on Friday at 2:30 PM.
