crafted in southern australia by walker in collaboration with artists stephen bowers and quentin gore,
the surfboards are constructed using solid paulownia laminated to a marine ply skeletal frame.
they are functioning works of art, sealed internally and waterproofed external through a fiberglass coating.
an air vent in the deck allows the board to breath, regulating the internal air pressure.
