Choosing wood is part of the craft —
grain, weight, flexibility, and memory are what define the character of each board.
Every board starts long before the water.
Shaped by hand using traditional Japanese techniques.
A quiet dialogue between shaper and wood guides the board toward its final form.
A final check by hand, feeling the shape and imagining how water will move across it.
Each board becomes a connection, shaped with care and deep respect for the material.
Wood from the mountains, shaped for the ocean.
