Parquet shortboard
Showcases a fully hand-laid paulownia parquet deck, made from individually cut and placed tiles that form a continuous woven pattern across the board’s surface. The result is a lightweight, naturally buoyant surf craft with a striking geometric aesthetic that highlights the character and warmth of real timber.
Designed with modern shortboard contours but finished with traditional woodworking methods, this piece blends performance-driven shaping with fine craftsmanship. The parquet construction adds visual depth and texture while maintaining paulownia’s signature strength-to-weight balance.
Built as both a functional surfboard and a statement of craft, this board represents the harmony between contemporary surf design and meticulous handwork—an example of Hawkers’ dedication to wooden surf craft that ride beautifully and look timeless.
Dimensions: 5'11" x 22" x 2 1/2"
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
