Surfboards made out of wood

300 Hours. Two Hands. One Board.

„Shape carved with Japanese chisels“
„Oil-finished for saltwater resistance“
„No molds, no factories – only muscle memory“

From Tree to Treasure

We use Paulownia – one of the lightest sustainable woods, prized by master boatbuilders. It grows faster than oak, yet offers unmatched strength-to-weight ratio. Each board begins as a single plank, hand-selected for grain and buoyancy.

The result? Boards that heal the planet wave by wave

sawdust becomes compost, scraps turn into fins

About the company

The WHY

We’re a team of surfers and wood nerds crafting the world’s finest wooden windsurfboards.

No factories.

No mass production.

Just 12 heirloom-quality boards per year – each a collaboration between artisan and rider.

Our workshop in Austria runs on Paulownia, traditional joinery, and the belief that the best boards don’t come from molds – they come from conversations.“

KEENLEY began when Chris, a former mechatronics engineer, grew frustrated with disposable surf gear. Today, he builds boards as nature intended – with time, patience and materials that grow back.
