Our Mini Mal is a great introduction into the world of building wooden surfboards as it is relatively easy to build and features gentle contours and rocker line.
The board features a single concave at the nose transitioning into a double concave at the tail providing a modern feel to the board while out on the water, there is a little extra volume in but the volume distribution is still very centralized and gives the shaper a lot of options for customizing the outline and rocker of the tail.
Designed to be suitable for first-time builders the 8′ Mini Mal is a joy to make!
“A DIY Wooden Surfboard Kit Like No Other”
Our CNC wooden surfboard frame kits are lightweight, easy to assemble and incredibly strong.
Unlike other wood surfboard frames on the market that use plywood that’s treated with nasty chemicals and glues, our frames are 100% made natural paulownia timber that has been FSC certified making them the eco-friendly and natural choice.
CNC accuracy means you can be certain that your new hollow core wooden surfboard will fit together perfectly with no hidden surprises.
Please note: that Hollow Core Surfboards will still require Fiberglassing before being used on the water. We suggest using 4oz cloth with two layers on the top deck and one of the bottom. It is upto the buyer to source this component of the build. If you’re in perth we can arrange professional fibreglassing on your behalf.

Fantastic kit, Just finished the 8’0 mini mal, It has come out a treat. The kit is easy to use and put together. However there are plenty of opportunities to potentially mess this up. So it was a great that the kit is easy to use but also added the challenge of putting it together nicely. I was sent the segmented rail kit which I found difficult to get nice fitting joints, I think when I build the next one I might opt for the solid rail installation. Rail shaping was a worry to start but pre cut rail guide included was an added bonus. The rocker table was excellent – it could be made at home cheaper but the cost vs time and effort at home, it is a no brainer- get the rocker table. I got the Fin Hardware bundle, I wouldn’t opt for this again. There is a full build of this on Jords Wood shop youtube that I only discovered by accident. Having all the videos in one place would be excellent. Using the videos with the build book is helpful as the build book still needs tweaking.
