Noah's Boards
Maker of Fine Wooden Boards Since 1988
LIGHTER * FASTER * STRONGER
Noah's Boards: After nearly a decade of research development, Noah's Wooden Long Boards, Short Boards, (Surfboards), and Stand Up Paddle Boards (Wooden SUP) has brought back to life the art of wood surfboard making. These Wooden Long boards and Stand Up Paddle Boards compete in price, out perform fiberglass foam and resin boards. The boards are handcrafted out of wood in Long Beach, CAThe Surfboard Industry moved to cheaper construction of boards, such as foam, resin and fiberglass in the 60's and 70's. The push to mass produce boards at a lower price. The decision was predicted on profits vs art, function and performance.
JJ Wessel (Spomsored Becker SurfBoards) says" Noah's Boards have a ride that will carry more momentum and speed down a wave then standard man made material surfboards."
Ty Upson (Forest Ranger at Yellow Stone ) says "The Wood Stand Up Paddle Boards board is very beautiful to look at and is true eye candy. I get the sense that I am back in time as I look forward over the board as I paddle and see wood as folks did 70 years ago! It is very stable, even reaching across 2 ft chop or heading upwind in a good blow. the rail outlines and contours allow paddling to be done continuously on one side without a "J" stroke to keep it straight. All you have to do is put a wee bit of pressure on the paddling side rail and she stays straight! She paddles well too at speed with if you switch sides quickly, one paddle normal stroke on one side with a switch to the other side and , not switching grip on paddle, do and inside paddle and back ect...... just like a single bladed kneeling kayaker. Not as heavy as you would think and much lighter then those old redwood planks. They drain holes in the back are great too, allowing any water that makes way in to get out . Just wonderful and a really stable and elegant board.Know too that f you do not have the heart to cover up the beautiful deck with grip stuff, it waxes just like any other "normal" long board.

According to Barry Haun (from the Surfing Heritage Foundation), "while wood construction costs more it outlasts boards made of foam, fiberglass, and resin"...as such the cost of ownership for the purchase of a wooden board outperforms the costs of ownership of boards made from other types of materialsNoahs Wood Surfboards has engineered a unique board that maximizes the God-created qualities and characteristics of wood to create a truly unique riding experience. Recently Harry Haun, the curator for the Surfing Heritage Foundation archive, confirmed this move by stating that wood reacts different than foam materials.
Paying Attention to the smallest details and adopting technology from the Aerospace Industry, Noah's has engineered a hollow core wood surfboard that perfectly choreograph the natural characteristics of wood, glues and finishes to create a unique riding experience.
Noah's surfboards are designed to endure a lifetime of use... easy to repair and maintain. We make sure that the products and process we use is friendly to the environment.
