5 had made custom balsa boards built in 2 days. Great feat by these 5 students. All foam core with balsa sheets and bands and nose and tail blocks. These guys have dreamt of customising their very own shapes for years. #balsa #balsasurfboard #shapingclass (at Balsa Surfboards Riley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVZc3ThF8fM/?utm_medium=tumblr
