Ode to Simplicity

August 18, 2014 1 min read

South African carpenter, artist and Wawa Wooden Surfboards shaper Andrew Strode stars in a new documentary where he talks about wood as his favorite raw material for building boards, bodysurfing and his blind dog, Lutea, that is addicted to water. Strode discusses how simplicity plays an important role in his life in Muizenberg, South Africa. So lay back, put up your feet and check out this video to learn how you can incorporate more simplicity in your life!

About Wawa Wooden Surfboards

Wawa Wooden Surfboards is an anachronistic little wooden surfboard company where quality, respect for your roots and a belief in the sanctity of nature are cornerstones. The wooden surfboards are inspired by the intuited hydrodynamic genius of the ancient Hawaiian board builders. Handcrafted and green, Wawa boards allow for a wave sliding experience that, until recently, lay buried in the dust of museums. The boards offer a surfing experience of profound purity and unbridled, utterly gratuitous fun.

Hand slyde

The leash works amazing i won't go out without my leash on....

Bula hand board

This handboard is exactly what I was looking for. The size and craftsmanship is fantastic! I have gotten some great rides with this board. Super fun.

Ready for the Senior Tour

I received my Slyde Phish just before 2 weeks of gloomy weather. Now that I’ve had a chance to road test it, I can’t wait to get back in the water.

Growing up in Long Island NY, body surfing was my first wave gliding experience. Typically we would drive straight to shore so surfing the diagonal has been a learning curve.

I look forward to many great sets this summer.

So much fun!

These little boards are amazing! We bought a couple to bring with us to Hawaii and had a blast.. super easy to travel with, just fit right in my backpack. Made riding the waves so much fun and worked just as good as a full sized boogie board one of my friends had. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to try it out again!

Love my Bula!

I recently been spending a lot of time on the North Shore of Oahu, and there’s nothing better than the Bula for bigger more intense surf. Too much fun brah! Mahalo nui loa!
