Kima Wooden Surf Board

I worked in a High Performance environment as a Strength & Conditioning trainer across many different sport codes for 25 years. I was fortunate to also work with Paralympic & Olympic athletes. At some point I made the decision to return to the place of my childhood. The island of Crete where I had my most fondest memories from my youth. Whilst adjusting to my new life in Greece I decided to make a wooden surfboard.

Building the surfboards from wood bought out my craftsmanship that was most likely inherited from my grandfather who was a carpenter. That is were the idea of Kima Wooden Surfboards was started.

All the boards are handmade from start to finish. Every phase of the surfboard build is intentionally made with attention to detail. Using sustainably farmed Paulownia wood & eco friendly materials such as recycled EPS foam core, natural fabrics, cork & Bio resin. The boards are hand laminated and vacuum bagged during assembly using a simple vacuum bagging set up.

Each board is perfectly designed & crafted with attentiveness, passion, care & respect for the environment. The idea is based on being a conscious surfer. The brand represents an awareness to a healthy lifestyle of balanced body, mind, emotional & spiritual health so that this may bring a mindfulness to ourselves our behaviour & how we effect our environment.
