Riley Balsa Wood Surfboards

A fantastic course with an amazing finished product at the end. Mark is a fountain of knowledge and experience and a steady guiding hand. 10/10 - have already recommended to friends.

I was a little bit disappointed. I thought it come in a jar, not in a plastic bag, but anyway the product is great. It makes it easy to use on my models which makes it easier to sand and thank you

Hi, received some of your balsa putty yesterday for working on balsa RC plane bloody fantastic stuff. I've tried a couple of so-called modelling putties, but compared to your product, they were all shit. Keep up the good work, Steve

It’s a magnificent work of functional art. Mark Riley is masterful craftsman and artist.

So sorry Mark for the delayed text - just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your support with Jack finalizing the surfboard for his major work. Cannot thank you enough. He loved working with you Kristy

Hello Mark,

I just wanted to get back to you regarding the order sent to France.

After a hand injury forced a break (amazing what a planer can do to your hand... first time in 30 years of use!) I finally got around to opening things up and began shaping this week.

The cut lumber looks great, that'll be for the second board.

Anyway, I'm stoked to be advancing on this and thanks for working with me on billing and shipping.

Best Jeffrey from France

Very good 👍

Hi Mark,
Just wanted to share a quick update — I’ve completed my scratch build of the RES Eagle competition glider, and I’m stoked with the result! Every single part was cut, sanded, and painted by hand, and the take-off weight came in at just 436 grams.
Today was the maiden flight, marking the end of this 4-week project. I’ve attached a few photos so you can see what your balsa wood has turned into!
Thanks again for the great balsa — it made all the difference in this build.
Cheers,
Holger

Great service and very quick delivery 👏

Just been testing this board in Cyclone Alfred, it go's amazing, holds in on overhead solid waves and then on the other side it surfs waist high waves with looseness, it paddles well and duck dives easy a great all rounder board! Get yourself one whatever level surfer you are to your dimensions! Next test will be in Indo!
