Description
Board 1. This surfboard is brand new. It has never been used. This 9-foot classic balsa beauty was created and hand-built by Mark RILEY for the American market. This is the first Riley board to be built for the US market since Mark started building balsa boards in 1996.
"The Beauty in Imperfection: Embracing the Unique Qualities of Handmade Boards"
The sensation of gliding through the water with a wooden surfboard is truly unique and cannot be replicated by any other material. The natural beauty and organic connection to the environment make handmade boards crafted from sustainable materials a top choice for surfers looking for a one-of-a-kind experience.
Riley Australia has been creating these works of art for over 25 years. This class act includes 5 Australian redwood stringers with matching cedar balsa combination blocks to finish off the nose and tail with exquisite workmanship.
This board is built using a recyclable polystyrene core that gives the 6kg feel to this remarkable board to either surf it or hang it in your loungeroom or office.
The board has been signed and numbered No. 1 by Mark for surfers or collectors in the USA.
The matching wood-coloured fin box gives you the flexibility to change your fin when it suits you. It comes with a hand-foiled balsa and cedar laminated fin that shines and sparkles just like the board.
Mark Riley worked on this board for countless hours, blending balsa from South America and PNG with Australian red cedar stringers. Shaped to classic Hawaiian templates, at 9’0” x 19” x 3” it’s a proven big-wave plan shape and rocker and will go like the clappers. This gun is a one-off and a labour of love for Mark and is most definitely in the collectors’ category. “In our 25 years of building Riley Balsawood Surfboards this is the first of its kind for the USA,” says Mark. “It was built with passion and solely by hand. Laid up with custom redwood/balsa nose and tail blocks, it has 7 stringers using gorgeous deep red Aussie cedar. Yes, gorgeous! It’s fitted with a hand-made 1 off 7” gun shape cedar/balsa fin with the sunrise and wave design.
Felipe Pomar (World Champ big wave surfer) says “That is a bloody awesome shape! My 1st board was a balsa wood board. I loved it!. Since then I have had a few others. I have loved them all. They have a classic look! They have a special feel. They are the real deal!
It comes with handmade timber wall racks and a signed Framed Photograph of Mark and the board.
It also comes with electronic photos of the board being made.

made all the difference
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

6'11 Semi Gun Birthday Gift
I signed myself up to a masterclass with Mark to make myself a unique 50th birthday gift for myself. The results speak for themselves.
Initial engagement with Mark ensured we were on track to make the Balsa surfboard of my dreams. The next steps to progress the lengths of balsa to a surfboard shape were clear and precise thanks to Mark's guidance. Mark provides clear direction on what is required and is helpful when it comes to those tricky steps. The use of power tools and hand sanding was very therapeutic through the whole process.
Mark's experience shone through when we had some trouble with my special requests and finishes that were required. Mark was able to find solutions and ensured that the board finished in accordance with my initial design.
If you are on the fence about shaping your own Balsa board, I strongly suggest giving the process a go under Mark's guidance. You won't be sorry.
Thanks, Mark, for all your guidance and support in making my 50th birthday gift so unique.

Build an Enviro Wooden Balsawood Surfboard with Mark Riley at Miranda
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
He is a good person. He has some talent in this type of work.you should be proud of him
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
