Although there are tons of surfboard designs that are now integrated with technology, these luxurious wooden surfboard designs are more for purists.
The surfboards were developed for Octovo by surfboard builder Jason Tilley, along with a chic series of board bags to carry a range of surf gear in. The boards start at $3,000, a pricey tag that comes from having each of the wooden surfboards hand cut and shaped. The thickness of the board varies slightly based on the type of wood used to construct it, although the boards are able to withstand wear better than a conventional surfboard due to their unique composition and the care that goes into crafting each and every one.
