The sun is out, there look to be some fun waves about this weekend and with a cool start to the day, it almost feels like that special time of year....Autumn. Enjoy it whilst you can! - 📷 Mat Arney Photography

The last day of shaping in the workshop can get a little "touchy-feely"....Martin, Terry and Matt spent most of today running their rasps, sanding blocks and hands up and down the rails of their surfboards until they were ready to sign them off. Great work today gents, thanks for a fantastic week! Much love, see you again soon to share some waves!

All hands on decks. - Shaping day in the workshop today. Most of the work on the decks is now done and we're onto sanding. Thirsty work today fellas, who's for a beer at the pub? 📷 Mat Arney Photography

Overnight cure. - Terry, Martin and Matt's boards are all wrapped up and tucked in for the night, with their deck skins being glued down. Shaping day tomorrow, great work today fellas, sleep well ;)

One by one. - Rail day in the workshop today and Matt (pictured), Terry and Martin got their gloves on and got stuck in. One by one, strip by strip, we build up the rails and at the end of the day we start to see the outline and volume of our boards. Great work today gents! More of the same tomorrow!

Relaxing in the shade of the workshop and enjoying the sunshine during lunchtime....now it's time for a swim in the sea! That's how we spent our #bankholiday How about you? - Day one of the workshop and Matt, Terry and Martin have just glued their frames down to their bottom skins. Great work today fellas!

Bringing bodysurfing stoke to the big smoke - this week's journal is now live http://www.ottersurfboards.co.uk/journal

We've been pretty lucky with the weather and waves this week, it would have been rude not to make the most of it! Here's Tom and James heading out onto a fun looking sandbank on Tuesday. - 📷 Mat Arney Photography

Some days the sun shines and the waves break at the bottom of the hill in such a tempting way. Those are the days we down tools and enjoy a few waves together. Today was one of those days and we're all feeling pretty good for it. We hope you were able to enjoy it too! 📷 Mat Arney Photography

The latest issue of The Surfer's Journal has just landed and boy is it special....we couldn't put it down, so much great content! Love it. http://www.ottersurfboards.co.uk/products/the-surfers-journal 26.4 - On the cover: “Water is the New Black,” 18x24-inch screen print by Shepard Fairey. Renderings inside the book frame the combat and surf photography of photojournalist Nic Bothma, sketch in the dimensions of Skip Frye’s personal quiver, and go horseback on an expedition through the wilds of Chile. Long reads by Kimball Taylor (on the current state of bodyboarding) and Jamie Brisick (with a haunting essay on love, death, and Brazilian shore-pound) add depth and shading.
