ANDY WALLACE

Made from Chinese/Royal Empress (Paulownia tomentosa). This timber is lightweight and yet strong and flexible. It is also impervious to salt water, which makes it ideal for building these boards. Finished with bees wax.

This board was created in collaboration with first Nations Artist, Andy Snelgar as a part of the Ocean Dreaming Collection.

“This design represents the Sharks or goo-roo-wee dancing in the water. These animals travel up and down the coast at different times. This animal was a punishment fella and very important in Aboriginal culture.” Andy Snelgar
