Deutsche grundlichkeit



Jonas, board nr.1

Jonas came all the way from Germany to be greeted by massive winds and lots of foam. He made a huge impression on the other shapers by showing his first! hollow wooden board. It looked insanely clean and very neatly crafted. Jonas is a cabinet maker, and if you would like to build a wooden board yourself, start out with cabinets. It works!
In my opinion by far the nicest board out there. Could be that I like old skool longboard shapes, but could also be that I like insane craftsmanship.


He got the outline of the board by taking a beamer and projecting a picture of a Wegener board on a piece of paper fixed to his his wall, and then tracing the outline onto the paper. Very creative solution.

  3. He's making an impression on other people as well...
    But I think he has a girlfriend though.

    Sorry, you'll have to find someone else to build you cabinets :)
