Finding The Line: Experimentations on a 14 Foot TOM BLAKE Inspired Kookbox Surfboard

- Part of surfing to me is appreciating the unique history of those pioneer surfers who laid the foundation for wave riding as we know it today. Open thinkers, creative craftsmen, natural water people, and risk takers are who make up the colorful quilt of surfing culture. This was a project in honor of that spirit. My friend and craftsman, Donald Brink and I had been spending time at the Surfing Heritage Museum in San Clemente staring at these incredible wooden Kookbox boards on the walls from Tom Blake. Our minds went wild with imagination of what it would feel like to ride waves on crafts like those that hung on the walls... so there in began the journey of Donald and I bringing our own 14 Tom Blake inspired Kookbox design to life.
Hope you enjoy the experience!

The best kind of fun
Dane is so awesome he surfs big waves and you see him at San o with just as big a smile on his face. Always stoked waving even if he doesn’t know you, here in San Clemente we assume we all know each other #PositiveVibeWarrior thanks for stoke yew
I love how quickly you can put these together with no fiberglass or any of that modern stuff. About two years ago Tom Blakes design inspired me to make my own windsurfboard without any fiberglass, epoxy etc. It's just wood, glue and varnish. It's actually not much heavier than a normal windsurfboard and it's holding together well.
I think that we've gotten too used to thinking that you need modern high tech materials to build a surfboard. Tom Blake was able to make boards without that kind of stuff and he could have pushed the material properties of those materials a lot further.
Back then i was looking so hard for a video of someone making his board the way he did. So seeing this video now put a smile on my face!
this vid makes you want to surf :D
This board looks so much fun !! I would love to ride
the feeling you guys talk is like foiling
This is awesome Dane!!!!!
This was awesome to watch I first saw tom’s photograph in Hawaii and then watching this it’s like a full circle, I fell in love with surf history too with duke and the stories of the 70s thank you
Absolutely loved every second of this! Pure stoke.
This makes me want to build my own. Beautiful!
loved this type of video!!!
new feels
This is sweet
Very cool video...
I started surfing on a similar board without a fin ,here in Aus back in the day.Still remember the glide on the smallest waves.What was the bottom shape ,seemed to have chamfered rails .My memory of mine is curved deck,curved bottom,square rails and some nose rocker .Would love to get some dimensions to make one.I guess paulownia would be a big part of it these days.Mine was plywood and I am guessing cedar ,lots of copper nails,stainless tail plate with D ring ,and a drain plug on the nose. ......Thanks
Proud of ya! Passion is good. I am going to build one.
This is really cool can we see something like this for bigger waves and more fins ,also what if we drill a windsurf mast on it
You should do a video with Brian bent he rides kook boxes down at Doho
Y’all should hook up with Brian bent talk with him about his kook box boards he builds this was a sweet video
Beautiful i thought those boards were mostly use for going straight or a slight angle
What sort of wood are you using? Thanks looks amazing
Now I just wanna take a skill saw to my rails and cut off the 50/50 rails.
what did you seal it with?
Too much role on hence it slipping out all the time… OG didn’t lose themselves as much
