Yoni surfboards is born out of Zé’s love for craftmanship and nature. Each board is handcrafted in Portugal with local and sustainable materials and a minimum impact on the environment.
With a Yoni surfboard under your feet a tree can continue its life. Out of one tree we make 20 boards and for each board we sell we plant a new one!
SHAPE & STAY:
With our Shape and Stay package we give you the option to build your own wooden board under Zé’s guidance. During the course, which takes between 6 and 10 days you can stay at our Eco lodge where we have created two separate apartments. While working on your board we enjoy meals together and talk about life.
By building your own board and stay at our place you will learn about:
The basic safety of carpentry.
Different types of wood and why we use them.
Techniques for construction and the use of tools.
The basic notions of surfboard design and ways to customize your board.
Laminating techniques.
About our eco lodge
We live in the countryside between the medieval village Obidos and the surf capital Peniche. At our lodge we try to live in a good harmony with animals and plants. We work based on the principles of a biodynamic agriculture in order to achieve a self-sustaining ecological entity.
