The Board Room
The journey each board takes before carrying your loved ones into the ocean is one of compassion, creativity and collaboration. OLWP boards are built from scratch by a professional surfboard shaper who spends weeks creating them (designing, shaping, glassing, sanding, polishing). The names are then carefully etched on, one by one. Here is just a sample of some of the imagery of the completed boards carrying your loved ones out to catch one last wave.
Thanks to your generous support through the OLWP Shop, each of the boards has been fully funded by you, providing hope and compassion to all the famlies that will follow. The boards have a unique QC code that can be scanned to see a list of names on it. You can also visit them on our page at Surf Neutral
