Board shaping at Skindogs!

One of the leading surfers in the world is helping the surf industry thrive in Cornwall by educating the next generation of industry experts.

Professional surfer Ben Skinner is sharing the talent and resources at his Newquay-based company Skindog Surfboards, with degree students from Cornwall College Newquay, giving them a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience of building a custom board.

Working in partnership with Cornwall College, Ben and his team at the Skindog factory will be helping Surf Science & Technology students to design, shape, paint and finish their own custom surfboards over the next few months as part of the ‘production methods’ module of their specialist foundation degree programme.
