IWBBA

The International Women Board Builders Association. A community for every woman who wants to shape surfboards.

IWBBA exists because women have always belonged in the shaping bay. We connect board builders across the globe — from first-timers to master shapers — through education, community, and hands-on experience. All ages, all bodies, all backgrounds welcome.

The Camp

One month on Australia's east coast. An intensive programme where you live, learn, and shape every single day. You'll arrive as a beginner and leave with a board you built with your own hands.

Accommodation, materials, and all tuition included in the camp fee. Community membership gives you access to everything else.
