Barefoot Boards® is a small family run business based in Oregon. We build custom handcrafted hollow wooden stand up paddle boards, surfboards, and body boards. We "re-use" a high percentage of salvaged wood in the construction of each and every one of our boards. In other words... we take someone's old neglected deck or fence boards and make them into one of these sweet rides.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding - Fern Ridge Reservoir
We took a couple boards down to Fern Ridge Reservoir. We had a great time stand up paddle boarding even though the lake was more crowded than usual.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding - Willamette River
Today was really hot so we decided to take one of our new board designs out to the Willamette River for a test ride... and it was a good excuse to cool off. The new board design turned out great, it was very stable even in the strong Willamette current, so we will be making more soon.

Promotional Board
This board will be will be leaving for it's new home in Hawaii very soon. We're sad to see it go... and possibly a little jealous that it's going without us.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding - Alsea River, Oregon
We took the stand up paddleboards out on the Alsea River today in the Waldport area. It was a very nice scenic paddle with a mild current. Because we were close to where the river meets the Ocean the current changed direction depending on the tides. If you time it right that can work in your favor. The only downside is that water temperatures are on the chilly side year round. We would definitely recommend the Alsea River as a destination for SUP users to visit. If you are interested check out any of the marinas in the Waldport area that have launching facilities. A word of caution... if you venture into the Alsea Bay there can be fierce currents during tide change so be safe.
