art

Its an art to write the dimensions on a freshly shaped board, you dont want to stuff it up and you want it to look natural and neat, after 40 years of shaping. Thats how its done.

templets

Its amazing how that something so simple such as a templet is the main tool that you need to shape a board, its abit of ply wood but has the most important information.

headed up north













About 2 months ago joe, jason and i packed up joes van and headed up the coast for a few days. The swell was small and the wind was blowing SW, so off to crescent heads we went. We left early on a thursday morning and arrived there at lunch, the swell was around 2-3 feet and just perfect.

5'6 STUBBY the new love of my life!!


after buying the best surf movie eva, ONE CALIFORNIA DAY, and after seeing some stubbys and bonzas being ridden, inspired me to try something new, this was the first one of the stubbys that i have made, such a fun board to ride, very different to anything i have tried before. This board is now the main board that i ride and I'm looking forward to making more. The stubby rides high and tight in the pocket of the wave, it love little sucky swells.

shape by decals



My good friend Kathrine Hall has come up with some "shape by" decals for me, so keep an eye out and thanks kath, killer job.

fishie's




this is my brother's board i made for him, its a 6'0 keel fish, the templet is off a Wagner fish that a friend had. About 4 or 5 years ago i was introduced to fish's on a small summer day, i could not belive the speed you could generate on a small wave and also how easy the paddle was. Since that day iv never looked back, i think in the past 4 year's iv ridden a thruster once.

surfer joe

summer time, how killer is it, warm water, bright sun, light wind. Surferjoe is Joe Hall, who love the ocean and if he's not in it he is on the beach taking photo of it, you have to have a look at he's blog, its a great read every day....surferjoe.com.au

kath hall


kath hall is amazing, first she's killer at drawing and second she's killer at painting, plus she rides a long board. I asked her to do what ever she wanted on the bottom of the new Quad, this is what she come up with, i love it and it looks amazing, if you like her stuff have a look at her blog..drawn-lines.blogspot.com

two by two quad


New quad i made for myself, its 5'8, it needs anything over 3 foot to have fun on it. The first surf i had on it was out at copa point, copa is a really nice wallie left, has two take offs, one peeky one right out the back that come onto the second take off which is a crazy flat rock that just sucks up, great ride.

some idea's

So at night when im taking it easy ill do some drawning, some colour combos for tints.
