Attitude is the ultimate piece of equipment – no matter how good the wave or how tuned the board – a lousy attitude definitely ruins your day.

After only two blocks of wax the 14 footer got wet. And reports are that she paddles, trims , turns, glides and generally does as planned. Sounds good to me. Happy birthday Eddie and enjoy the glide. @eddieventures At least you know you won’t be handing it down to the kids for many a year.

A potential new model. 9’ x 22 1/2” x 3” @ 66 Lts. Fully rolled bottom nose to tail with a slight transition to V and a hard edge in the tail. Plenty of rocker with 50 / 50 rails. I think she will be a sweet ride. Any thoughts on a name? Rainbow Fish ?

The Noosa Festival of surfing is celebrating its 3

The Noosa Festival of surfing is celebrating its 30th year. That is quite a milestone. Nine days of surf culture art music and lots of surfing on some great waves. Having organised events I applaud their patience and tenacity to keep going for 30 years well done.

Always good to have a run of boards and get stuck

Always good to have a run of boards and get stuck in knocking them out. Vacuum bagging is such a great process and so effective.

This is Lulu (Luanda) 9 and her brother Hosea 8 who love there surfing and are little rippers to boot. On the weekend out of 49 surfers in the May round of the Burleigh Longboarders there were 7 heats of 7 surfers in each heat. Lulu and Hosea won their heats. They then surfed off against the 5 other heat winners in the final. Hosea placed 4th and Lulu 6th. There little sister Nylah 6 is getting the feel for it with her dad Eddie. They are regulars at The Alley or Burleigh most mornings before school. So good to see these guys growing with their love of the ocean. So well behaved and respectful. Hosea’s Wild Pig is 7’ x 18” x 2 1/4” @ 33 litres. Just a scaled down design to suit the size of the rider. Stringerless EPS.
