OK, last one....6'7" Russ Short. cold spoon batoes?

Those zak boards are shaped by the man hinself. You can tell as he signs his name and dims. in the deck center, and writes 'peace' on the tail.

On the other i doubt they would give a license to someone who could not faithfully reproduce what is essentially a lifes work.

Seems to be from the states, its got a moonlight glassing decal

That price is very good.

You know you want it.

Here you go loofy, buy it now.

Loofy, Rhino Laminating are the agents for Campbell Bros. Aside from Malcolm Campbell doing an annual shaping stint here, Mike Psillakis shapes them.

Or you can buy one stock. There may be a few places that stock them, Shop Next Door and Zak Surfboards are two I know of.

Maybe Julia will be back with some $900 cheques?

Matty, how much do you weigh? You are a big unit no? In all honesty I don't think it would do over the early 90's kg, but each to their own. This was custom shaped for me at 86/87kg and decntly fit 47 last year. I have gone a Russ Short in similar dims. and it would have at least 10% more volume, an...

May I suggest get in touch with Ron Goddard at Coffs. he does the volume/performance tradeoff very well and is a true custom shaper.

I have three of his boards and they are all excellent.

The glass job is regular 6/4/4, albeit with the tail patches. its a little heavier due to the blank density, but not a great deal.

Ok Beery and you other vicarious hooverers, some more bonzer pRon. Dims are 7'2" by 21 1/4" by 2 11/16". (Myself 48, 182cm, 87kg.) The only thing even vaguely retro is the planshape. The rails and rocker are pretty contemporary thru my eyes. Low entry rocker but a fair kick thru the back 1/3, low so...

Hot off the press. My new ultimate trendy midlength.
7''2" Campbell Bros. Bonzer egg. This is going to go rather fcuking fast.

OK on the tricks side, apart from the ancient deck soaping trick, on any board with removable fins, on your mates board put one or two of them on backwards,

trust me, quite often they don't find out until the first wave.

will let you know matti, but it will be a year or three.

And here's a pic. of the rocker….

OK gents, here's your chance to get a Malcolm Campbell…. 6'8" by 20 3/4" by 2" 3/4 Would suit say 80kg (if you like a little more volume) to 90kg or maybe more (if you're pretty bloody fit) Rounded pin, medium rails, contemporary rocker, slightly fuller plan shape, slightly thicker foil, but by no m...

I wonder if Slater sold his shares then?

Wonder also how much (if any) he knew how the co. was performing

Fair enuff. I'm only after some context for my own edification as to some of the comments in this thread. The camera angle on those webcasts MAY make things look quite differnt to reality for want of a better expression. Remember the Pipe contest webcast which seemed to be mainly shot from a quite o...

A tangential question. On my one and only surf trip to Fiji, all I surfed was Namotu and Wilkes.

So all else equal, if you give Namotu/wilkes say a 5/10 on the hairy scale for arguments sake, where do CB and Ristorantes rate.?
