Yeah that's the go. The pen sketch was pretty bashed out.

My twin is 6'0. I'm 5'10 and 84kg. So I guess that qualifies as 'bigger'. Wouldn't wanna go any shorter than 6'0 with having to chase down and drive over lumpy shifty beachies.

I'm gonna do the whole thing from start to finish, with guidance. My graphics and art will be straight from the depths of psychedelic hell.

Noted, but I will be under guidance from a bloke that used to have a shaping factory up in Lennox back in the nineties thru early 2000s. He used to ghost shape for a lot of the big names up there, and has done stack of channel bottoms. Have seen his boards and the dude can surely shape. So will/shou...

sometime in January onward i'm going to have a crack at shaping my first board. this is the draft (quick pencil sketch). not yet decided on the tail width and shape? i'm leaning towards the wider tail for more drive/resistance over flatter-dead sections, carry thru speed etc - and the bat tail for m...

North end, then south end, then north end again. The banks have officially turned to garbage once more. It'll need a solid groundswell or two to sort things out again.

Been having a blast on the twinny lately. Waist high lumpy slop to clean overhead.

Put it thru the paces last weekend. Found out it can handle a bit of size. 4-5 foot reef bombie. The board felt loose and carvy, but still had a tonne of bite and grip, and plenty of drive.

Old Retro boards. A single, twin, and thruster.

50 bucks each or 100 bucks for the lot.

Bankstown, bro. Fully sick

This FB site "board porn" gets some seriously nice looking boards on it, shapers from all over. Typically the old-new blended shapes

Today and yesterday, a four foot plus reef bombie a few hours south of Sydney. Real swell magnet. First time I've surfed it. Steep take off with a fun inside bowl section you could carve up. Really shifty wave, and elusive at times. Kinda like a ripbowl. It looks like it'd be a great spot in a big s...

After having time off, the first thing you quickly have to remember is that you're not on water . Meaning, don't try and plant your backfoot through the back of the lip, like a vertical re-entry. Instead, it's fkn concrete, so ease up a little, and push off it (not through it), or you could fk yours...

I don't, although it may seem that way. I just maximise what spare time I have, and create opportunities for myself ( example get up super early to go surfing, or hit the gym ). I've hardly skated in the past eighteen months. Just got the urge again. Carving up bowls is good cross training for surfi...
