Got Wood? Want to Alaia?

2008-08-05T20:29:00.004+10:00

We got busy on a flat Day and made a new Alaia for the Demo Range at the Shop. this one is made of Paulonia and measures 6'6"x16 1/2"x 3/4". perfect for most average size surfers. these pics are taken just before Jamie took it out for a christening! He came back from surfing in front of the shop at Tugun with smiles ear to ear. catching waves that you would struggle to get any sort of joy on with a normal board.

Hands up for the DK8-Kwad in Indo

2008-08-01T13:53:00.005+10:00

Dave and I have been working on a few new concepts and testing them in the waves where I live in Bali, Indonesia. On Dave’s recent trip to Bali we worked closely on fine tuning a board design that would be suitable for a broad range of conditions. The development we have been working on from last year. The idea is to come up with a single board that is light and maneuverable in small beach break waves while maintaining integral strength and function for riding medium to large size waves over reef. We are getting close to perfecting this design and we tested a few boards at various locations on the island, trying to get a real feel for each board to discover both the positive and negative attributes. the DK8 is our result... This is a 6'2" roundtail DK at Belangan. We surfed this board in small 1-2 foot beachbreaks then right up to this day at Belangan... ALL ROUND BOARD...! 10/10.
