Blank Post

Two paipo blanks, one'll be light weigt new school, the other an old design to learn from...

Alley Fish Fry

After heading over to the wooden board day in august, we wont be missing the fish fry.

Got a few tasty fishes cooking up especially.

Sweet boards, good dudes, warm water and good waves... what's not to like about this day!

Do it on your knees...

If you can get your hands on something different to surf its well worth it for variety, fun and the challenge of somethin new.

A long time ago Sean sent me this kneeboard to surf, and build him another. Well, I spent far too long surfing it and want my own. So now there's two rad kneeboard blanks just about to be glued up... a little late but better than never!

Steel and grinders..

Steel and grinders = good fun

Why buy equipment you can build yourself aye?!

New Profiler under construction...will be profiling blanks by friday.

Just back from a short summer family holiday and I've got a stack of boards under construction with heaps of photos to post, so keep checking back as we're now gettin busy!

Retro Cruiser and Striped Pintail

Benji won the raffle we held to raise funds for the Samoan Red Cross. He decided to go for this retro cruiser as a pressie for his brother in the States. It'll in the post on tuesday Benji...

I also built this striped pintail alongside it. Both boards are built from totally recycled timber, some of it from a demolished mental hospital..crazy.

See more photo's on our website.

Mean green...

A new green skate deck is making it's way through the glassing process.

Old school...bench

This is 40's style board I shaped to be a bench for Hamish.

The fact that anyone managed to paddle, let alone surf,

anything this heavy is impressive.

Longboard Skatedeck

Skating to work this morning I stopped by a rad shed

to take a couple of photo's of the first longboard I completed.

One way to re use a 120 year old house...

Two shots of the rich wood used in a surfboard bench for Hamish.

Rimu, matai, tawa and kauri from a 120 year old house being renovated.

I'm looking forward to shaping it this week

Cruiser Deck

Ben won the raffle for Samoa.

We caught up with him last weekend and he decided on a retro cruiser skate deck.

Built from 100% recycled wood of course.

Just another lick of gloss to go...

Gold Fish

The gold fish is coming along nicely...

Just a few pin lines and a gloss coat to go.

Meet Betty...

Meet Betty the Bedford, born late in 68!

Pug nose, green paint...51Bhp...

sliding doors...

and so much space for boards and hammocks...muy bueno!

Summer Special

For us there's no better advertising than a stoked surfer with a Deluxe Industries board under their arm. So we're running a mint spesh for summer. 50% OFF retail price... more cheap than a budgie. Get in quick before we run out of balsa...again. Applies to all boards including skatedecks.

Good Things Take Time...

I recently got hold of some agave seeds with the aim of growing plants and harvesting the flower stem for a surfboard or two. Advice from the packet said they should flower in between 5 and 25 years from now...don't hold your breath for this one, but it'll be sweet satisfaction when this board gets built!
