By Feral Dave<br />
A diamond-tail single-fin with<br />
double concave into a vee to<br />
increase speed, and relatively flat<br />
rocker to pick up waves easily.<br />
SURFER COMMENT<br />
“This board goes mean. It’s fast,<br />
really fast, and so responsive.<br />
Goes really well in hollow waves.<br />
With all that foam in the nose, it<br />
paddles into waves really easily.”<br />
Simon Dickie<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
This gymmie was custom-shaped<br />
to fit feet of all shapes and sizes.<br />
The single fin combines old-style<br />
surfing with a flair for blowing up<br />
when you’re feeling adventurous.<br />
Retro-style single fin. First<br />
shaped in Dunedin by Carsey<br />
in the early ‘70s, this board has<br />
been modified to suit today’s<br />
surfing. It has a rolled bottom<br />
into a vee and, as with the old<br />
model, it has a flat rocker for<br />
easy paddling into waves.<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
I made this board for a mate<br />
so that he could recapture his<br />
youthful days as a soul surfer.<br />
Length: 6’-7’<br />

Thickness: 2 ¼” - 3”<br />
Single or double Flyers. Roll<br />

CONSTRUCTION X 1<br />
Made here in Ulladulla.<br />
Resin tints or paint. Choice of<br />
box or glass on fi n.<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
I have been working on these<br />
boards for a few years now.<br />
They look old and go new. You<br />
can ride them traditionally or<br />
as you like, your call!<br />
A 2+1 board that paddles like<br />
a longboard, rides like a short<br />
board. Refined rails and pin tail<br />
for you to keep pushing harder<br />
through each turn.<br />
CONSTRUCTION 2+1<br />
Burford’s PU, 6oz glass with<br />
custom resin tint and cut laps.<br />
Greenough single with side bites.<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
We wanted a board to surf the<br />
points when it’s too big for a<br />
log... What we got is a board<br />
that could almost replace<br />
everything for traditional or<br />
longboard riders.<br />
