Quadzilla

Quadzilla

9'6 x 24 x 3, bat tail quad with a box for the option

tiki loaned me his board a couple of weeks ago, i have surfed it a couple of times,

it is the first quad over 6ft, that i have ridden, its real different from the log style that i usally ride, but its got me interested, i recommend that if you get a chance try one out, you never know it might just be perfect for you....

blue bucket

The Blue Bucket was My old friend ROY MEISELS' of Bare Nature surfboards Byron Bay Ford Commer , he had it for years and won many a carton of grog for continually getting it through Rego. A big 6 with a 3 speed gearbox and enough room to get a 10 footer in, on one of the windows there was a large sticker thet summed her up ,it said "SOUL".

norm

In

1963 I stood up on my first surfboard ,

I had been a

competitive swimmer when I lived out west but when i came across the Big wide ocean , no more 2 kilometre a day training for me ,I was hooked and the board that I surfed the most in those early years was a borrowed NORM CASEY or two ,off my friends. I hate to say it now but then I thought they were the best boards I had ever surfed , BUT , since I stated to try and surf this old NORM a few years ago my memories got shattered but, not too badly , the old girl does OK but when you want to drive her down the line she felt like she had brakes and would suck you back up into the tube and goodbye. The old were good then, but changes and design innovations, make you realise ,that what you thought was good then, ain't now, so , don't dwell on the past use what you know now for tomorrow there is always something new, something better, yet Norm was my youth Norm was me at 15........I LOVED YOU NORM!

Wanye's board

This is Wayne Lyndons' new 9'1" X22 3/4" that was finished last week, the first of the pintail, roundtail in a longboard that I've done for some time. Wayne was the number 1 Glasser at SHANES when I worked at Peter CLARKES in 69 and 70 and for him to glass 10 boards a day then (and they were all tape ups, tints and pigments) was the norm. I evenutally ended up working with him at McOYS on the Central Coast at Avoca in the 80s where I was the sander and fin man, as you can see we go back a long way . I shaped , and did the hand drawn decals and Wayne glassed and sanded it, at the moment I'm in the middle of making a Bamboo fin for the box, after he saw the ones I was making for other orders . She came out looking sweet, with nice curves that you seem to always get with pintails and the smile on Waynes face was the one when he first saw it after it was shaped
