Tiki SeaSnakes all handmade custom surfboards and fins

By the end of the 60s boards had gone through an explosive time in design ,the mainstay was " V " bottoms that was the leftover from Greenough and Mctavish, but there was a group of guys ,mainly Glenn Ritchie , David Chidgy Ted Spencer, Richard Harvey and the  then Young Mitchel Raye who were delving into concave bottoms with wondorous results. The combination of concave bottom,bottom curve and tail lift and deck curve created a very fast and exciting board, but no one else really played around with them except a few other converts including me as I was working with this crew at Peter Clarke surfboards at this time. After moving to the Central coast and making boards with Nigel Websdale we delved into our version of concave , with some success but then Nigel wanted to make really deep concaves and after I left and Moved to Byron Bay he influenced Ian Lindsay who was a talented surfer from Nth Avoca ,and a talented shaper the last board he made before his motorbike accident is what you see here he lost the use of his legs but his skills and talents are the same. Glenn and Mitchel continued constantly making super sleek and functional boards and today they are the reason why most boards that you ride today are concave of some sort, and including your rails and edges and fully foiled fins, it didn't just happen it was a long hard working trial and error process completely made by hand no computer to copy someones work no machine to pop them out .
