Mike Doyle.....I first saw him, at the 1964 world surfing titles at Manly australia,I was 16 and to this day and as much as I thought Midget Farrelly, did win it ,the best surfer I saw out of all of them, then was Mike Doyle, great style ,savage cutbacks, yeh he was real good.

A batch of Ukulele Concerts from a couple of years ago with Cocobolo body and Mahogany tops,and the finished Uke

Father and son, The Conti's Nicaragua,and there wonderful work

1960s photos of Max Bowman and Robert Conneely at one of our local breaks Avoca Point, no leggies and lots of rocks waiting for their supper.

The paddleout for Midget was today13th August 2016, he made these in early 67 and they were such good surfable boards, and anyone who now rides one in the old log contests usually do really well

Midget Farrelly ,Australia's first world Surfing champion ,finally left the beach today 72 years of age....Aloha

My favourite alltime shot, the pure joy of surfing by Bob McTavish at Point Cartwright in his prime, he was and is a flashy surfer fun to work and surf with.

The one and only HERBIE

D fin 3 stringers and Bills beauitiful glassing

Father and son, Billy and Jimmy Mclean, glassing at Mctavish,a rare shot to have them side by side, this would annoy the crap out of all glassers, but because of circumstances they both adapted and got on with it.

And then the third day!

The next day!

Same swell again but up North

The East coast of NSW australia just copped and east coast Low that dumped a lot of rain but also threw up alovely E NE big Swell that did some damage ,with erosion but gave us some bloody good waves the next day, Wamberal Beach...

Paul made this for a customer in 1976, you couldn't get stringers like that unless you did them yourself, the owner walked in with it a few months ago and sold it to Paul what he paid for it brand new $150, it's in beautiful condition, a testament to how good Paul made his boards and always has, its 6'7"

Paul Joske"s 9 footer Gun for his Son Heath Joske. A liitle flyer pintail,orange tint all over,one inch stringer,all hand made by Paul with the usual exquisite craftsmanship and extensive big wave knowledge
