New for Akwa in beautiful Milton
Three boards for Christmas at Akwa in Milton. Stoked to have Kurt and Matt so excited about these boards. A 9'6" classic nose rider, 7'2" jellybean single fin and the 6'4" stripey quad fish. A big part of me hopes no one else loves them because I would love to keep them. But a good home while I spend 3 months on my wood cored skies in the Dolomites is a good thing for them. You can see the build process in earlier posts. If you want a full log of the build just shoot me a note.

A flex too far
The flextail fish had some pretty flexy fins with a large cutaway at their base as this pic from Paul Jenson shows. yeah well one flexed right off leaving me doing my best finless wood surfboard impression. Put some new ones on, moved them back a bit and also off the rail to get them more under my feet. Feels good.

South coast wood souls abound
Wood surfboards are rare, but Mollymook/Narrawallee must have more wood board makers per capita than anywhere else in the world. This is a great chance to see the fine work of some of my neighbours. This 9' longboard is by Dave Harrison. A few pics of its build with the last few showing his huon pine nose and tail blocks. The board is being glassed now and once the dust storm passes a launch is in order. But be warned these boards are time consuming and can become your mistress! Dave's lovely wife Kim has named the board Sally!!
