The Alley Wood Surfboard day






With a huge thanks to Grant Newby.
This was a great day on the sunny Gold Coast in August. At least a 100 boards and 20-30 builders attended with a constant crowd of interested lookers. The boards covered the whole spectrum of wood surfboards from Bill Wallace's 20 foot toothpick, to Roger Hall from NZ's beautiful multi-timber solid speed diallers, alaias, longboards, kneeboards, belly boards. Beautiful balsa single-fin guns from Dick Brewer and Richard Harvey. Builders came from the USA including Paul Jenson, Japan, New Zealand, and all over Australia.
Lots of information and pure stoke.
