Celebrating the first recorded photographs of surfing in Australia in 1909 at Main Beach Yamba..
We were invited to be part of the celebrations & setup a staff to display our wares. heres a couple shots of the setup & an early morning surf check at Angourie Point.. unfortunatly a little small, too close to rock salad for our liking. Isaac & I wet a couple lines without more than a few tails lost from our soft plastics.. we opted for a oyster breakfast! Isaac managed enough for a morning oyster milkshake...

Chile Diverse Surfing....

OK Guys his name is Cristian Lopez
Local form Arica Chile 18 years old
He likes Reggaeton,soccer and girls!!!
he surf since he was 14 years old.
When he hear that diverse surfboards arrive in the Arica he was working very hard to buy one also his parents help with a little bit of money.
Was one of his happy days ever, coz not everyday you hear that surfboards from Australia arrive in the small town of Arica.
He said when I step on my DIVERSE felt instantly the difference with all the other boards that I surf before,
He won A COUPLE OF COMPETITION WITH THAT BOARD AND NOW HE IS taking the surfing more seriously and hoping to advance more seats in the local and national tournament in Chile.
He already has one championship in the category junior in the Local ranking of Arica.
Very aggressive in his style and he like big waves too
soon we will receive photos of his last Tow in session in the big wave of EL BUEY as you can se a very complete surfer. All new seeds from Arica Chile

Japan Fish Fry???? well boardshow really

The Japan Fish fry is a boardshow of growing size.. no longer s it just for Fish Style surfboards.. anyones allowed even if its a cheap moulded board im told.. just go have fun in the surf...

The smallest board cut on an APS3000?

Well you may have seen my pics from Singapore & the Sentosa Wavehouse Flowrider in January. i have been busy working on some prototypes for thier new barrelling wave. here is a pic of one i cut on my APS3000 shaping machine.. it is 3'4" x 12" x 3/4"= 5 litres! They have no fins and rely on the edge like a snowboard. Once there is a few glassed i will put some more pics up before testing them all out in may! I am making them with a few different construction methods. this one will be glassed with Innegra (Ghost Carbon), a new tech fiber that i have been trialling with my Team boards. i am also making some with layers of wood in a press like the old style way of making skateboards, then cutting channels in them etc with a cnc. i like my tech ways of making things, the challenges of doing these kind of projects help me learn stuff that i can put back into everyday boards to make them better too!

Hey everyone,
 
Here are pics that Angie got on her camera from our recent Papua New Guinea trip for Virgin Blue.  Hopefully there will be a story in the next ASL mag that is due out soon also.  And there will be whole section in the ASL DVD attached to the issue after the next one that comes out, that was shot mostly by Shieldsy and I entirely on my new video camera I invested in.
 
Dru.

I believe surfing is for fun... If your not having fun, its time we did something about it together!

Surf check and update from Japan

Small Waves today.. Daisuke made the most of the Magic Mullets Small wave abilitys. With 5mm wetsuits and very powerless waves, it really takes patience & the right tools to get a fun surf session in!
