The Tree to Sea Australia Short Film

Over the last few weeks we have been working on a short film. Dave Macintosh from Rye attended one of our Workshops early last year and offered to create the film for us. Dave operates the Media Company HM Creative he won first prise for his short film Toast, in the Mornington Peninsula Short Film Festival.  http://www.peninsulashortfilmfestival.com.au/ 

Below are a few still shots from filming so far.

My New Board

I have finally got around to making myself a new board. Its a new model for our line up, so before we offer it up as a design for Workshop participants to build, we need to be 100% confident that we have all the bugs ironed and its a proven design.
It's a 7'2" Pintail single fin, with a Retro outline but with modern rails. Its always a challenge when your working on a new design, each board has its own complexities. 
Really happy how its turned out.

Rodney's New Shaping Stands

Rodney sent us this email about his shaping stands he has made.

Rob

Attached is the plan, materials and method for the Surfboard Shaping Stand I designed and built.  Feel free to distribute it to any of your woodies who might want to make one.  It is soo much easier than working off stools or benches to finish your board.  Cost about $60 worth of timber plus some fasteners and some rubber. 

Aloha
