Rodney Wins Silver in Games

Rodney Gets Silver Medal on Wooden Retro Pig

Rodney attended one of our Workshops and built a Retro Pig. He sent us this email after his win.



You may be pleased to hear that I received a Silver Medal in the 50-59 Longboard competition for team VicSES at the Australasian Police and Emergency Services Games on my woody.  Go Retro Pig. 


The surfing competition was held at Surfies Point, Phillip Island where everyone enjoyed 3 days of spirited competition.  It was great to surf with new faces and old friends with visitors from NSW, ACT and NZ clashing with the Vico's. 
Conditions were pretty good with the local Phillip Island Surfriders Club running the event and doing the judging.  The finals however on the last day had to contend with a 2 metre swell and 40 knot onshore winds. 

Regards
Rodney Hose (2014 SES Surfing Champion)

Well Done Rodney

Oskar's New Board

Oskar attended the Febuary Workshop and built a 6'4'' Striper he sent us through a picture of his finished board and it looks great!!
It's stained with a maple wood stain and sealed with a marine grade gloss varnish.

Finally done the baby girl.
Plans changed along the way, but I think for the better.

Cheers again guys.

March Workshop

Another eight Hand Made Wooden Surfboards built on the March Workshop. 
The Splinter range is proving to be very popular with both the 9'1'' and 7'6'' boards being built in most Workshops.
