I ended up surfing five rounds with the final of the over 60′s being the largest and most consistent of my sessions through the week. Some amazing surfing on the Old Mals and the noseriders blew everyone away. (see the video below).

As the sponsors motto says “Life is better when you Surf”

“Couldn’t believe how fast it was, fell off the back of the board on my first wave as it just scooted away.” said Jai. “So fast and maneuverable, I’m stoked.” 

A light concave vee throws it up onto the rail with ease then the twin concaves take over to give the squirt. A great board for flat and powerless waves. Available in all sizes. 

I’ve just completed the 5 week shaping workshop with Richard Harvey and now riding a new self shaped 9”1’ Mal. After completing the course you don’t just walk away with a self made surfboard but the knowledge to build any shape you want, Richard basically teaches you the formula to shape and design surf boards. I’d 100% recommend the workshop to anyone wanting to learn about shaping and board design, it makes shaping so much more fluid when you know the methods and process rather than just having a go without the knowledge. I look at boards in a new light now and it has also changed the way I surf depending on the board and knowing what it has been designed for. Riding a self made board brings even more to the surf session, cheers.

Maybe they will end up all in one panel.

I’ll play with  them a little more before deciding.

But I do like the feel good of these 8 small pieces.
