These miniature McTavish Surfboards were sent over to us this week all the way from Japan. They're hand-made by Hatsushi Yamanaka, who has made over 500 mini surfboards since he started the hobby in 1996. The detail is amazing and all of the materials used are the same as what we use on real boards, right down to the timber stringers, foam blanks and PU resin. Check out more of his work here.

The Bluebird is just 230mm long, and the longboard is 255mm
This week we had this special board come into stock - its a 10'1" NEO and features a printed fabric deck patch designed by Valori Wells from Sisters, Oregon in the US of A. The print is pretty striking and looks great against the red pigment bottom and rails, and the volan deck. Its all set off with a brown pinline.

This beauty is a full carbon fibre G2 with a timber veneer insert for the logo - a work of art and credit to the skills of the factory team.

Now ready to slide - this Fat bugger. Should be interesting.

Mick Wills - father of former world number three Danny Wills is one hot surfer. Here he is in our factory collecting his new Carver quad. His other board is a sweetly complementary semi gun. Both feature red with sparkle added to the finish coat. Bodgie!

For the past few weeks I've been working on a stand-up Spoon concept Flex-tail. Something that flexes and winds up like a Spoon, but you can stand up on it and paddle it in with ease. Heres a few progress shots, its got a groovy swirl on the bottom too!!

Greg Bennett emailed us this week to say they'd acquired an old Dave Simons team board as a trade in. Its a ripper at 9’1” x 22" x 2 5/8” with triple stringers and a pulled in pintail - ideal for a performance surfer looking for something for solid days. Its for sale down at Bennetts at Brookvale for $825 so get down there for a look if you're in Sydney, or email Andrew or Greg on sales@bennettsurfboards.com if you're keen.

These shots surfaced last week and are from Noosa surfer/photographer Dane Peterson, love the classic look of the first one - banking hard off the bottom.
