This inspired us to make a few pieces of surf shack homewares to celebrate our adopted home. California ‘old cool’ surf history pillow with the characters and breaks that made California the centre of the surfing universe for a time. From ‘The Dark Knight’ Miki Dora to ‘Smooth like a Panther’ David Nuuwiha and Pat’ KING’ Curran - this surf cabin pillow is packed solid with Californian surf icons and breaks.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Subscribers to Boardcollector can get 20% this limited edition hand embroidered pillow by entering the code BESTCOAST at check out <a href="https://alohatozen.com/collections/embroidered-pillows/products/best-coast-hand-embroidered-pillow"><b>here</b>.</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='596' height='495' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dww6zdGuj1P1xH8hFBtRYkWSM8fEoZPHnAsX4zst-MMD1u-O_vbLnazlA5_CjRqeY0WyBuPPHeSaI1KVsHdOQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #1f2021; font-family: Arapey, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span><p></p><p><img height="601" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0064/5237/9748/products/California_close1_1296x.jpg?v=1569381784" style="-webkit-user-select: none; cursor: zoom-in; display: block; margin: auto; text-align: center;" width="601" /></p>Boadcollectorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15473781096330782791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747709762620126283.post-7517167663364790142018-02-01T18:02:00.002+11:002018-02-01T18:02:30.681+11:005 of the Best Surfers Who Shape Their Own Surfboards.<h2 style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt;">Are you a surfer who is tired of being hounded by your mum or
partner about your ever-growing collection of surfboards cluttering the house,
garage or backyard shed? If so, a cool local event next month will give you the
chance to offload some of your ‘babies’ and leave you happy knowing they’re
going to a good home.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The first annual ‘Boardcollector Surf Swap Avalon Beach’ – staged
in conjunction with the Avalon Palm Beach Business Chamber – hits Dunbar Park
on Sunday April 9.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Organiser Damion Fuller says that like every good vintage surf
swap there will be </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "IÁE","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">pre</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">-1990 surfboards for sale and to swap. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“It will be a festival of surf culture involving vintage surfboard
collectors sharing their collections, local surfboard makers showing their
latest designs, local artists, craftsman, and businesses showing their
wares plus gourmet food and drinks stalls,” he said.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“The
best part of every surf swap is the chance to pick up a new vintage stick or
clean out the garage and turn the clutter into cash.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“So
far we have wooden tooth picks from the 1930s, Midget Farrelly’s personal
riders, Hawaiian big wave guns, ’70s single fins and twin fins right through to
’80s thrusters, quads and Lazor Zaps on display from collectors from Torquay to
the Sunshine Coast – with a month to go we’re calling for more folk from the
northern beaches to bring out their boards for display.”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Damion
said the surf swap would also <span style="color: black;">offer </span>free
vintage ‘Antiques Roadshow’ style surfboard appraisals by expert appraisers,
with owners encouraged to bring down their “mystery” surfboards which would
have their shape and design reviewed, plus the<span style="color: black;"> </span>board’s
history before a market value is calculated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
day will also highlight the best of today’s new surfboards and contemporary
shapers, with previous events featuring shapers and surfer such as Hayenshapes (with
Hayden Cox and Craig Anderson), DHD (with Asher</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Pacey), Channel Islands (with

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Also,
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">STAB Magazine</i> will be hosting a free
‘Filmlyfe’ Film festival on the green of the Avalon Bowling Club, screening
some rare gems from their rich archive and premiering exclusive Northern
Beaches content. The green will feature gourmet food stalls and will be

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“It will be a day of boards, bands, beers and burgers, kicking off

Damion said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 11.0pt;">More
than 50 stalls are available for businesses – including photographers, local
artists, local clothing and accessories, plus coffee, food, craft beer and wine
– to showcase their wares. Stalls (3 x 3 metres) cost $175 – or $150 if you are

<br />
When Stab and Electric disappeared into the dust of West Oz with Craig Anderson, Ozzie Wright, and six vintage twin-fin crafts, the curious atmospheric effects of dual rudders quickly materialised: Most notably, a touch of soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you feel it? That inescapable resurgence of the twin fin design? Right now, every notable shaper is doing an 80’s template single fly twin fin. Asher Pacey is ripping the Superbank on them, and even Mick Fanning is shaping his own. But, why now? And, do they even work?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If the single fly swallow tail twin fin is an idea from the early 80’s that’s worth reviving, then perhaps we’ve left other design concepts behind. Are there other design elements from that period worth revisiting? Like, channel bottoms, flex fins, or chimed rails?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The common belief is that twin fins are only for when it’s small, mushy and onshore, but four-time world champ (on a twin fin), Mark Richards, says in Simon Anderson’s Thrust that twin fins work best in hollower, more powerful conditions. Could this be true?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stab, Craig Anderson, Ozzie Wright and I grabbed six vintage twin fins from different shapers, from different places, all with different design features, and headed into the desert with host Ry Craike, to find some barrels and put the ideas to the test. Despite a swell prediction of eight-to-ten feet, Craig requested 5’7” to 5’10”s and Ozzie asked for 5’3” to 5’7”s…<br />
<br />
See what these boys could do on 40 year old surfboards in proper waves made the headache ache and pain of collecting for the past 2 decades all worthwhile.<br />

These photos are details of a stunning collaboration between Renny Yater and Californian artist Kevin Ancell. The illustrations are burned into an 11' 4" balsa blank that Yater describes as a 'stiletto gun'. The drawings, done with a soldering iron and water colour, tell the irreverent chronological story of the history of surfboard design, from the ancient Hawaiians to todays overcrowded line ups.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">I'm pleased to share with you pics from The Deus Surf Swap 10, featuring <i>‘Communing with Twin-Fins’</i> a surfboard exhibition presented by <a href="http://www.electriccalifornia.com/" target="_blank">Electric</a> showed and shined this past Sunday Oct 2</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; line-height: normal;"><sup>nd</sup></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"> at the Bondi Pavilion. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">The event showcased 100+ vintage surfboards with a focus on Twin-Fin’s from around the country, alongside some of Australia’s best, cutting edge surfboard shapers </span></span>who brought along their own contemporary version of the Twin-Fin design.<br />
Shapers present included<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"> Hayden Shapes, Channel Islands, Morning of the Earth, Misfits, Vampirate, Gary McNeil, Daniel’s, Dead Kooks and </span></span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit;">FinBox’s representation of Neil Purchase Jr. and Mick Mackie Twins.</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal; min-height: 29px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I idea of the twin fin theme was explore the current passion for modern twin fins and compare the old and the new and see if there were other design elements from the past that are worth re-visiting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14px;">Australian surfer Simon Anderson revolutionised surfboard design in the mid-1980s when he introduced the three-fin thurster. The style was unbeatable in terms of performance and functionality and its popularity soared, with variations on the triptych popping up in surf shops, and competitions, across the world.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14px;">But like all things, what is seen as innovative one day can all too quickly become the norm. And as the surfing industry began to chum out boards for the mass market, appreciation for innovative boards, like those from surfing's past, started to dwindle. That is, until now A new breed of vintage surfboard aficionados are connecting through cyberspace and sharing their love for a lost art. And an Australian dude called Damion Fuller is at the helm of the resurgence.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14px;"> "I think after '85 you had the birth of professionalism in surfing," says Damion in drawn-out Aussie tones. And from that point on surfers were just given free surfboards by companies and this need to innovate - for the surfer to feed straight back into the surfboard design - kind of immediately ceased. A lot of professional surfers today don't even know how surfboards are built. So for me 1975 to 1985 is a really lovely period. It's almost like when Picasso was first experimenting with sculpture, paint or cubism, pushing the envelope of the technique. From a surfing point of view there was a break [after that period] of the craftsman-designer surfer, the waterman, the poet-warrior.” </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14px;">Damion indulges his love of vintage surfboard design through a rotating collection of about one hundred and eighty boards, all of which he rides at some point. But after his wife got sick of him surf-waxing lyrical about twin fins and swallowtails he decided to start a blog, called Board Collector, and find some likeminded souls. "I just started putting my boards [online] and the spiderweb of people that I've met is amazing," says the Bondi Beach-local affectionately. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14px;">Inspired by the popularity of his blog, Damion decided to go one step further and set up a swap-meet where "music and art can mix with vintage and resin surfboards" in the car park of streetwear brand Deus Ex Machina, where he (used to) work as a fashion designer. He explains: "The swap-meets began as a way to pull together all the amazing people that I've met [through Board Collector]; from old hairy collectors with boards in their garages to designers who are interested in looming about the past. I wanted to pull all the people I've met in cyberspace into reality. And it's growing bigger and better every time." The events have been so successful, in fact, that Damion is transporting the idea to Perth and then Venice Beach, California. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: 14px;">But is there something of the Luddite spirit in Damion and his band of antiquation brothers who romanticise a by-gone era? "Definitely not," says the forty-year-old. "I am one of those people who hates the 'good old days mentality. When I collect boards, I am looking for unexplored innovations that were overlooked. For example, the board that I ride now - a 1978 sky twin fin shaped by Bob McTavish [a pioneering Australian shortboard shaper] - is the best board I've ever surfed . So I contacted Bob and his son told me that Kelly Slater is tiding a similar shaped board at Pipeline today... Which is nice for me because it proves I'm not crazy or trapped in a time warp. It proves that these things are worth revisiting... So no, this is not looking back This is looking for breakthroughs that were overlooked when boards became very standardised.” </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-size: 14px;">And it's not just the shape and functionality of the boards that's got Damion hooked "That [innovative] period of design was really graphically interesting with a lot of use of colour and fluoro. To me, these surfboards are wonderful pieces of applied art. They're handmade and they beautifully painted and yet they still have a wonderful function too." So what happened to those rainbow-coloured boards of yesteryear - and why do boards today seem so bland in comparison? "Ah, the lost art of the airbrush," sighs Damion. "It's not common anymore because it's expensive and that's really sad. I guess its like Macrame; one of those skills that was really popular fora period and then quickly dies out But it makes those boards even more attractive, more collectible for me.” </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 14px;">And with more projects in the pipeline, including a collaboration with the Australian National Maritime Museum, Damion is ensuring these beautiful design anomalies go down in surfboard history. </span></div>

I'm pleased to share with you today my late 70's Sky rounded pin tail twin fin shaped my Greg Melhuish in Byron Bay. I didn't find the board, the board found me. I was contacted by a lady from Angourie in northern new south wales who had a son who was tragically killed in a motor cycle accident in 1982 when he was in his early twenties. She had kept all his stuff in the garage until now and was looking for someone who would properly appreciate his board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Naturally I promised that I would.</div>

I took it for a run at Broken Head near Byron Bay. I felt privileged to take the board for its first surf in 34 + years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have ridden lots of twin fins, but nearly all of them have been single fly swallow tails.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was the first rounded pin tail and I could really feel the difference! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was a smoothness in the turns that was really noticable. I think I might be a convert to this elegant and simple tail shape.</div>

Greg is an accomplished surf from Cronulla who made a name for himself on the points and reefs of the Shire before relocating to Byron Bay in the late 70's. He made many boards under his own label before moving north and shaping for Sky.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was chatting with him and his partner, my good freind, John Moore and Outerknown Content Editor Zak Bush. It was suggested that it might be a nice idea to have Zak come over and have a look at my board collection and our little surf shack on the weekend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was stoked to be able to show Zak some of the Coal Coast and because it gave me a chance to pull out some of the boards from the collection from where they are stashed around the place.</div>

Moving outside of an urban environment can be tough when you’re constrained by the day to day routine of a 9-to-5. It’s families like Damion and Fern’s who appreciate having access to nature that make it happen. I trekked down from Sydney the other week to check out their pad, an A-framed tree house that’s practically bursting with creativity. Nestled in a grove of trees and backing onto an enormous national forest, these two and their son, Jake, seemingly have it made with a perfect blend of urban bustle and rural seclusion.</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "tg lt std bold"; font-size: 20px;">How did you guys end up living an hour outside of Sydney, next to Royal National Park?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'TG LT Std Light', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: center;">
Damion: We are very lucky to have had the opportunity to live in both Australia and the USA. Before we moved I used to complain about a lot of things in OZ, it took moving to California to open my eyes to the great things about Australia: the space, the light, the air, the clean water, empty beaches and an abundance of waves. As soon as we returned to Sydney I knew I didn’t want to be in Bondi anymore and we started looking around my favourite reef and point breaks on the south coast. We found ourselves a cedar A-frame cabin that was built as a writers retreat in what was once a coal miner village in the Royal National Park.</div>

DF: It certainly feels remote, which is really wonderful, especially on the weekends. In reality you can get a train from the station at the end of our street and be in the centre of Sydney in 50 minutes. The closest wave to our house is a reef break that’s a 15 minute hike down a cliff to the beach. When you’re out there in the ocean staring back at the rain forest you can be mistaken for thinking your many miles from civilization.</div>

<b>When did you start collecting surfboards?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DF: I didn’t decide to start collecting, but old surfboards started finding their way to my place about 20 years ago. The first ‘old’ board I bought was an old twin fin that was identical to the first board I had when I was 11 years old. When I saw it for sale in a junk shop I had such a rush of profound memories of the first waves I had on that board that I wondered if the board would ride as well as I remembered. From there I started wondering about the viability of the designs of other boards in the thrift stores that had drifted out of fashion and I started buying those too.</div>

<b>Why do you collect so many old boards?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DF: I like to think that my collection is actually pretty focused. I’m interested in a very particular period of surfboard design, from 1978 to 1983. Some people call this period the innovation period of surfboard design because before ‘78 surfers were mainly riding single fins and after ’83 most surfers were on thrusters. But there was this explosive period of design experimentation for a few years where many of the pro-surfers were also shapers. A good snapshot is the 1982 Stubbies contest at Burleigh Heads. The heats included Mark Richards on his own hand shaped twin fin design, Cheyne Horan (winning) on a Geoff McCoy Laser Zap design with Ben Lexan designed winged star fin, Rabbit Bartholomew on a channel bottom rounded pin tail Hot Stuff, Dane Kealoa on a no rocker T&C twin fin, Glen Winton sitting on the rocks with a piece of sandpaper adjusting the foil on his quad fin and Simon Anderson on his new 3 fin thruster design that would go on to dominate the sport. Never before or since has there been such a variety of cutting edge surfboard designs in one place. There are so many examples of design innovations from that period that I want to try I’ll probably end up with 500 boards!</div>

<b>What is Aloha to Zen and what inspired Fern to write it?</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DF: <a href="http://www.alohatozen.com.au/" target="_blank">‘Aloha to Zen – The art of Surfing and Living on Earth’</a> is a book that Fern wrote and illustrated as a love letter to me that documents and celebrates all the idiosyncrasies of surfing and surf culture. It may have been her way to purge all the information that I had been filling her up with over the years! It was a great project for her to get into while we were in Encinitas and exposed to the deep and rich surf culture that exists in parts of Southern California. It also explores some themes of permaculture and looking after our oceans and environment, powerful themes that are important to her that come from her youth spent on the north coast of New South Wales.</div>

Qantas still lets you bring one suitcase and one board bag for free.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the night before I get on the plane I look at Google maps to find out the names of the cities I've got to drive through from the airport to my destination.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I put those cities into Craigslist and those zip codes into eBay and sort by auctions ending within 24 hours before my arrival.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I'm lucky, a little gem like this will pop up.</div>

A 6'1" early 70's Wave Crest Hawaii stinger.</div>

The board looked strangely familiar to me, and not because I'd just found or sold 3 other Wave Crest Hawaii stingers in the past couple of months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then my new friend who owned the board reminded me that Tim Orr from Kona had shared pics of it on this blog a few years before prior to its restoration.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd never ridden a stinger before and I could never really get my head around the concept. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The design looked like it would be really stiff, but I knew this couldn't be the case cause I'd seen Buttons Kaluhiokalani (RIP) doing 360's on them in Many Classic Moments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The board paddles great, lots of volume up under the chest. It catches waves easy too, as you'd expect. But as you get to your feet and get to the bottom, everything changes. You go from riding the flat area at the front of the board then suddenly the tail bites and its all about the swallow tail. Because of the narrow tail, it goes rail to rail really easily, its actually quite loose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trouble comes, if your not used to it like me, if you go for a little head dip. I tried to pull in on few and i'd put my weight up on my front foot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The big fat soft rails up the front would not want to hold in like the tail and the board side slipped down the wave.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Latter I just stayed on the tail and successfully managed to get a couple of pits!</div>

This is the first vintage board I've ever seen with the dimensions written out in metric rather than imperial format. I've often thought it strange that surfboards are still measured in feet and inches, especially in Australia where we have been cleverly and effectively using the metric system since 1966.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find it stranger still the the US is still so dedicated to using the imperial system of measurements. A foot was originally set as a standard of measure based on the length of the King of England's actual smelly old foot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One would think the first thing the American's would change after going to all the trouble of winning a war of independence would be to stop using the King of England's body part in their everyday life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a side note, its interesting that even the English don't use this complicated and out dated system of measurement.</div>
