death wish

Local surfer Doug Pearson took his circa 1960-65 Altas Woods out for a spin at Sandy Bay yesterday, a very challenging board to ride with a large Hatchet Fin, he nailed a number of waves but reckons to ride it you must have a bit of a 'Death Wish', he wants to really master the board, nice work mate, Mike C.

When you have a board you love and just want it to last forever you could consider getting a copy of it and even give it a modern tweak or two, Gaffa has had his 8'0'' Atlas Woods singlefin forever and it has been thru the wars but now it is time for it's semi-retirement, Gaffa has gone to his local shaper Roger Hall to discuss a potential replacement, two parties brought together through The Cove Fish Fry, nice work team, Mike C.

50 years on

Our good friend Moonbob scored himself a mint 50 year old Del Master Phase 1 shaped by Don Wilson (NZ), he had a blast at Sandy Bay yesterday, very interesting board, great to see it have another lease of life, Mike C.
