NO ONE goes left around here

a new model is born at the temple

while over in bali hanging and working at the temple a new little creation was born, with a bit more wave size and some all round versatility in mind the tugu is the result.  a smooth gradual rocker, a blended subtle nose concave, a ever so slight hint of roll to a soft panel vee in the tail, a 60/40 rail throughout means some hold and some turn this board was and is all about finding a balance.  a double ender of sorts this guy works in anything from knee high to double over head.

thanks to the deus temple for everything, bali for the waves, harry for some inspo. now its time to make me one of these for home.

Banging in Balangan

Back to the old grind as of tomorrow. Had an incredibly frothed out time in Bali with a bunch friends, new and old. And dayz of waves, feeling rejuvenated after trrrroppical times! Horay!!

Talk talk rendezvous'

Back home catching up with the surfersgarden collective. And Stuthy's been shredding the bays

my man husni

 was lucky enough to get the chance to make a couple of boards for this guy while we were in bali, arguably Indonesia's best logger, deus have just picked him up as there new team rider and enlisted us to build him a couple of longboards, one hell of a good surfer with smooth as style and steez to boot.  thanks for the connection go to the temple crew and anthony 'grasshopper' dodd for the photos stolen from the temple blog.
