OILING THE TIMBER
After a summer of hard work, here's the first of the new timber boards mick and i have been working on to get oiled up. watch the board come to life...
TIMBER
Over the summer months i've gotten stuck into a handful of timber projects that i've been tinkering around with over the last year. With the help of my brother-in-law Mick, we finalized a couple of chambered Paulownia designs finished only with natural tung oil! A lot of blood sweat and tears went into whittling these sticks but totally worth it now we have them finished...
LOVE TIPH X
Lately here at Hightide surfboards we have been fortunate enough to get a helping hand on the design front from Tiphaine De Fleurette. Here's a few pieces she has been working on over summer, amazing!
FOAM SYMMETRY LAUNCH - DEC 2012
Scotty and I made our way up to the big smoke in early December to celebrate the launch of new surf mag foam symmetry. It was great to catch up with the Bevan boys and share a few waves and ciders to kick of the cool new mag!
ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER... - DECEMBER 2012
One of the first cabs in the rank when I got back in the swing of shaping was this beautiful custom noserider for Dean Darby and the first Hightide surfboard to hit the waters of W.A. hears a little flick dean put together of his new stick in action!
BACK.TO.WORK. - NOVEMBER 2011
Settling back into the shaping bay I took the opportunity to get my eye in on a couple of new designs i'd been thinking about over my time away. The end result was a 5ft twin fin fish and a 6’3’’ 90s style thruster short board. Not long after the two new sticks were cured the waves turned on providing the perfect platform for some testing.
