guest legend

bob brown has been around the surf scene longer than most in the area

known as "blonde" bobby brown; he shaped from the mid 60's for Gordon & Smith down the south side of Sydney, and was mates with many a legend of the time, including the late bobby brown.

bob has many a great tale to tell and recalls some great moments that help to keep the history and memories alive

we are lucky to have bob along for "the Surf TRIP", with a display of some of his old and current boards. 

here's a couple of shots i took last week in his shop, love the range, singles, thruster guns, to classic longboards...gotta get me a longboard sometime soon!!

this is a sweet 1970 shaped Brownie single fin

hard down rails were in the moment, as were greenough style fins

I love seeing where our boards came from and how they have developed...

it really helps me understand what i'm looking for in a board now. 

i get heaps of pleasure grabbing a range of boards too suit what the waves and conditions demand..keeps it interesting and fluid 

bob's really into stand up paddling these days too, as well as shaping any form of board you can imagine, from classic log's to single fins and twinnies. all made to old school standards, with great glass jobs and classic decals.

 images of a board we got brownie to make for a mate's wedding present from his wife

7'0" single fin with a Martin Worthington epic mural spray 

he loves it - surfed it in indo straight away!!

check out the wave - feels like it's coming towards you!!

bunch of fine boards

5'7" to 6'6" - all in really good nick

Really clean Dahlberg pintail in very good cond

6'6" x 18 5/8" x 2 7/16" - hardly used

Formula Energy swallow tail - also in great condition

6'2 x 191/4" x 25/8" - HOY HACK model

I had one that was Hoy's own boards that this was based on - they are rockets!!

Two little small wave weapons

Jim Banks 6'0" x 191/4" x 2 1/4" super light fun board

Banksy is the Indo legend, ex pro surfer during the 70's and 80's who is underground largely these days, hard to get a board from him at the best of times.

Webber - shaped by Greg himself, 5'7" x 19 1/2" x 2 7/16" Mini CD model

super fun board - just too small for me by a little bit 

I'm also bringing along a bunch of vintage boards and gear
