82-1-1 Greenough Experimental
This board was made as an experimental model for Patagonia. George Greenough and Wayne Lynch collaboration. It’s an ugly looking thing, but we said that about the Fantastic Plastic Machine. From a reliable source it went really well down the line but didn’t cutback as well as some? Far be it from me to judge […]
Fat Penguin
This is such a radical step away from the average board and you may look at it and wonder, but from all accounts and some very prominent surfers that say the same thing. They work it’s just not for the mainstream everyday surfer as they an advanced piece of equipment. This link will give you […]
23-7-1 McTavish
This board is part of the SD collection, and is one of the first machine shaped boards made in Australia. Two were made but one was destroyed in Bali. The beginning of the end of hand shapes??

Some failed or were successful in only one aspect. EG. They were usually either great speed boards or great […]
27-1-1 Nirvana Bat Tail

106-1-1 MP Fangtail
This must be the holy grail of surfboards. Michael “MP” Petersons fangtail. If there is one person who epitomizes surfing it would have to be MP, thought to be standoffish and shunned the limelight, it was only after his win in the first Stubbies and eventual retirement fro surfing that people found out the truth. […]
202-1-1 Joe Larkin Flextail
This board is so far ahead of its time Joe must have been experimenting with everything to come up with this in the 60’s. Joe is often overlooked when the pioneers are mentioned but he was always at the forefront of design as this example shows, when others were only making standard design boards Joe […]
