Duncan at Impossibles


Duncan, 49 y.o. from New Zealand sent us a shot firing down the line at Impossibles out on the Bukit in Bali last week.

"Had the thing wound up about as fast as it would go on my backhand during a session of 4-5ft perfection.

We got really consistent swell for three weeks. Pretty solid all the time so hardly had to surf the beach in town - just headed out to the reefs every day"

He is surfing on a 6'6"x21"x3" fish shaped by Peter Anderson. He worked with the shaper to modified the new board, bringing it in an inch, reducing the tail with the two wings and going to an EPS blank.

His board also have included a fifth fin option, so that it can be rided has a tri-fin with a smaller trailer fin. As per Duncan comments the board feels better under the feet and goes better in bigger waves.

mystery purple psychedelic



The good thing about this blog is that. We have the chance to know very nice people and exchange a few stoke emails with some of the followers.

Mitch had mentioned at some point that he grew up in Australia in relatively isolated Tasmania, started surfing at 12 in empty lineups on a mystery purple psychedelic reverse swallow twin with green glass fins and a diving wetsuit.

I have asked him to o dig up that photo and where he is in Tasmania circa 1983, 12 years old with his first fish surfboard. He have no clue about who made this purple board...please let us know if you suspect of anyone.
