Having handshaped a load of Pu boards the old fashion way .These two handshapes stick out after going through some old pics.
The gun 9.1
Handshaped for a surfer and musician Taane from down South .Unfortunately not on earth any longer .Was a honour to shape it and see it surfed in size .Such a good guy as well .
The pic of me holding the gun is from our old factory
Pretty funny ,we forgot to ask the landlord if it was ok to get the ding repair nurse mural sprayed on the wall ,his wife wasn't impressed when she drove passed .
The single/ handshaped it for indo years ago just for a fun board .Jimi sprayed it looked so sick and
went fun .Classic shape one of those ones I probably should of held onto.

What is Woolight you ask? Well in taking a new innovative direction in the quest for fully sustainable surfboards, Barron Surfboards have invented a new wool cloth sourced from New Zealand sheep. This sustainable cloth that replaces traditional fibreglass, provides strength and flex characteristics that we feel rival the status quo.
The result is a natural looking board that performs at least as well as traditional PU or Epoxy boards, is better for the environment and supports the New Zealand wool industry too, not baaaad huh!

Featured on TVNZ's show Seven Sharp, Paul Barron and Mark Price from Firewire Surfboards will give you an insight into what is a technological breakthrough for sustainable surfing.
NZ wool cloth, made with the help of NZ Merino, replaces traditional fibreglass cloth for a board that we think is better all round. This breakthrough doesn't need to be confined to just surfing either, the possibilities are endless, SUP's, building products and anything currently fibreglass could be replaced with sustainable Wool!
]]>“We recently did some little tweaks to Neck Beard 2 that we’re really excited about,” explain Britt. “Like making it single concave throughout, widening the tail a tad and doing a minor rocker adjustment. All in all, it just made an already epic board that much better.”
“First off, I just love the way the chop tail looks on the Neck Beard 2,” explains Stab High’s Highest Air winner Eithan. “But it isn’t just about the looks that make it rad. Its wider tail helps you go faster, land airs easier and it’s just so loose you can turn it wherever and whenever you want."

]]>If you want the perfect summer stoke stick, the Rocket Wide is the one for you! It’s a shorter, wider skate machine designed to lift the fun factor when the waves are not at their best, but it still rips when the waves are firing too!
The Rocket Wide features a wider tail block to skate across flat sections and a wider nose area to accommodate for better paddle power. Although designed by the Gudauskus brothers as a groveler, CI team riders like Timmy Curran reported that this new model does a lot more than it was initially designed for, making it a well rounded, go-to board in average to below average conditions.
Check out the video 'Project Wide' of the Gudauskas bros ripping in Mexico on the Rocket Wide.
So don’t let those small days get you down cause the Rocket Wide is ready for blast off!! To find out more about the Rocket Wide or order a Rocket Wide in FlexBar click here

]]>Western Australia's future face of surfing Jack Robinson won the World Surf League (WSL) Sunset Open, one of the highest quality and hotly contested Qualifying Series (QS) 1,000-rated events in the world.
Although this is Robinson's maiden QS win, the Australian already had plenty of competitive success on the North Shore, earning podium spots at Sunset Beach in 2016 and 2015 during the HIC Pro and a win at the 2014 Pro Junior.
Jack was granted a sponsor wildcard into the Sunset Open as a standout at this venue for two straight winters now. Today's victory rounds out his reputation, which also includes a remarkable win at the Pipe Invitational in 2015.
