Bumper 2 Bumper

An Interview with Rusty

We received an email a few weeks ago from Rusty, he has a Car Show on Channel 31 here in Melbourne called Bumper 2 Bumper. He travels the country side interviewing car enthusiasts about their passion for their cars.

He is restoring a 70's Holden Sandman Panel Van as a show car and wanted a 70's Retro Surfboard to display with his car.
So we set about making him a 6'1" Retro Single Fin. 
The show will go to air in July.

Rodney Wins Silver in Games

Rodney Gets Silver Medal on Wooden Retro Pig

Rodney attended one of our Workshops and built a Retro Pig. He sent us this email after his win.

You may be pleased to hear that I received a Silver Medal in the 50-59 Longboard competition for team VicSES at the Australasian Police and Emergency Services Games on my woody.  Go Retro Pig. 

The surfing competition was held at Surfies Point, Phillip Island where everyone enjoyed 3 days of spirited competition.  It was great to surf with new faces and old friends with visitors from NSW, ACT and NZ clashing with the Vico's. 

Conditions were pretty good with the local Phillip Island Surfriders Club running the event and doing the judging.  The finals however on the last day had to contend with a 2 metre swell and 40 knot onshore winds.
