NOOSA ’11-Festival of Surfing

Feb-24-2011 By Birdie the Boardie

NOOSA ’11-Festival of Surfing

As the saying goes, another year of “Pure Stoke,” In fact, this is the “20th Year of Pure Stoke” presented by Global Surf Industries and hosted by the Noosa Malibu Club.

What makes this event the most special in the world calendar of surfing, is that it has more than 800 competitors spread over Pro, Specialty, and Amateur categories, with an age demographic of 10 to 80 years old. Far different to 20 years ago, with about 100 Amateur’s or so competing in only a few categories, and today pushing for first spot in 23 divisions.

Noosa Festival organisers have not left out some Big Names that will feature in the South Pacific Resort Corporate Cup event. Celebrity surfers appearing at this time are; Mark Richards, Tom Carroll, Rabbit Bartholomew, Peter Townend, with Reno Abellira the Hawaiian big wave master, and Longboard world champions, local Josh Constable, Harley Ingleby, Wayne Lynch and the inimitable Bob McTavish. The idea this year is to hang out with your surfing heroes, have a great time and give much needed support to the Premier’s Flood Appeal.

The local Noosa Journal has got together with the Festival in the organisation of the Surfboard and Memorabilia Auction at the Festival Village in the Noosa Woods. This year auction curator Darryl Homan has positively milked the globe to bring the very best to noosa. A couple of boards of note are a ’67 Dewey Webber Feather model original pintail longboard with a Waveset fin, and a Rennie Yater 8’3″ transition gun in immaculate condition. hmmm! The auction kicks off on Thursday March 17 at 7pm prompt.
NOOSA 11 Festival of Surfing

This event will span nine days with lots of entertainment on the beach and in Restaurants, Hotels, Cafes and advertised venues. The organisers have borne the weather in mind and this year have moved the entertainment venue from the Lions Park to the Noosa Woods, at the end of Hastings Street.

Should conditions at the 1st Point be unfavorable for surfing, the event will move to the secondary location at about Gate 12, through the end of Hastings Street to the Woods at Noosa West. The event is walking friendly, so park your cars a short distance away from the beach, using all day zones to avoid the Council Inspectors.

This event, the Global Surf Industries, NOOSA’11 Festival of surfing would not be without the host organisation Noosa Malibu Club and members, the fabulous team of volunteers including Sunshine Coast Tafe Students of Events, and major media sponsors Noosa Journal, Zinc 96.1FM, and Coastwatch getting the information out there.

BEAN Surfing Lately?

Jan-11-2011 By Birdie the Boardie

BEAN Surfing Lately?

“Board Meeting”

Back at the Kawana beach break not long ago, where the “Board Meeting” Charity Surf Meet was recently held, a little known Surfboard model known as the BEAN was bean’ surfed by any one that wanted to give it a go, a sort of a Demo board if you like. Well this board, or BEAN as the model is known as, is an Aloha BEAN and manufactured by Global Surf Industries. Not just an ordinary Aloha Bean, not necessarily saying that any Bean is ordinary, they are all great boards for a variety of surf conditions, but this BEAN i’m going to rave about is the New Carbon Railed Epoxy Lightweight SLXC and is Stringerless! Meaning this BEAN just got better!

BEAN Surfing Lately?

This model is more commonly referred to as a Pod, as it is essentially a hybrid model, but still considered high performance suiting  small to medium surf, and a ripper of a fun board in the shore break. This BEAN SLXC has a slightly fuller nose for flotation for paddling and start up acceleration. The relaxed entry rocker maintains speed and glide and a slight single to double concave with a tail run out v, delivers response and bite, where it’s needed for smooth rail to rail changes. The tail rocker and sharp rails complete the design, and you can surf it right in the pocket.

Getting back to the “Board Meeting” held at Kawana and the caning this BEAN SLXClogo aloha A jpg1 150x150 BEAN Surfing Lately? got on the day. Various guys had a go at it but the stand out was this surfer I’ll call “Mean”, because what he did to the bean in the some times overhead shitty shore break at Kawana was absolutely “Mean” He ripped the hell out of the head high dumpers with reo’s, snaps, and aggressive turns driving off the bottom hitting the lip and taking the big reo, oh yeah! so what you say!, all this on a little 5’9″ Bean SLXC.  This “Mean” guy was a whopping big guy weighing in at least 90 kg plus, on a board that suited max 75kg. NOT a STRESS Mark in sight upon inspection afterward s! Construction is everything!
BEAN Surfing Lately?

Construction Is Everything

The BEAN SLXC construction further enhances to versatility of this BEAN. The stringer has been tossed out for a perimeter biaxial carbon rail system and a biaxial epoxy deck lay up over EPS core. No stringer allows the board a bit of flex to fit the contours of the wave more naturally through turns, and the biaxial glass and outer carbon rail produces that ‘snap back’ feel for amazing response. Not to put a finer point on its fin systems, you can fit it as a Quad or Thruster configuration, to further enhance your surfing freedom.

The SEAGLASS PROJECT TUNA

Sep-4-2010 By Birdie the Boardie

logo seaglassProd1 The SEAGLASS PROJECT TUNA

Se It Believe It

The Seagrass Project Tuna

The next frontier in board performance top surfers, designers and shapers alike are at one agreed, that it will be “Flex”. Boards that are carbon railed, parabolic, and boards that are stringer less offer this Flex. But wait…

Flex is some thing surfers are still getting their head around, but there is one guy on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland that has it nutted out, and he is way ahead in understanding Flex in surfboard design. That bloke is Tom Wegener who has an understanding of modern material theory, combined with ancient knowledge and heaps of experimentation, and with the help of his formidable team of forward thinking surfers, brings us the Seaglass Project Tuna!

These new Seaglass Project Tuna design boards are similar to the Alaia models that top surfers have been having fun with over recent years. The new models are called “Tuna” and “Mini Tuna’ and like the timber Alaia have no fins. Tom Wegener says, “they are a perfect blend of proper flex, rail and bottom contours”. The Tunas are constructed of modern materials for better floatation and with the combined effect of a flat rocker profile, gentle curves, and hard rails that grip the board into the waves like no other, with exhilarating speed on any wave.

You may start to see surfing in a different light with this board in your quiver. The Seaglass Project will broaden your horizons, and open your mind to a new way of surfing.

Surf-Shop at Peregian will have two Seaglass Project Surfboards for your perusal and purchase.For more images and news items on the release of the Seaglass Project you can click here to go to Global Surf Industries Products and Information are also available at Surf-Shop and you can also PHONE US AT, 07 54713489

WHAT MAKES FISH SURFBOARDS RIP?

May-13-2010 By Birdie the Boardie

homePage header 101 300x148 WHAT MAKES FISH SURFBOARDS RIP?

Why Do Fish Surfboards Rip?

WHAT MAKES FISH SURFBOARDS RIP?

Global Surfboard manufacturing companies work hard to identify and categorise the models they make, and one surfboard model of note is the 7S Super Fish Surfboard range.

FISH SURFBOARDS.

Fish Surfboards have become a world phenomenon in popularity not only for accomplished surfers but also those who want to lift their level to a higher point, and when only a Fish will do that job.

Basic Fish Model

The basic Fish model shape shows a more hippier characteristic feature over it’s counterpart, the modern day Thruster . This Hippier shape if you will, is what gives it the term Fish, and along with that shape is given a generous amount of floatation, and it is inherently wider, and also made thicker than a Thruster style surfboard.

Super Fish XL

This extra size has opened up a new world of surfing for the bigger surfer as well, when floatation then becomes a lesser problem and Fish boards can be set up as twins or quads can handle a variety of wave size being bumpy or smooth, and in the hands of an expert. even quick suckey waves.

One Fish surfboard is at the fore front of the Fish surfing world, and is is the model known as 7S Super Fish, and a model for thebig blokes the 7S Super Fish XL.

So what makes fish surfboards rip?7S is available in all sizes at our Peregian Beach Sunshine Coast Surf Shop and their construction is regular polyurethane fiber glass, and also the acclaimed Epoxy finished models, that are super lightweight, and very durable,

7S SECRETS

The 7S secrets are that this style of board has the “step deck design”, which gives this Fish design model and that also gives them a high buoyancy advantage, but this factor doesn’t interfere with the inbuilt high performance rail design. To add insult to injury it doesn’t stop there, when the bottom of the board features low entry rocker that flows into a full length concave, to help get the best out of full rail turns.

This 7s Super Fish board can help you make sections that you never have before, it is  as smooth as it is fast.

Manufacturing Features

The manufacture points to note is that they are glassed with 2 x 4 oz deck and 1 x 4 oz bottom with an extra 4oz patch around the fin area. The boards come in a silky smooth Gloss Polish finish in the Poly models, or Gloss Painted finish in the Epoxy models, and they all come standard with FCS M7 Quad Glassflex Series fins.

The Fish Range

The full model Fish Surfboards and the 7S range, can be seen at the “Surf- Shop” David Low Way, Peregian Beach on the Sunshine Coast, or just follow the links to “Dealers”, on Global Surf Industries web site to view more of the 7S Surfboards, and click on “Surf-Shop” Peregian Beach as your preferred supplier.

Surfing Etiquette and Soft Surfboards

Oct-6-2009 By Birdie the Boardie

SURFING ETIQUETTE and SOFT SURFBOARDS

SURFING ETIQUETTE OUT THE WINDOW? : spinning boards any one?
This is purely the point of view of a fifty nine year old surfer that got smashed in the jaw by a Malibu Surfboard, way back when loose spinning boards were a real danger. When Soft-Surfboardssoft-surfboards were just plain Koolite chest boards that rubbed the skin off your stomach……remember?
Back then Leggies (leg rope, or leash) weren’t around, and we did our best to self preserve, but sadly today there seems to be a misplaced few, who are of the opinion that a Leggie is too restricting in todays surfing climate.
I am saddened to say that there is a culture of Malibu Surfers, who plainly aspire not to use a leg rope…This little snippet can be view in entirety by following one of the above links, and that will take you to all sorts of articles and Q and A on Soft-Surfboards. Soft-Surfboards can also be viewed on the Global Surf Industries article appearing in the GSI Surf Culture section of this site which also contains terrific information on the Surf Industry.Soft-Surfboards

Where Do You Get It?…Here!

They are all available online here for viewing and purchase through your friendly Surf-Shop at beautiful Peregian Beach on the Sunshine coast, and all you need to do is click on Global surf Industries for your favorite brand and it will link you to the Soft Surfboards or find your particular “Brand of Board”, then click “Find a Dealer” for the Sunshine Coast Area and select “Peregian Beach” as your preferred outlet and Start clicking:-

SOFT-SURFBOARD ADVENTURE
REMEMBER WHEN?
I was nine years old when I “borrowed” my brother’s 9ft, Malibu Surfboard. I might add he didn’t know at the time. This event started me off on an extraordinary adventure that has kept me young, and as I write, I’m sixtiy one years,… young.

Leading up to this day of “borrowing,” I was a junior Life Saver at Newport Beach where Tom Carroll cut his teeth. At that time the Surf Club had the pump up Surfo’s lying around for us to use. These were constructed of four joined rubber ribbed panels that were inflated, and about 5ft. long with two fins glued on to what was the bottom side at the narrow end, and a couple of grip handles were stuck on the other side at the front. I’m sure you all know what I’m describing. They might as well have been a rectangular floating block on water. These Surfo’s in their day were the first “Soft” thing we could use in the water, and not get hurt if we got hit, and I’ve got to say they were the best fun we had all day, every day, and yes, we could all stand up on these floating blocks. We were kids after all, and that’s what kids did. .

Now I did some damage to my brothers Surfboard on that day of “borrowing”. A shore dump took care of me at the Pinnacle down at the pool end of Newport Beach. Now “it,” being constructed of polyurethane with fibreglass and resin that you could say was the best in it’s day, but fair to say still can be brittle too, especially when it gets smashed into a rock the size of a car nose first, at speed. The result was a “ding” that shattered the nose, and costa-plenty to fix.
I can tell you now, when I got it home that Surfboard was mine!
It took me two years of pocket money to pay it off into, “a don’t do that again account.”
The end result was that I was still nine years old, but I owned my first Surfboard, and I recall it was a Dale 9’6″, well anyway, lots of getting dings, water logging, repairs all the good stuff, saw its way through to my fifteenth birthday and I traded her for another. Where is that old board now Darryl?

Where does a Soft-Surfboard come in?, you might ask. Well I can tell you this whole story might not have happened if they had these, because a Soft-Surfboard would, by the nature of the materials used in their construction, might have saved my bacon, may be not have “dinged” so much.
Would I change a thing? Heck no , I had a Dale that was too big, but it was mine, and my brother gave up surfing,…one less in the water. The episode cost me a lot, and family agro would have been spared back then.

Where would all this be if my brother had a Soft-Surfboard!aaaarrgh!soft surfboard
