Magic Mushroom – Aloha Surfboards

Magic Mushroom by Aloha Surfboards was the surfboard of choice just over one year ago.
Stevo chose this board as part of his quiver primarily because this board got a good review, and it would suit a surfing trip to the Maldives to film at the Four Seasons Maldives Champions Trophy at the end of August beginning Sept.

Magic Mushroom
Stevo from Sunnycoast Klips talks about his choice of the Magic Mushroom, “It’s a tad wider than a basic short board, that allows you to shorten your turn, surf tight, smack it round, and lets you generate speed on demand what you might need in nearly all surfing conditions”.
“This Magic Mushroom little board has seen the test of time and has with stood the vigorous use it gets on a daily basis. The deck doesn’t look like some other boards that get a real pasting after one days use. This Mushie is in real new condition, and I attribute that to it’s great glass job” said Stevo.

Jamie willems of Global Surf Industry says:-
“The extra width through the centre profile, and bottom contours are similar to that of a high performance short board. The hip positioned just forward of the fins, reduces the tail width to maintain the rail-to-rail sensitivity and response, of a much narrower board”.

Magic Mushroom – Construction

Available in SLX Epoxy with Bi-Axial layered up glass construction, is essentially two separate layers of flat fibers woven together. The faint lines you see running from nose-to-tail on the decks of the boards is the stitching that holds these two layers together. The fibers in Biaxial Fiberglass are oriented at 45 degrees, compared to traditional fiberglass weave that’s oriented at 90 degrees”.
Questions, more questions.
Evert from Surf-Shop Peregian asks “What are the advantages if using Biaxial Fiberglass”?
Jamie Willems says, “The increased surface area of the flat fibers in Biaxial Fiberglass gives a stronger deck, and less chance of de-lamination from foot pressure. Round fiber glass can’t match flat fiber glass adhesion”.
Mushy Toughie
There for, it goes without saying that the Magic Mushroom by Aloha Surfboards GSI, is one tough little Mushy, ideal for anyone looking to maximize their performance and enjoyment as the photos of Stevo having fun depict.
You can surf the Magic Mushroom a few inches shorter than your regular short board, but hey, flotation is everything in catching more waves.

Hypto Crypto HaydenShapes
Hypto Krypto from the HaydenShapes range by Global Surf Industries is definetly is the most versatile board in the Crib.

For starters it paddles like a dream because of the volume, and the flatter rocker enables you to draw fast flowing lines at speed.
The old school style rounded pin tail will give you plenty of hold and draws tighter arcs in the pocket even in the bigger stuff, and provide a lot of curve around the back foot, and with the wider straighter outline forward on the board, gives you speed down the line. Yeeeeewwwwww!

Haydenshapes Hypto Krypto
LENGTH WIDTH THICK VOLUME FINS APPROX WEIGHT RANGE
5’4” 19 1/2” 2 1/4” 27.08 ltr Future HSS 70kg / 154lb or less

haydenshapes hyptoKrypto 150x150 Hypto Crypto HaydenShapes

Although the rocker of the Hypto Krypto is relatively flat, Hayden has snuck in a little extra lift to add some curve up front, this helps late take offs, or turning in the steeper sections of the wave. The design of the rocker has been focused around speed, and more speed! “The Hypto” has never been shaped as a quad because it is too fast already, you’ll find yourself making sections down the line that you would never expect to make” says Jamie of Global Surf Industries.
Continuing…The foil has plenty of volume around the chest and center area of the board, yet it refines out to a thinner, more pinched rail to keep the board connected to the wave. The concave runs from a rolled vee in the entry, to a slight single transitioning into a vee double out the tail, which gives the board great speed and control from rail to rail.
Overall the Hypto Krypto is the one stop board that you can travel all around the world having fun in great to average conditions even in the barrel or open face when the swell pumps! What ever your game to do.

7S Superfish II – Forklift Damage

7S SUPERFISH II – Forklift Damage
Its great when you are made aware, why the delivery of boards you were expecting, wern’t going to come at all.
You see,… some one ran over them with a Fork Lift at the transport depot (won’t mention the company) and then simply put them in a corner and didn’t bother to really let any body know.
We were on to the supplier and unbeknown to them, all things were going well, should have been in transit “but its hectic and we really cant trace them because of the volume of stock flowing” I thought that’s what all the computer tracking was good for…apparently not.
Finally, the moment we got word, replacement boards are on the way, and our customers waiting for these will see that “..it” happens as the trailing photo will show.
Can these boards be fixed?
Some one could probably claim that, but what price to pay when you are dropping in on a four foot screamer, and on the turn, the front snaps up and knocks your teeth out, and the tail rips a hole in your but!
Thought I would just share this story, and like I said, the proof is in the pic.

Julian Wilson wins at Peniche Portugal

Julian Wilson wins at Peniche Portugal

6 Boards, 3 Fin Combos, 1 Victory for JW

Julian Wilson recently won his first WCT by defeating Gabriel Medina in the final of the Rip Curl Pro at Peniche in Portugal. FCS Fins played a pivotal role in bringing Julian a victory. Julian rode six different boards and 3 different fin setups on his way to victory.

Julian said, “Some heats were all about the barrel while others you had to attack the lip or go to the air. I rode 6 different boards throughout the event so of course I was changing my fins around as well. I was relieved after the event was wrapped”.

“Leading into the final day I was mostly riding the FCS MF-1. I can push that fin really hard, and at Peniche where the waves are steep and powerful you need to drive hard off your fins and weave through the barrel”.

“It was mostly barrels in the quarters so I set up my Merrick as a quad with the FCS JW-1 side fins and the FCS G-1000 centres in the back. The exits weren’t always clean and the quad produced a little extra speed and drive to bust through”.

Then in the semi and the final Julian switched to the new FCS MF-2. This medium size fin is a scaled down version of Mick Fanning’s popular signature MF-1 template.

Julian continues, “I jumped back on my Mayhem for the semi and the start of the final. The waves were changing from minute to minute and with the smaller MF-2 I knew I’d still have control in the pit, but I’d have enough tail release to mix up”.

“In the final I actually buckled my Mayhem so I had to ride my backup JS which had the MF-1 in it. That was actually a blessing because I had to fight through the barrel on my last wave and the bigger fin gave me a bit more control”.

When quizzed about his ability to ride different boards and fins from heat-to-heat Julian remarked, “If you’re constantly switching fins around it becomes even more important that you’re totally confident in your equipment, and I know I can always rely on my different FCS setups”.

The Rip Curl Pro in Portugal marked a solid result for the FCS Global Team with Julian, Gabriel and Adriano making up three of the final four surfers in the event.

WAVE POOL – Ipswich

WAVE POOL – Ipswich

WAVE POOL’s surfing is becoming more popular through out the world as major tourist attractions. They also attract serious surfers for a bit of R&R away from the surfing madding crowds.
WAVE POOL’s are these days big business. Not suprising then that one Company has the name of KELLY SLATER involved, and is sure to draw world wide attention, and deservedly so.
The City of Ipswich is locked in a race to get the first WAVE POOL for Surfing with of all places, the GOLD COAST.
Ipswich is 100km west of Brisbane and about that far from any Surfing beach you could name, but that’s the reason for it, to be first with a purpose built WAVE POOL for Surfing.
The project would be privately funded with backers already lining up to go, and that includes KELLY SLATER’s own company, the KS WAVE COMPANY.
“This could be reality within a couple of years as the technology and backing is there, but it is just about getting the details right” a spokes person for KS said.
World Patents
WAVE POOL’s already exist in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia all generating set after set of seriously good waves for experienced Surfers chasing that ultimate wave these pools provide.
Councillor Pisasale Mayor of Ipswich Shire said “Ipswich had a compelling case for wave pool attraction. Ipshwich would be perfect as we have the climate, we’re close to the State Capital and a fantastic tourist attraction for Ipswich”.
IPSWICH the new DUBAI of the west!

The Goldie already has surf and tourist attractions so it makes good economic sense to go west and locate at Ipswich. Just far enough away from the coast but share a part of the reportedly $3 billion the coast generates in the surfing industry.
Ipswich would be the inland Surfing success and would totally soak it up.
May-be the Sunshine Coast could host a Wave Pool instead of the Goldie!
Yeeeeewwww! IPSWICH,… go get it!
Put in a bid Sunshine Coast!

The SEAGLASS PROJECT – Albacore
The SEAGLASS PROJECT Albacore is the simplest finless board in the world. It makes the thrill of finless surfing fun, easy, and user friendly. The Albacore surfs much like a thin wood Alaia because of it’s flex, yet it is soft and user friendly. The EPS core delivers this tremendous flex, and this makes for surprising control and maneuverability. It takes the joy of finless surfing out of the advanced surfer’s world and into the realm of the beginner to intermediate surfer.

The Albacore is tough and safe board. It can withstand rough treatment and needs no wax or fins. It can be ridden standing or lying down like a boogie board, and in any wave conditions.. It brings a new spark to surfing.
With so much versatility on offer the Albacore is hard to beat as the most promising all-round fun surfboard with a capital “F.” A board for any surfer, at any stage of their surfing.
