MALCOLM CAMPBELL DATES- 20th-30th JUNE

I can now confirm that malcolm will be shaping at the OCEAN MAGIC factory from the 20th to the 30th of june this year.We always work on a first come first served basis so order A.S.A.P to avoid missing out !! thanks Guy.

Mr MARK FROST, PURE CLASS !!

Mark sent me these shots of him surfing his Russ Short Light Vehicle{see below} which i think are awesome! pure style and soul.Mark is a very big guy and a real gentleman and a self confessed BONZER junkie and a devout LED ZEPP fan which makes two of us,He loves this board and say's it gets better with every surf which makes me and MC happy!.

Marks RUSS SHORT Bonzer Light Vehicle 6'6'' x 21'' x 27/8''. Beautifull looking board and a Quality finish by the chaps @ OCEAN MAGIC.

The KAT and the DOG

Awesome today ! at the bay waves were indifferent but sun was out and Simon "THE KAT" Firley turns up!.those unfamiliar with the kat should know that he rips on any board with pure style and innovation,he is also a very gifted shaper with his K-BAY label.Simon has been dissolusioned with surfing and has'nt surfed for over a year,so he opens his account with a skeg first takeoff and styles it through the session then out for a kat-knap and off to the bench on his hand shaped fish for the evening.The mellowest guy in the water,surfing needs more karachters like "THE KAT"

NEARLY SUMMER FUN

The lineup at the pier not much to work with but everybody had fun and thats wot its all about?

GAZZA GREENWOOD

I love the way Gary surfs , i think he'd go good on a BONZER he's got a lovely style and certainly lashes out whenever he gets a chance makes the slop look phun!

FLEXTAIL HULLS OFF THE MENU !!

I've had about 6 enquiries for these awesome boards for the june shaping trip which we've had to decline. Malcolm is not up for making any more and that is that. So sorry to dissapoint those that have showed an interest. Only one of these boards has been ridden so far by my nephew OLI, which i saw and they seem to fly!,im waiting to get a go when my twisted ankle has healed and will give a full report asap.cheers guy.

40th ANNIVERSARY TOUR UK
