Pink Bean

Here's the Pink Bean for Solace Store owner and Charlatan, Josh Gunthorpe. Just kidding mate! A great surfer, mate and talented swiller, Josh mans his store at Sunshine Beach and will sort all of your surfing needs. http://solacestore.blogspot.com

Tees , Graphics, Trunks, Rhythm

One thing I haven't had time to do is show all the great things happening at Rhythm. Been working on ranges with Jamahl , Jake and Nick for a couple of years now and churning out some quality garments. This one was a collab with the talented Nick Charmers , (check http://nicholaschalmers.blogspot.com/). He grabbed a crappy sketch I did and splashed it up with colour. Good fun.

The Amazing Harrison Roach

Heres some photos of Harrison, on Sweet Pea Quads , SQ Tail fishes, 2+1's etc doin' his thing.

...more Harry

Here's a 5'9 x 20 x 2 1/4 - 2+1 . Been shaping a bunch for him for a few years now. I am always blown out watching him, from hangin' 10 on a traditional Longboard, then he'll come in and ride a 6'1 thruster to slash and boost, then jump on a fish or 2+1 to glide and carve the @#$% out of it. Experience and style way beyond his years on this planet.

YOWZIN HOWZIN!

My good mate Blakey, editor of Surfing World, smilin' & stylin' on a stringerless single fin I made for him a while back.

2+1

SEA OF JOY

Came across this Wayne Lynch, circa late '69-70, I think.

5'10 x 21 x 2 7/8. Shaped by either Wayne or John Arnold.

Favourite surfer, Favourite era. Blew me away. A displacement entry > flat > vee > flat exit. Looked really rideable!

Got a template!

6'6 x 20 x 3 1/4

Here's the 6'6 x 20 x 3 1/4 single fin being ridden bareback on Melbourne Cup Day.

LONG WHITE CLOUDS

Actually more like long green walls. Just spent some quality surfing time with Johnny Abegg, Mic Waters & Dane Peterson. Finally on a trip with another goofy foot meant staying left of feild & being face to face with all the sea could give. Packed 4 obscure surf crafts and had an amazing time with the boys & thanks to Axxe wetsuits and Rhythm clothing for help. Heres some quick snapshots, footage on the way.

MID LENGTH

Had some fun on this one, a 7'6 x 22 1/2 x 2 3/4 for and with Lachlan Leckie. Hull > flat > vee

PINK QUARTET

This Quartet is 6'2 x 20 1/4 x 2 5/8, has a fuller outline and is flatter. Mowed from the same 6'9 Core "Fish" blank the Pink Lady is born from with same templates, just a round tail and more even thickness. Have been riding for the past 2 weeks and totally hooked.
