Just spent some time with a local shaper today talking about boards in general. We then got onto old boards, as he had a few round the factory. I love my old single fin Cordingley, although I've never ridden it. I'm looking into the possibility of having it copied using todays materials, as I don't want to damage this board. It was made between 74-77 a Greg Lawrenson beauty and it's older than me.
I considered a treehouse stand up paddle board - they look beautiful, but I settled for a Stonker made closer to where I live in Torquay. You got to love the natural wood finish.
Oliver the boy's are going to kill you posting pic's of a SUP on there site,good luck buddy!

PS,nice board!
I was down in Yallingup on the weekend and caught the Yalls Malls comp & they had a SUP comp on, thrilling then went and surfed awsome Lefties with a mate, best ever!! Not on a sup!!!
Its ok 62 we are all friends here just dont get in the way OLi
Just confirmed my order & paid deposit for a Treehouse single fin 6,3 x 19 1/2 x 2 1/2 fin box with red rails & black pin. I cant wait!!!
Keep forgeting that you are armless atm, full carbon fiber mite be too stiff for surf.
Carbon ontop with glass on the bottom?

Doggie,
Yeah I think it had green rails. Pics are still being extracted from old-school 35mm film...
Here are a couple of picks of the finished boards and proud owner.
This is a mal with artwork to match a tattoo.
A copy of a Brazilian board that was falling apart under the owners feet.
Oh and a 10'3" SUP.
Hey Doggie,
Here's Dave riding one of his boards in MR.
Turns out I don't have a pic of him on his single, this is him trying out Jemma's brand new 7 foot quad egg.
When is yours due?
Cheers for the pick Porka, I didnt end up going through with it as i lost my job just b4 xmas and had to save the money unfortunatly. But the news is good Ive just scored a new job with good money so it may be on the cards soon with a bit of luck!!
