I was lucky enough to have a custom made free flight surfboard when I was a grommet,I didnt
realize until now that Marty was behind it,i still have fond memories of that board. thanks for sharing that clip.
Iaslo picked up a second hand Delta for a great price over 3 years ago and have to say it is an awesome board.
its just glass and foam with a nice thick stringer. it goes great in anything from Perth poop to margies magic.
Strong as.
Jump on one if you ever get the chance.

Rode some of Marty's boards back around 2000, and have noticed they have a loyal following by riders that know....
Last year bought a 5'8" Delta Vamp and talking to Marty about the challenge of kiting in waves, often decent size, due to where I live, and riding strapped. My world changed from the first ride of that Vamp with my name pencilled on the blank, so much so that I ordered another to have as a spare, I could not stand idea of being without one!
Nothing can replace that 40 yrs of passion and wisdom that flows through from the man into everyone of his boards!

Interesting Vid, Have a 5'11" Revamp and Amp, great boards.
Here is an old piece from back in the day when Marty was doing all of Norths Kite surfboards:

Still using my 2 x 6-2 strapped Delta kite boards that Marty made for a a few years back - still the best boards easy in solid winds and real waves - 1 board for 3 to 6ft solid down south and the other for 6ft plus Main break or Boat ramps
Both are still in perfect condition after being kited hard all over WA and in Indo in big waves - The Man

I got a custom off Marty a few years ago, can't kill the thing with a stick.

Especially like the way he does his fin boxes, I can ride the thing into sand (accidently) and never have a problem.

Thanks Marty!

Nice looking boards and a fine piece of seaside blues.
