And an interesting Q..
QUESTION:
When you think of the ‘shortboard revolution’ (of the late 1960s) which shapers and surfers instantly spring to your mind?
Midget Farrelly: As good as the vee bottom design was in small waves it was a disaster in overhead waves. The tail was meant to facilitate slide, which was great fun in small waves, but a nightmare in large waves. View any footage of the design (copies) being used in Hawaii and you will see the riders losing control as they attempt the turn. The design had a fairly short life as longer, streamlined shapes (Dick Brewer) proved more versatile in all waves. I only made one of these Vees and I rode it for five months or so before moving on to pintails. Whilst I may lay claim to an original, the 1967 vee bottom, a shorter board in a time of longboards, I deny any connection to the achievements of those who created the shortboard revolution of the 1980s. Time had yet to roll through all the outline, rocker and fin developments that led to where the multi-finned boards emerged. My vee bottom design had nothing to do with the ‘shortboard’ or ‘vertical’ revolution. Simon’s (Anderson) 1980s ‘thruster’ and Col Smith’s vertical North Narrabeen
surfing are what opened that door.
The day that Simon won the Surfabout at North Narrabeen on his new ‘thruster’ was the day the wheel really turned.
Mark Richard’s twin fin did not have the drive to take him up the face into the top of the wave for the re-entry, cut back, as did Simon’s ‘thruster’.Baddy Treloar: Ted (Spencer) to me was the first guy to make one out in the canefields out at Palmers Channel.
Bob McTavish, whether he shaped the first or the last, Bob was there. It doesn’t matter which way it goes, whether it was Bob shaping at Cord Surfboards or Hayden Kenny surfboards in Queensland or Keyo Surfboards in Sydney, whatever it was you wanted – a vee bottom, anything – Bob would shape it with no template, just do it by eye, shape it freehand. There was Brian Morris who was a Hayden Kenny representative in Sydney. John Otton was there, shaping for Bill Wallace. Kevin Platt at Keyo’s Surfboards was part of the hub of the shortboard; they had Bob McTavish, Kevin Platt and Neal Purchase shaping there. Barry Bennett had Bob McTavish shaping ‘Bluebirds’ and on the south side of Sydney you had Frank Latta.
In the 60s they were still olden day shapers, making boards with redwood stringers.
Peter Drouyn: Peter didn’t start the surfboard revolution: that happened as a natural follow on to Peter’s own private surfing revolution, the ‘power surfing’ (genre) as it was called. And it’s Peter’s determined fervor within his rip, tear, blast brand – body against wave – an all-in ‘dare’ brand (with a matador style displaying mutual respect) of surfing, that gave him constant persuasion, to keep reducing the length and particularly the weight of his boards, to satisfy his thirst for closer, introspective up-close/escape action. Had Peter Drouyn never surfed, ‘power surfing’ would never have evolved from that point in history, by an Australian, for the benefit of Australians or the world. But without his crushing will and Houdini balance, driven by his personality (and inner turmoil dampened by his addictive surf action) ‘power surfing’, and thus functional shorter, lighter boards, would never have evolved but for his exposing all in his historical 1965 competition entry point … (written by Westerly Windina).
