Corey Graham and Greg Brown in Torquay...when 90% of the town are on one guys or the other you can probably guess there doing something right



I asked del.one day who he rated as the top longboard shapers..four names were mentioned and your mate gash was one of them


He surfs alright too...this was one made the cover of surfing life

That's a really interesting pic. Check out his arm positions. Most have them the other way when executing a top turn - left arm above and right below - very tricky to swing your body round that way. Might go hunt some footage down to see if that's how he always surfs. Or maybe he has already rotated his arms around before the rest of his body.

Surfed both guys shortboards, The Corey Graham I still have and one of my best ever, the Greg.... I stuffed my dimensions but still an epic indo board. Never had a long board of them though but from the lads I know from Vicco way they say Gregs long ones are very nice. :)

^^^^^^yep sorta his arms have gone full rotation already,his fins have released and he is preparing to.compress his body yet remain upright and centre in order to ride out if the slide.

You could put a skateboard under his feet and his body right in that position is how a skater would be positioned to initiate a slide
