Kiri Surfcraft - King George Promo Clip - Mini Simmons mixed with an Alaia

Kiri Surfcraft's original shape - the King George is a harmonious blend of the traditional alaia and a Mini Simmons. It retains all the speed, glide, flex and feeling of an alaia and combines that with more stability, makes it easier to ride and gives you a bit more hold in critical sections.

This is a beautiful board that you will enjoy in almost any conditions your local may throw at you.

Order yours today by emailing kirisurfcraftinfo@gmail.com or give James a call on 0417 106 480. Prices start at $425 plus shipping.

Summer is coming - Get an Alaia - Alaia from $329 and Simmons / Alaia Hybrids from $425

Checking the forcasts and I've got a week of small surf and onshore winds coming my way. Summer seems to be on its way...



















3 years ago I wouldn't have bothered going out knowing I'd just get frustrated trying to surf weak mushy onshore waves.

My prespective on surfing totally changed when I really got into riding alaias. All of a sudden a knee high peak started to look enticing. Even on the smallest and weakest swells, with an alaia I know I will score some great rides.

Here is Tim, riding a King George Alaia Hybrid with mini keels on tiny waves at Lorne Point. This model is much easier to ride than a regular alaia - this was only Tim's second wave on his new board.

For those of you who haven't got an alaia in the quiver you really are missing out. You might not surf it every day, or if you are like me it will be your go to board for just about everythng, but when the waves are small there is nothing better.

If you would like your own alaia or alaia hybrid our prices are:

Standard Alaia up 6"4' with a square, round or swallow tail is $329
For an Alaia Hybrid  - King George or Flounder models up 6"2' is $389
For an Alaia/Mini Simmons Hybrid 6"1' X 19' with fcs plugs prices start from $425
  - Please note prices on paulownia can vary greatly acording to demand and supply, as such our prices do change as well so please email to confirm a quote.

Super cool - little Single Fin Clip!

Balsa Singlefin - Smooth and Sleek - The Merluza

The Merluza -

I've just finished this solid balsa and red cedar singlefin, I've named Merluza after a beautiful sleek and fast Chilean Fish. I designed this tri-planning hull 6 ft Singlefin for long peeling solid waves.

Her maiden voyage was an absolute joy for me, you can really drive through your bottom turns and set clean high lines. Effortless speed down the line, just let the board and the waves do the work for you.

Stay posted for some more photos and maybe a vid down the track.

For more info send me a message!

Big thanks to Ochroma Surfboards for supplying this recycled balsa - really high quality product and easy to work with! Check em out at: http://ochroma.com.au/

Loving working with Balsa

Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of cool and exciting posts of late, but I have just been really flat out with work. Upside is I've been working with some beautiful balsa for Ochroma Surfboards in South Oz. The timber is all reclaimed and recycled and is a joy to work with.

Boards are comimg together really well and I can't wait to get the 6'1 single fin in the water for a test ride!

If you are interested in getting a balsa board or any other hollow or solid board for summer let me know!

Enjoy the waves!

James

Balsa boards now a much more affordable option!

I have been dreaming of building a balsa board for some time now, but the price has always held me back.

All that has changed now with some very afforable reclaimed balsa from Ochroma in South OZ.

Looking forward to building some balsa boards soon!
