Board #5-My latest Bonzer 5

Hey everyone, here’s a few photos of my newest Bonzer 5, 6’2.5"x 19"x 2.5". Glassed double 6 top, 6 bottom and a gloss and polish but it’s still relatively light. The fins are laid up clear, although it doesn’t really show in the photos. This is my fifth board, with each one it’s getting a bit easier to make it end up like I envisioned at the start! I’m really happy with the way that this one came out, much knowledge learned on Sways applied and thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge!


Nice deck and outline !

“5” thumbs up !

I finally get to see an accy board …stoked !!

[sorry for keeping on at you about bonzers , but hey , it seems to have worked !

cheers !

…now I want to see a 3 finner bonzer …

nice work acolyte. i like the diamond tail & clear keels & resin swirl. definitely confirms for me that a five-fin bonzer is on my ‘to do’ list. just as soon as i get a canard quad fish done first.

thanks for sharing. happy surfing.

Acolyte,

Great looking board, good that the kiwis are building a few and not letting the aussies get all the glory and I’m looking forward to riding my friend’s Campbell Bros. bonzer that he’s had on order for MONTHS. Being the bastard I am I show him every new bonzer pic on Sways so that his wait seems even more painful.

you look like a big guy holding that thing so i bet it will work for you nicely, i love five fins.

Thanks for all of the kind words guys, Chip I just sold my 3-fin Bonzer but another one is on the cards! Bonzers have over the past year become my favorite design, just a few pumps and you’re away down the line as fast as you want. Cheers guys!

And here’s a photo from yesterday of it in action

beautiful !

what happened next …pull in , tubed , spat out , big cutty ,

WHHHAAAACKKKK ! hard off the lip , freefall to the bottom , searing bottom turn and whhhhaaaack off the lip again etc …

what a SCENIC looking surf spot …it reminds me of the right Joe Curren and others surfed in the dvd 'Glass Love " ???

ah

mangas on a clean east swell

glad to see you got some down south

nicew board by the way cody

nice looking board! the picture of you surfing bums me out-where are all the people!!?? (it must be nice havin’ it to yourself!)

well matt

the thing about kaiks is

its bloody cold

i wear 4/3 and booties in summer down there

see that wettie codies wearing

still im sure there were a fair few guys out that day

maybe twenty or so

mangas rarely breaks like that though

usually its a wrapping south swell that has a hell sweep

that wave looks more east to north east swell and it really starts firing

whats a superbank? eh
