Hey team… get an eyeful of this collection!
On loan from Erle, I gather.WOOOOHOOO!
whoa!
Thanks mate, can you do that to the rest of em. Technically Inept my middle names!
cheers Simon !
great to see those funky fins [featured in the "ripping down walls" movie briefly] up close ...wish i coulda been there !

forking love this guy." out there" is exactly where you should be! These boards are such a wonderful medley or living and plastic.
Ho, howʻs that radical scoop, tunnel, keel, [whatever the fuck it is] fin on that clear board; WTF!!! wonder if any of those boards actually have any extra magic; love it though, the creativity and innovation and artistic freedom to express; a good ride report should go along with each board so we could get a hint of what they do and donʻt do…go get em Erle!!!
I remember seeing Pedersen's boards for the first time here in California in the first showing of "Son of the last Surf Movie" in Orange County. It was one of the important scenes that helped push early thruster design amoung the guys that I knew were shaping short boards then. Wish there were one or two over here to look at back then! Stoked to see that Erle is getting his props!
Huckleberry, thanks a heap mate. I’ll figure it out one day.
By the way…
The museum is “Surf World Gold Coast” just opposite Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. A great operation, featuring an impressive number of heritage craft. Compulsory visiting for members of the Swaylocks community.
Talking to Bob who appears to be in a position of responsibility, the museum is struggling. If numbers thru the door don’t increase, the joint may close down.
It’s run by volunteers… always needing motivated crew with good people skills… ?
will get you to their website.
