Come on , so many Oz here n none reply ? …
OK AnDi,
Here’s my usual list (basically guys I’d love to get a board from) South Coast you have Mick Mackie and in Sydney there’s the 6oz Boardstore which has an insane range of boards. North there’s Dain Thomas at Sea, Mark Thomson, Dick Van Straalen, Neal Purchase (although I’ve never seen a quad of his) and there’s also the Bushrat guy who does the Derek Hynd fish. No doubt hundreds of others, but a board from any of the above would be a winner. I’d go check 6oz in person if I could though, good place to get an idea of what’s out there.
Andi,
Yes, there are a lot of Aussies here, but the question you ask is so broad. Goldy and Sydney must have literally hundreds of shapers that fit the bill.
Constafos has thrown in a few, 3 more I’d like to add to teh list are:
Diverse: Dave Verral (FeralDave on here) definately worth a check
Full Force (Steve Barber): Very nice boards
Chris Garrett Shapes (Chris Garrett): Very nice boards also, his timber boards are very nice!
I’m sure I’ve only put a drop into the ocean.

Dear CONSAFOS ,
Thx for the infor , any idea they do custom made board ?
Cheers … .
Thefishexp ,
Thx , i’m looking for 100% Oz made board , i don need big name shaper just some humble shaper wif reasonable price … . u reckon those 3 ? U have any of their board ?
thx …
AnDi,
I’m pretty sure those guys would do a custom if you ask (and pay!) Feral Dave is a great suggestion too- he’s a member here and plenty of pics of his boards have shown up here- nice they are too. You could get nutty and go see Geoff McCoy. Probably won’t end up with a quad but it would be an awesome board whatever you get! FishExp is right, you’re in the middle of such a concentration of shapers there it shouldn’t be a problem.
Consafos ,
Already have a 6’0" McCoy nugget , couldn’t find Neil Purchase Snr email add or website . Anyone can help here … ?
Thx .
Why not check out this board shop in Bondi for some ideas…
http://www.sixounceboardstore.com.au
there’s some great local boards in stock, gives you an idea as well of what’s out there - lots of quads!!!
AnDi,
Yes… you want humble shapers, 100% Aussie product and reasonable price - all 3 are what you are after (as well as about 100 other shapers in the area).
I’ve not had a chat with Dave (Diverse), but I have had long discussions with Steve at Full Force and Chris Garrett.
All I can say is if you are dropping in for a chat, pack your lunch cause you’re gonna be there for a while.
All do beautiful boards - I can’t really split between which one is better for you… go and see all 3 and decide for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
