Just picked up myself a 5’11" 20 3/4" 2 3/8" fish by Ronnie Goddard. Its probably the funnest board i have ever ridden. I haved surf it with FCS Fg5 tri fin and just got some MR tfx fins and going to give them a run. Does anyone know much about Ronnie Goddard? I know he shapes for Bear up at byron now but have not seen many short boards by him. Would interested to hear if others have surfed his boards and what they thought.
Cheers,
Matty
hiya Matt !
Have you got any photos of the board , especially Ronnie’s logo , please ?
ronnie goddard [‘duck’] shaped in coffs in the 70s . I have an article on him in one of my 1970s “Surfing World” mags, somewhere …
I also posted a shot of him standing next to a single keel board he made in the 1970’s . [That was from a “Tracks” article . ]
maybe type "duck " or “ronnie goddard” in the search box below , or “single keel” ?
hope this helps !

if I can find the article from “Surfing World” , maybe I can try to scan and email it to you , if you like ?
[I may be wrong , but I think he also worked for Bob Cooper in Coffs Harbour for a while ?]
Ben,
I will take some picks of the board and logos and post them over the weekend.
Thanks for the info.
Matt
Here are the pics of my Ronne Goddard Fish. Surfed it yesterday with MR TFX FCS fins for the first time and it went great.
And one more.
