Great article and video on Surf Surfy about Bonzers and how the bonzer came about.

Blunt one for Lucas
6’8 x 21 3/3 x 2 1/2 Blunt Diamond EVO3 for Lucas… made this one out of a superlight blank from South Africa… was harder to shape but came up sweet…
Deck channels are a new thing especially for Lucas which should also add strength, decrease weight, and anchor that front foot nicely…

Malcolm with Peace
Last autumn Malcolm shaped me a 6’8” Octafish Bonzer… after a run up the Freeway with Tim Elsner for Malcolm’s personal inspection, Peace flew to Baja with Steve Jacobi to await my arrival – only to be thwarted by Immigration who didn’t like the lack of chevrons on Vicky’s passport. The board is still in Mexico but we will finally be united this December for some winter waves at Cassa Jacobi.

“In the mist of summer”…
From Surfer Magazine March 1978 Vol 18 #6 and article about a surf film made by Russ Short. What got me most about this article was the cutback sequence… I remember seeing this as a 13 year old kid riding a 6’10” Bruce Palmer single fin pintail and being mind blown… how could he turn like that? Some years later I was to discover the answer… a bonzer . Now I would love to get a DVD copy of this movie!!! Any one have one please drop me a line…
