Generally speaking, most boards we ride are taller than our collarbones. But what if they only could only reach your belly button?
In the second episode of S.U.R.F. – our surfers were partnered up with a shaper of their choosing to hand shape, paint and then surf a custom board. The only rule being the board must be under 4ft tall.
Jaleesa picked Neal Purchase Jnr, Krooky chose Luke Daniels, Vinnie selected Dom Sullivan and Ozzy didn’t not appoint Joel Fitzgerald.
Then they got judged by our panel of 9 (semi-)local expert judges: Stace Galbraith, Jacob Boylan, Kahu Andronicus, Karis Simmons, Josie Pendergast, Danny Wills, Vaughan Blakey, Shinya Dalby and Pauline Menczer – to determine who did best.
Because they are experts, they determine 70% of the vote. The remaining 30% will be decided by the audience vote at our screening party in Byron on the 27th of October – which you should come to and tell all your friends about.
Details below:
Location: The Byron Bowlo @ 18 – 20 Marvell Street, Byron Bay.
Kick off at 5pm until close. Feel free to come early and roll the shoulder over.
Free beers until they run out
We hope to see you there.

Not a surfer but I wanna be too bad I live in tx
Not small boards at all, I'd say they're very normal sized boards, almost too big.
Hey, I have that same green Rhythm hat!
Those boards look so sick!
Krooky is the man. “ don’t go dark!!”
Best show out there
@stabmagazine Any idea who makes the neat little surf hats? Been looking for something like that…
Kgrooky and Jaleesa's boards were definitely the best looking. Vinnie and Ozzy were surfing pretty good but clearly surfing their boards like against the will of the board.
This is stupid and desperate Stab guff.
THE most creative, not to mention entertaining, surf content ever. Deserves millions of views. Surely even non-surfers will love this.
Huge props to the editing team, the music is perfect and timed so well with the footage. Actually world-class.
Also, Krooky is special. Like, the most special Aussie ever. In every sense of the word. I think I have a man-crush. Not ashamed to say it either.
Worst surfboard ever 😂
“I’ve been loving tiny boards since I was tiny “ what a line 😂

Boogie Boarders have been standing on less than 3' boards for decades and then there are skumboarders.
