Three Is The Magic Number


The Campbell Brothers are two of only a few original designer/shapers in the world and have stayed true to there philosophies throughout the ups and downs that the surf industry has dealt them over the last nearly fourty years. Yes thats right- the Bonzer design will be fourty years old next year. Having stuck with there design even through periods of relative obscurity the Bonzer has gained popularity with the recent interest in designs alternative to the thruster. Malcolm Campbell was in Cornwall for a week shaping boards. Steve Croft and I was fortunate to snag some of his time to interview him for Drfit Magazine. http://tinyurl.com/ycz98bl

A Greener Wave


Surfboards and the environment have been a hot topic in surfing for a year or two now. With the demise of Clark Foam and the continued publicity of global warming there has been a big push on alternative materials to the petro chemical based polyurethane. With this in mind I did a bit of my own research on the subject and interviewed the enviromentally conscious managing director of Homeblown, Tris Cokes. We talked at lenght about eco boards and Homeblowns unique MDI foam. To find out more check out the article on Drfit @ http://www.driftsurfing.eu/surfing_article.asp?ID=1838
