Malcolm Rips

I hooked with Malcom Campbell and UK Bonzer tour instigator Guy Penwarden for an interview last night and a feature will be appearing on Drfit very soon. I got the Guys to talk more about themselves than surfboards to get another angle for the article, also talked about many other things including Taylor Knox's surfing feats on Bonzers and the amazing legacy of the Bonzer design as it reaches it's 40th anniversary.

In the mean time here is some vintage footage of Malcolm on a Bonzer and if you have ever watched much surfing from the seventies then you will know this is cutting edge surfing for that period of innovation.

Not forgetting a bit of Taylor as well.

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
