David Platt Surfboard Restorations

David Platt - "I have a small ding repair and restoration business based on the NSW Central Coast 100km Nth of Sydney, Australia. This site has been set up to highlight the restoration side of the business. Restorations take time. There is plenty going on behind the scenes. 

So have a look at a new blog in my links. "dpsr behind the scenes." 

This has incorporated the photos link and will show the day to day stuff that goes on with the restorations and a bit more."

David Platt Surfboard Restorations

Not sure about the age of this board.
I would say 63/64
The logo according to surfresearch
suggests this board is a 66 model.

 

Pre restoration.
9'8 1/2" x 21 3/4" x 3 7/8"
Nose 16"
Tail 15 1/4"

Old fin.
Not original timber.
Crudely glassed and set to far forward.

New fin.

This area was delaminated
and the foam was split.
The stringer was intact.

Nose area repaired.
Bottom gloss down.

Flat rocker.
Note the leg rope attachment.
This board is going to be a rider.

UNDER 9 FOOT & SINGLE 2014

UNDER 9 FOOT & SINGLE 2014 from Deus ex Machina on Vimeo.
This was a year of firsts for the Deus 9 Foot & Single festival. Not only were a flock of female cross-steppers dominating the Canggu river mouth, we also held our first annual Under 9 Foot & Single division. We decided to run the spur of the moment shortboard division because we’d (somehow) found ourselves with a bit of extra time. Needless to say, it was a hoot! And surfers who were at the beach early on the finals day (most with sever hangovers from the night of partying at the Temple) surfed four man heats, with the river mouth to themselves. As to be expected, the format was relaxed and competitors weren’t all that competitive, but the waves were fun and the skill level was high. The Under 9 Foot and Single division will become a staple in our festival for years to come and we can’t wait to see who turns up next year, when it’s not so spontaneous.

Nathan Strom | Surfer Magazine

Most 16-year-old surfers aren’t capable of threading heavy tubes on a 5'2" one day, then riding the nose on a 9'6" log the next, but Nathan Strom is a little ahead of the curve. That’s because Strom has spent the past few years getting the CliffsNotes from longboard icon and fellow San Diegan Joel Tudor. Under the tutelage of Tudor, Strom has dedicated himself to mastering a wide variety of craft, from single-fin longboards to twin-keel fish to high-performance thrusters. With a knack for adapting to various boards and conditions, Strom is quickly becoming one of California’s most versatile surfers.

There's really nothing like going on a surf trip with some buddies and scoring some epic surf together. Bonfires, beers, getting lost, camping, flat tires, instant coffee, long windy roads, spearfishing, off-roading, and getting stuck in the sand are all components of a great road trip to Baja. Kameron Brown, Corey Colapinto, Sakae Patrick, Christian Wach, Carson Wach, and Evan Adamson adventure down into to Baja to score some perfect loggin' waves.

Twins & Fins

Twins & Fins from Manuel Portugal on Vimeo.

A bonita praia de Ribeira D’Ilhas junto à Ericeira recebeu um evento único e muito especial, o nome de Twins & Fins. No mesmo espaço conviveram durante dois dias culturas distintas mas ao mesmo tempo com muitas semelhanças, como são o motociclismo e o surf. Liberdade e criatividade são adjectivos comuns a qualquer uma destas culturas e confirmando isso mesmo os seguidores e amantes de ambos os géneros estiveram lado a lado num dos locais mais emblemáticos em Portugal para o surf.

The beautiful beach of Ribeira d'Ilhas close to Ericeira hosted an event unique and very special, by the name of Twins & Fins. Coexisted in the same space two distinct cultures for two days but at the same time with many similarities, they are motorcycling and surfing. Freedom and creativity are common to any of these adjectives and cultures confirming that even the followers and lovers of both genders were side by side in one of the most emblematic places in Portugal for surfing.

Many years ago, Garrett Goodwin and Mylo Zukovich shaped a longboard together and named it the Vichwin. It had a Buddha graphic on it. The board is very beat down these days, but that doesn't stop Garrett from going and having a killer log sesh on it. Also, mysto Derrick Disney wave.

The Life & Times of Brian Bent

If you’ve ever been to tourmaline beach in san diego, or, as the locals call it, “old mans”, there’s a chance you’ve seen a guy on a huge longboard called a “Kook Box” surfing in a sweater and a sailor hat. That’s Brian Bent, a local surfer with a unique style. But there’s more to Brian than just a throwback style and big smile.
Brian is a painter, a musician, a surfer, a skater, and a hot rod enthusiast. And as you’ll see in this Biopic, he’s pretty badass at all of them!

A Shared Moment with Israel Preciado

A Shared Moment with Israel Preciado from Quality Peoples on Vimeo.
This documentary film is the first in a series of Quality Peoples short films that take a brief glimpse into the lives of our collaborators and inspirations. Israel Preciado is a longboarder cat from Mexico and the unofficial Mayor of Sayulita. You might know Izzy as the face of QP, he’s the stoic guy in all the photos. Antithetical to the image we’ve created of him, Izzy is actually one of the kindest, funniest, unassuming guys you’ll meet in the lineup. Izzy’s quiver runs deep and in this short film we spend a few shared moments with him as he talks about his childhood, his favorite spots, slowing things down, the art of small wave riding, traveling, learning to surf and the act of surfing as both sport and meditation. With a special appearance by Lola Mignot.
This short documentary was filmed, directed and edited by the folks at Quality Peoples. We hope you enjoy.

Slaves of Summer | RVCA

Slaves of Summer from RVCA on Vimeo.

The Slaves of Summer camping surf trip through France, Spain & Portugal with RVCA Europe Advocates Robin Falxa (France), Jack Whitefield (UK), Adrian Siebert (Germany), Matteo Fabbri (Italy) & Benjamin Jean Jean (France).

We all know Europe isn’t known for its waves during summer, but it is known to deliver a good time. So we decided on shoving 4 nationalities into a couple of rental vehicles with a bunch of camping gear, too many surfboards and hit the road for a cliché euro trip.

We got lost, went skating, partied too much, met girls, camped on the side of the road, surfed shitty waves and crashed our rental car. But we had fun, even though we couldn’t understand each other.

CJ Nelson (a man who needs no introduction) has collaborated with the Salty Merchants to release a range of fins, designed around his latest board models. Amongst testing in Australia we found some time to hang and get to know CJ on a personal level.. An entertaining story of past troubles, current stoke and future possibilities.. As well as some insight into his new fin range and the documentation of some epic, empty slides on the point breaks of South Coast of Australia.

Ode to Simplicity

Ode to Simplicity from ENJOY THE SOUP on Vimeo.
This short documentary portrays Andrew Strode, a carpenter/artist/shaper from Cape Town, South Africa. A passionate surfer with a love for nature and craftsmanship, Strode talks about wood as his favourite raw material for building boards, bodysurfing, his blind dog that is addicted to the ocean and the important role simplicity plays in his life.

more about the art and the surfboards of Andrew Strode:
Andrew Strode lives in Muizenberg, South Africa, where he paints, makes sculptures out of recycled T-shirts and shapes for Wawa Wooden Surfboards. This little wooden surfboard company matches his ideas of quality, respect for our roots and his belief in the sanctity of nature. Andrew’s shapes are inspired by the intuited hydrodynamic genius of the ancient Hawaiian board builders.
