BIG RED FAN CLUB

I’ll tell you straight - we will never miss a chance to talk up Big Red AKA Naughty Nic Brewer AKA Big Red Blushin. He generally flies below the radar but when he took the W in the Noosa Fest WSL event this year we all basked in his reflective glow. Hence why we're trying to keep that spotlight on him for as long as possible - everyone wins when Big Red wins! Those of us who are lucky enough to call him a friend are proud to do so - congrats on the win Big Red, good to see you're liking that New Faithful!

ANNUAL SMASH UP

If another annual Thomas party rolls around and you haven't yet felt the extra year on your shoulders - you're damn sure to feel it the morning after. Holyyyy! Head banging to Tombeau, high jumping to Girl & Girl, hip wiggling to Stinkin Jim, or indeed, excessive drinking and smoking (so many goddamn ings) - this keyboard lord copped a heater of a hangover on the 15th of March. It must be said, however, that the hangover took nothing away from the joy of the night. Good times every time at the annual Thomas party - thanks to all who made it out that night, and to Liv from Rare Visuals for the photos.

NEW MODEL - THE NEW FAITHFUL

The New Faithful is a new noserider with hard edge in the last two inches of tail that's got the whole team buzzing - even the trad lads are getting around it! It’s more manoeuvrable/has more pizazz than a trad log, but combined with a noserider outline (i.e. wide and less hip), flip in the tail, and a scoop, this thing is still a serious noserider. Contemporary; hybrid; modern log, call it what you will - it’s a board that ticks all the boxes. We’ve made a full batch for our team and the feedback has been incredibly positive. We’re confident the New Faithful will be a new best seller for us. Available in square and rounded pin tails, but the square is the go, I reckon.

THE SINGLE FIN MINGLE
Aight, the Single Fin Mingle... it defies definition. We have no idea where the longboard event ends and the music festival begins. It transitions from the beach to the street in effortless flow - one minute you're hanging ten, the next your crowd surfing. The only constant is friends - so goddamn many of them! Shout-out-ta Ambrose McNeil and co. for their fantastic contribution to, and celebration of longboard culture and style. If you ever needed an excuse to visit the South Island, dis is it. Congrats to the whole Thomas Surfboards team, who showed up (day and night) as hard as any Mingler ever has. Congrats to Mia McMahon for making the final, Big Red for winning the party wave, and The Raging Roach for... well, being the Raging Roach. Another win for the New Faithful too - woohoo.

AND THAT'S NOT QUITE ALL, FOLKS

If you're ever intrigued about how one of our models works, come in and take one of our 20+ demo boards for a spin. Better yet, on your next holiday to Noosa rent one for a week for $200, and if you fall in love and want to buy a freshie, we'll take that $200 off the top of your order. It's pissin' me off that this isn't offered anywhere other than my hometown... the only place I don't need it. Alas, dis is a first world problem.
Thanks for reading folks - smell ya later.
