Who's Going to Indo

With a giant storm forecast to hit Indonesia on the 27th / 28th June, if you are lucky enough to be able to drop everything and book that air ticket then get over there , cause its going be pumping waves !

Make sure you got , that step up / semi gun surfboard packed in the quiver . Because your 5'4  hipster twin fin ain't going to cut it .

Boards around the 6'5  to 7'0 plus mark with plenty of foam. The guys who paddle out with those boards will be on all the bombs , getting in early and getting shacked !

Also pack those extra leg-ropes , nice and thick ! Preferably buy some new leg ropes ... A leg rope can become your best friend when you are coping 10 set waves on the head !

With this particular swell the forecast is packing an incredibly high period ,the latest forecasts on sites like MagicSeaweed are pushing it up to 28 seconds , that's super powerful .

It may not be huge but its gonna be packing some punch !

Good idea to update the fin collection .Invest in some larger fins  we got 40 % off on all our fins at our online store , the larger size fin in the water will be a must . 

You going to need that larger fin template in the water !

And remember when you pull up to that empty line out .Its probably bigger than it looks !

But that's no excuse ! You got the boards dialed in  , your got the big fins lock and loaded , the extra thick leg-rope , get out there and turn it into one of those memorable days !

Paddle deep , paddle hard and just GO !

Scotland The Brave

Thinking destinations like Hawaii , Mentawais or the Pacific and idllyic warm water images of epic waves  come to mind . Well forget that ,how about one of the last great surfing frontiers, North West Scotland ? 

Above is one of the last remaining wilderness regions in Great Britain . All you got to do is hike for four days in close to minus degrees temperatures , just make sure you bring all your own food and supplies. Lodgings are mountain shacks and if you can handle all of this then these freezing cold line ups could all be yours !

Our mate over in the UK Pete Geall lives for these types of surf adventures and packed his trusty Formula Energy Blend and headed of into the wilderness with his buddy .

New Wetsuit supplied by Finisterre for testing in the frigid waters which hover around 7 degrees Celsius and his favourite surfboard. The boys scored some empty line ups and cold water tubes .

Above are just a few images from the  recent trip . Pete traveled  to one of the most remote surfing destinations and scored . Look out for the full story coming out in the magazine Great Ocean Quarterly December issue !

SOLID WAVE OPTIONS

Dig solid waves  and get excited when you see weather maps like this ? Or perhaps you are planing your Indonesia sojourn for 2015 . And looking to update the quiver ?

Either way serious waves need excellent surfboards . Step up and semi guns need enough volume , right rockers , perfected bottom curves and reliable fin set ups are just a few vital points ,to make sure you get in the right spot and the boards reacts the right way where and when you need it . 

Check out a few from our range 

BIRTH OF THE BLEND

Pete Geall is originally from the UK and is currently working as a lifeguard in Western Australia.

Pete likes to travel .Pictured here, he is scoring some afternoon delight in the West.

The surfboard he is riding above is the original Blend prototype designed back in November 2013 . That essentially was the birth of one of our most popular models ..

Pete bought it second hand in early 2014 and has traveled the world with this board . Posting images from Iceland on his solo surfing missions ( click here ) .And  even England gets barrels ! ( click here ) . 

Originally we designed it as swallow tail but we changed the tail shape.

After much testing and feedback it morphed into its current squash tail set up . The pronounced hip in the tail really sets this surfboard apart as a small wave performance alternative . 

Looks like it goes just fine ...in either tail design ....
