Lennox

The world of surfboard design isn't anywhere near stagnation and every week we see new shapes being born, old shapes being updated and new and interesting stuff happening all over the world.
These are amazing times to be a surfer. Don't be afraid of trying something new. Surfing is all about having fun!

John Wesley - Lennox

Available from 6’0”-7’0”
The pinnacle of Australian short board revolution circa 1969-1971. A bit curvy template up front straight tail lines rolled, displaced nose entry, going into paneled vee out the tail. For drawing long lines in open faced point breaks or quick tubes and banking turns in beach breaks. Think Sea of Joy. Ridden with a variety of 7.75”-9” flex fins. Also modernized and ridden smaller with less roll thinner and spiral vee with glass on side bites for more twin fin oriented quivers

first look

It was impossible to resist so I had to show some of the amazing boards I will have in stock for the shop opening. Don't ask me for details, don't ask for better photos... be patient and wait. If you like what you see in these photos, wait until you see the real thing. Photos don't do them justice!

film

After so many photos with digital cameras, a few months ago I went back to 35mm film. Bought a used Pentax P30 on Ebay and started shooting, mostly in B&W.
Shooting film is another experience. You think a lot more before you press the trigger. Every photo, coming out good or not, has an intention behind it, something you want to capture and you try to do it the best you can, taking time to think, setting aperture and speed. Not shooting 10 photos of the same scene to edit later!
On this recent trip to France I used both the digital and the analogue camera. Got some great photos with both but the film ones have a special appeal.

Here is a few, more on my facebook page.

There's so much to write about this amazing trip to France, but I need time and you need patience!
For now, let images talk.

A couple hours in San Sebastian, checking out Muskaria in Zarautz, Blend Glassing with Fab and Nico and some logging with Nico.
