CONGRATULATIONS @clairebevo on her fourth Queen of the Point 👑
👏👏👏
Claire’s win makes her the most successful Queen to ever have surfed at Trigg Point, taking down 2022 Open Women’s State Champion and big wave charger Felicity Palmateer.
And despite being a wave starved final, Claire still found the best waves on offer and threw down a series of high speed, vertical manoeuvres on her faithful ELITE model.

“Absolutely love my Big J - it gives me the turning ability and extra rocker I need while not sacrificing size and volume. Literally the perfect board for me. Gav is such a legend and luckily he's my neighbour and even goes to the trouble of watching me surf so he can shape me a better board. Can't say enough about how amazing 1-DA boards are.”

“Wow, what a wonderful experience to deal with Gav and Nikki. Gav is such a first class shaper and Nikki’s communication throughout the process was just brilliant.
I purchased a custom 8’0” round and it’s performing amazingly.
I was after an emotional attachment to my board. A little 60’s retro along with modern day. Gav was so understanding of my design request. What I got exceeded my expectations. Perfect size, feel, float and wow the look is so amazing just a beautiful finish.
Thanks so much to the whole 1-DA family. They have reinvigorated my passion for catching waves.
So do ya self a favour and get in contact with 1-DA Shapes.”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Aaron had to say about his CHEATER:
“Excellent experience with the team at 1-DA.
I locked in a FREE one-on-one video consultation with Gavin. He listened to what I was trying to achieve with my surfing and together we came up with a plan for a custom CHEATER.
Being based in NZ, I was a little nervous with the whole ordering online and shipping back from Aus, but dealing with Nikki I can safely say its been the best customer experience to date with any surfboard order. Nikki worked a plan to get it to me and my board arrived at my door in perfect condition.
I've been super happy with my board, from the model, the size and the construction (PU glassed in Epoxy). I 100% recommend 1-DA and I am already planning my next order.
Thank you.”

“After many years of ordering boards for my son, it was finally time for me to order one from Gav. Gav took the time with me to listen to what I was looking for and suggested the Dub T. What a great choice. To say this board has changed my outlook on surfing is an understatement. I can not get off this thing. The board is super fast and loose and gets through sections without even trying. It has definitely added to my surf fun. I cannot believe it took me this long to order myself a board from 1-DA.
Thanks again Gav and Nikki. ”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Jamie had to say about his new J-FORCE:
“I got the 6’2 J Force as a step up option for when the waves are firing so I haven’t ridden it as regularly as my Multi but it feels comfortable under my feet and turns on a dime so all good there.
I initially chose 1-DA after seeing the branding on Gav’s car when I took my daughter to her ballet lesson just down the street from the factory. I did a quick website search and thought that the consultation was a good idea. I’ve ordered a fair few custom boards in the past but never really had that kind of one on one conversation with the shaper before. I really enjoyed just talking about boards with Gav and am stoked with the results. I’ll definitely be ordering my boards from 1-DA from now on.”

“I've been riding my MULTI 5’ 8” for almost 3 months. This board is my 5th 1-DA surfboard.
For the last couple of years, I was struggling to enjoy surfing. Then I decided to knock on Gav's door!! When I had a consultation with Gav, he listened carefully to what I said (been struggling, getting older, need more paddle speed, etc).
Then a few weeks later, I got a new beautiful board in my hands. The board has been giving me a lot of advantages. The board paddles nice and easy and helps my neck & shoulder. Easy to catch waves, nice response, speed is fast enough to throw the white wave sections.
And the best thing is, I have been enjoying surfing!
The board dimensions are MULTI 5’ 8” x 19 1/4" x 2 5/16" 26.5L Hip Rounded Square”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Archie had to say about his new DUB T twin fin:
“The Dub-T is a great, light, fast board. It goes great in most conditions and is easily one of the best twin fins on the market.
10 out of 10, would definitely recommend.
It’s my new favourite in my quiver… thanks Gav!! 🤙”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Kaleb had to say about his ELITE 5’ 11” ordered online:
“This is my second Elite and I couldn’t believe it was better than the last! When the waves are good there’s no other board I’d want under my feet. Lots of speed and drive and the right amount of release when you want it. Performance short boards don’t get any better. Couldn’t recommend 1-DA enough, from the product itself to the staff and communication, everything is A+.”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Craig had to say about his new ELITE:
“With this being my third 1-DA Elite I have owned, this is the best one by far. I have surfed it in all kinds of conditions from the Gold Coast to Canada and I can’t fault the board one bit. It drives hard, holds rail well and has awesome release off the top in just about any conditions. With Gav’s experience and knowledge it was awesome having him help decide what was going to be the best for my surfing style and he didn’t disappoint. Super stoked with the service, support and product. 🤙🤙”
Craig rides a custom ELITE 6’ 1” x19” x 2 7/16” 29.9L. Stock sizes available online.

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what @mattogrady__ had to say about his new MASS DESTRUCTION:
“From the moment I met Gav the board design process was super easy. Gav and I worked together looking at what I liked and didn’t like in my current board, my surfing and how I wanted to progress. End result - the Mass Destruction. The board feels really good under my feet especially when turning vertical off the bottom and can maintain speed throughout the turn which is something that my last board didn’t do. The board lands super stable on end sections and is fun to ride in all conditions. This board can hold it’s place in bigger waves and can drive down the line as well as hold speed through the fat sections in smaller waves. The Mass Destruction has been my favourite board so far! Thanks so much Gav!”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Shane had to say about his new MULTI:
“Gav and I caught up via messenger for a consultation, we talked for ages about the board and spots around Taranaki to the point where the sun had set and Gav didn’t even realise because he’s sooo into making boards! He was very thorough and figured out all the niggles, finally we settled on the Multi with a round tail which I really like. I also asked for a custom spray.
The board goes so well in all conditions from mushy slop to solid reef breaks. It’s really helped my confidence and will get the same board again once I’ve worn this rocket out! Shot Gavin, love the board and the colour is bang on!”
