1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Craig had to say yesterday about his son’s new MASS DESTRUCTION:

“I bought a 5`4` Mass Destruction for my 12 year old a few months ago.  Since, his surfing has improved and its obvious this board is everything he will need moving forward. I`m already planning to just buy the next size up when he grows out of this one.
Great board made by friendly, knowledgable, skilled people. Thankyou Gav and Nikki.”

“I wanted to get a new 1-DA board because my friends were riding them. I wanted to have more speed. My new board is great. I feel like I have more power and flow in my surfing now. Its so much easier to paddle into the waves too. I would say to other people to get a 1-DA.”

“A message to all the surfers and surfing communities. My name is Nasser. This review is an honest one with no bollocking! I’ve came across Nikki and Gav through a friend of mine who recommended these guys to shape a board for me that I’ve had since being back living in Australia. So the board was sent up to Gavin and the instructions were can you copy this? He said yes. Well well without knowing me or seeing me he delivered a bloody cracker of a board which I was blown away!!! Guys, do yourself a favour, contact this husband and wife team and bloody order a board and support this small family business. 💯 you won’t go anywhere else.”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Glenn had to say about his new KNEEBOARD in 1-DA epoxy technology:

“Best kneeboard I`ve ridden! Unique blend of bottom concaves allows speed and great manoeuvrability right in the pocket, where you want to be. Drives off the bottom hard with nice release out of the lip. Very controllable coming down in the white water in close-out sections. Surfed it as a quad which I feel suits the board, with stiff solid fibreglass fins. They balance the flex from the EPS construction and help the board maintain speed in and out of turns. Will be ordering a step up for Indo next year. Thanks heaps Gavin and Nikki, fantastic service!”

“I sat down with Gav and placed a custom order for a 7.6 Gun. Every time I get a board off Gav and Nikki (1-DA) it reignites my passion and froth for surfing again. It’s so much fun in small waves and it goes off in anything overhead. Just a sick board. Nailed it again, so stoked, absolute legends.”

“I got a 5’9” FISH for my birthday and I love it. Before I got my new board, I was struggling to catch waves and turning once I got on them or having enough speed to avoid the break. But after getting my Fish, I’m catching more waves than what I know what to do with! And I’ve got the speed and buoyancy to move around better than ever. I’m so stoked about my new board.”

“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.”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Steve had to say about his new Custom 8’ 0” mini mal:

“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.”

“I bought the DUB T for my 13 year old son.  It was going to be his `fun alternative` board but it goes so well he uses it as often as his main.  I think for him this board surfs better than expected and is great for his overall enjoyment of surfing.”

After buying 1-DA boards for his son for over 4 years, Gold Coast surfer BRETT finally decided to get a 1-DA board for himself. Here’s what Brett had to say about his new DUB T:

“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.”

Jamie got a custom J-FORCE 6’ 2” x 19 5/8” x 2 5/8” round tail 32.82L in standard PU construction and with a custom spray.
