1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Mario had to say about his J-FORCE in 1-DA’s epoxy technology:
“Whilst it is a stunning board the performance is phenomenal . This past weekend I got to take it to the spot I had it designed for as a sneaky east swell came up out of the blue and it did not disappoint . Clean long lines drawn ( it can certainly hold a looooong line ) , lips demolished and the thing I most wanted in heavy moving water when paddling back out - stability and no tendency for the nose to get dragged under when paddling through all the moving wash and currents . I asked Gavin Upson for a specific shape to perform in these areas where there is a lot of moving water with heavy waves and the magician has delivered again !
A perfect compliment to my DCE’s !”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what @mandy_gouldsbury had to say about her new MASS DESTRUCTION:
“I’ve always loved every board that I’ve had shaped from 1-DA. I hadn’t had a board for around two years so I was unsure on what board I wanted. Gavin was amazing at talking me through what may work when I explained that my old board was no longer working. My surfing has improved so much on my new board as now I’m able to ride out of my waves. Gavin exceeded all my expectations and I’m enjoying my new board.”

“It’s really fun because it is easy to turn and it is buoyant so I’m getting heaps of waves. I surf it in lots of different swell and I’m progressing well. I love it.🏄♂️”
His Mum also commented:
“He’s doing so well on that board, it’s pretty impressive. He made the school surf team (one of only 10 kids) and is popping up quickly in some decent swell and he’s started doing some turns. He’s come a really long way really quickly. Thank you for the awesome board, he loves it and wants to surf every day.”

“From the first time we had a meeting with Gav it was professional but also like talking to someone we have known for years. Since we got Ollie’s first board shaped he just turned a corner and took his surfing to another level. We highly recommend 1-DA as it was a perfect turn around from ordering to collecting.”
Chris (Ollie’s Dad)
“I love my 1-DA surfboards and have been frothing riding them! It was so cool to see Gav when I picked up my board recently and see the shaping process and how it all works.”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Koa and his Dad had to say about Koa’s new MASS DESTRUCTION:
“Koa absolutely loves it, spray job is so cool!. He has had quite a few surfs on it now from shitty small waves to pumping big waves, on the points and beachies and east coast beaches also. The board has improved his surfing from the first time he rode it. He gelled with it straight away. I asked him what his thoughts on it were and this is what he said ... he loves it, is really fast and easy to get speed, better doing forehand cutties, and awesome on his back hand. I have noticed all these things watching him. You really see how the board is so much more refined in the more critical parts of the wave making both forehand and back turns more critical.
Awesome board mate. Stoked... look forward to sending you some footage of Koa and working towards the next one. I cant believe how much better the quality of board is from Aussie of all the surfs he has had so far there isnt one pressure ding. Koa thinks it is bullet proof.. Ha Ha.
Thanks again Gav.”

“I was in my happy place today thanks to you Gavin Upson mate. Finally got to surf the new weapon in NW Tassie at Green Point. Fun little lefts reeling off a sand bar with cross-shore winds. Had the best surf man so stoked. Fast loose and super responsive. I love the transition on the rails from a super crisp edge near the fins and fading forward. New favourite board. Much appreciated Gav. Thanks again 👍 🤙”

“This is my sixth board from Gav and definitely the best one yet in terms of performance. I’m bigger and heavier than the average surfer but Gav always manages to shape a board that has volume in all the right places and still allows me to fit in turns even with the extra volume. Gav shaped the board in two weeks as well which is amazing. Will never get a board from another shaper. Thanks Gav!”

“I have surfed for 25yrs or so, during that time I would have had 50 or more boards, including at least 15 or so custom’s. I can truly say without a doubt the entire process at 1-DA is exceptional and 2nd to none. From the unbelievable communication with making the original booking and throughout the process, through to Gav’s genuine love of making boards I cant recommend them high enough. I have had a fair few surfs on my new boards now and they are inline with the entire 1-DA experience – that is exceptional! You have a customer for life with me!”

“My Cheater is the first hybrid board I’ve had shaped for me, and to say I love it is an understatement! The extra volume and distribution of the volume in the right places makes this board amazing in all conditions. It’s my go-to on any point break and despite the extra volume has awesome manoeuvrability so I can use it on any beachside as well. Super stoked as usual with Gav’s expertise and shaping the perfect board for me.”
