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.”

“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!”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Jai’s Dad had to say about Jai’s new CUB grom board:
“Thanks for everything 1DA!! From the initial consult with Gav through to the pickup day, everything was seamless. Nikki`s communication throughout the process was top quality. Jai`s surfing has gone to another level having the CUB under his feet and the spray job was awesome. The look on his face when we picked it up was priceless. Do yourself a favour and contact Gav and Nikki for your next board, you won`t regret it.”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Chris had to say about his new custom CHEATER 6’ 1” x 22” x 3” 44.69L:
“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.”

“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.”

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Rick had to say about his ELITE in 1-DA epoxy technology:
“My 6’0” 1-DA Elite in epoxy technology is the only board I’ve been riding since I got it about 6 months ago. Goes well in all waves from barrels to the beaches and points. I chose your business because it’s fast becoming the board of choice in Taranaki, with some of the top local surfers riding them so had to try one for myself and loved it after feeling it out. The boards I have (I have 3 1-DA’s in the quiver now) are going really well and I like how Gavin is available to discuss options and make adjustments to the boards to suit my surfing. I will definitely be sticking to the 1-DA’s going forward. I like that I know I can just grab that 1 board, head to the beach and it’s going to perform.”
1-DA Shapes Surfboards are available in Taranaki through Chip and the crew at @beachstreetnz

1-DA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE? Here’s what Nasser had to say about his new custom HYPO 5’ 6 ½” x 20 ½” x 2 ¾” 35.5L wood stringer EPS blank with epoxy glassing:
“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.”
