As a kid growing up in the surf in New Zealand I admired and worshipped five surfers - Phil Edwards, Dewey Webber, Nat Young, Midget Farrelly and Bob McTavish. One of the most creative all time surfers, and still hugely respected world-wide for his innovation, creativity (especially with George Greenough - watch "Crystal Voyager" before you die!) and his genial, modest nature, Bob McTavish is one of surfing's greatest and one of the sports finest characters.

 

 

    

 So it was with pride approaching disbelief when I heard the story of Bob's recent visit to Devon. The story goes - and I'm more than willing to believe it - that Bob was surfing one of his own boards in very average and typical North Devon surf. He borrowed one of our sponsored riders Quiver longboards and didn't give it back! Surfed it all evening apparently, then eulogised later about the board. All or none of this may be true - we only have the picture...

 

Now I'm willling to be content with seeing you on our Quiver board, Bob, its a great honour and after all we strongly believe its one of the best longboard designs in the world right now, especially the Mark Neville Seaflex models.

  Sincerely though, if there is any way we can help you in the future with a more permanant arrangement, please call. You could shape some for us - or perhaps ride our other shapes? 

 

Did I say thank you?  Thank you!

Testing Seaflex composite technology at our Seabase France office.  Demo'd by Marco our despatch manager and the most powerful 6' Frenchman we could find, this 4lb 6'02" board is over a year old and very used. Don't try this with your current surfboard! Oh alright, go on then......

Tom, one of the UK's best ever shortboard surfers (and one of the nicest) 4 times British & UK Junior Champion, had been raving about his test board, claiming it "by far the best board I've ever had!" 

 

Tom collected his new boards from Seabase this week, saying he was so stoked with his progress since riding Quivers. He claims Luke Hart's designs and the Light, Quick and tough Quivers have advanced his surfing another big notch. The only problem he has is having to pay for them - something he says he'll have to get used to!

 

Seabase are priveleged to have Tom join our surf team of young, progressive surfers.

Seabase sponsored rider Candice O’Donnell (left) from Newquay, Cornwall became the 2009 UK Pro Surf Tour Women’s Longboard champion.

 In the first ever UK Pro Surf Tour Women’s Longboard event, riding her Quiver performance long board,  Candice dominated the division in peaky two-to-three foot surf (1 metre) defeating Nicola Bunt, Elsie Pinnigger and Marina Lee in the final. 

 

Candice holds the current British and English Women's Open Longboard Titles. She is considered one of Europe's top woman surfers, featuring often in fashion and outdoor magazine photoshoots, and universally liked for her humility and easy going nature.  More photos to follow.....

Another contest success for Quiver surfboards
