It seems Australia always gets the goods first when it comes to new products. Most brands already have their 2008 board range ready in Oz. Let’s have a quick look at what’s new for this year:
The NMD ‘08 range includes a couple hull concave bottom boards, the famous Player and Winny pro models and few more models. Science just released its new ‘08 boards as well, with a nice Thomas Robinson pro model, the now famous Science 7, plus more cool models. All VS boards are now available with 3 sick pro models: PLC, Hardy & Rawlins. We tested the Hardy board a few weeks ago by the way: Hardy test. Peep the Nomad ‘08 range on their updated website. They have 3 pro models this year: M. Lacky, B. Thurston & C. James. Morey has released its ‘08 range too with a Botha model, a Dixon model and a Bunting model. Peep the whole range here: Morey ‘08 website. BZ has a new site as well, which we talked about the other day with 3 pro models too: Hubb, Player, Marquina. LMNOP also has 3 pro models this year, with the McFly board, the Skipper board and M. Novy’s board. Also check the new 4PLAY range here (PDF catalog) and Manta range here (PDF catalog).
If you want a good custom board instead of a standard stock board we strongly recommend to have your baby shaped by QCD or Funkshen or 4Play if you’re in Oz. If you’re in the US, go for TOOBS, Vortex or CustomX/CARTEL/JL. In South Africa, ask Alistair Taylor Designs: ATD. All those shapers know what they’re doing and will definitely listen to you and your needs when asking for a custom shape.
We hope this quick ‘08 boards preview will be useful! For more info on boards, board construction or shape contact us or contact the brands directly.

…the temperature in your car on a beach parking lot on a sunny day can go all the way up to 50-60 C° (122-140 F°) ! Imagine now what will happen to your board if you leave it in your car all the arvo ! Stop the massacre: take your board(s) outta your car and keep it with you, it will be less hot, wherever you are than it is inside the car. Note that direct sun heat is the worse thing ever. Always put a towel or something over the board. In the summer avoid riding dark-colored boards, the foam will get hotter faster. (Black boards, Navy boards…). Yes, all the pros have black boards and even on their trips to puerto escondido and indo they ride black boards but unlike you they dont pay for their boards. Ha ! White, light blue and yellow boards (or any light color) are the way to go for long-lasting summer boards.
