Whale themed surfboards

JAXON Surfboards is soon to be releasing a range of whale themed surfboards around July 2012... just in time for summer! A sneak peak of the latest boards can be seen below:






Awaiting sand and spray job... this lil beauty is The Orca - measures 5'10" x 22" x 2.5" with a twin fin set up. Steady continuous rocker with a lot of volume pushed forward so you can ride this chestnut right up on the nose. 










The 'Beluga' 7'4 x 23" x 2 3/4" Single fin. Plenty of volume around the chest allows for plenty of paddling speed and the reduced length optimises maneuverability. Great board for small sluggish summer waves. 

 Deep single concave with sharp square tail
 Glassed with 6/4oz and hot coat applied
More models and pictures to follow.....

Code red - Billabong Pro 2011


It tells the story of the 2011 Billabong Pro Tahiti, a World Tour event that was placed on hold due to a dangerously huge swell bearing down on epic break Teahupo'o.

Luckily, surfers Laurie Towner and Dylan Longbottom were there to help tell the tale.
