Not much has changed...
This advert from 1982 pretty much says it all, and it is still as true today.
Nigel, Phil, Ben, Jason, Chris, and Daz (in process order)- still the best shapers, glassers, finishers, producing boards for progressive surfers throughout the UK and Europe...
Keep it up boys :)

Nigel in a fleshy little number...
Scan from Wavelength Magazine, 1988... Riding a logo-less Ocean Magic stinger, in a flesh coloured wetsuit as part of the "Surf" washing powder ad for UK TV shot in the Canaries at La Santa. Apparently Nigel was eventually "beached" from the shoot as Steve Daniels looked more like the actor... and so his stunt-double days were over. Photo: John Conway

Happy New year
2009 started with some epic surf with many spots in Cornwall at their all time best. Fistral was going off a few weeks ago, and it was great to see so many NS Boards out there.
Attached is an old advert from the days when Nigel wore fluro pink (like everyone else I might add). That's Spencer Hargreaves laying down that bottom turn by the way. Photo by the late great John Conway.
Happy New Year everyone.

Surf Expo 198?
If you know what this year was then please tell us. It was Alexandra Palace back in the 1980s - a few twin fins with the rear stabiliser on the wall and (yes, confession time) even a wind surfer or two! This scan came from Alex Williams - thanks Alex.
