We were quite delighted to read all the nice things the Gentlemen over at Surfing Life had to say about the 'Bender' model we sent them to trial in the board test. Magazine at your local newsagent now or see the board they rode in full detail over at the Surfing Life website here

Couldn't wish for much better feedback than that!

Surfing Life board test

This year marks the first time for Simmo shapes to get involved with a Magazine board test. The details involved two specialist riders, Ryan Callinan and Heath Joske along with Nick Carroll  to test the boards in some of the best waves in the world, Telo Island. With this in mind the decision on which model to build from our range was easy, the 'Bender' model. This is one of the boards developed closely with Jay Phillips for exactly that, high performance surfing in good waves. From all reports the board was 'one of the top performers'. Read all about it when the Surfing Life magazine goes to print early in the new year.

Young Japanese ripper and all round nice guy Dai wako has had a big yeah since moving back to Japan from Australia in March. A win and a second place in the JSPA curcuit(Japan Pro tour) since securing his Pro liscence and more. Not at all sure of a single word the story in Japanese Surfing Life tells below, but you can be assured it's all positive.
