machine guns


As you have probably guessed there are a few changes at the Surfline Surfboards Factory, Roger has purchased a *new* state of the art, Custom made (made by Miki especially for Roger's requirements) Shaping Machine, Now this is not for mass production, Simply another tool to help streamline the factory, So don't panic the handcrafted elements of the Surfline Surfboards is still alive and kicking, Roger and Matt are in the very early stages of programming, Fun times ahead, Micro*

this from that


It is always a challenge to relay how the boys transform Foam, Wood, Shell, Resin, Glass and other materials into Surfline Surfboards, But I love a challenge and so does Roger and The MATTador, This is Nick's new stick, Beautiful, More detail pics for you soon Nick, Micro*

side projection




The MATTador has fully skinned the Spray/Tint Stock longboard, Sanding coat and pinline/graphics to go, This is and will be one mean board, Nice work Matty, Micro*

secondhand speed

Nice Speed Dialer, Secondhand, Very nice price too, Check it out at http://secondhandies.blogspot.com/ Be fast, It will not last long in the rack, Micro*

tint/spray combo

Loving it MATTador, You clever boy, Surfline Surfboards, Spray, Tint, Glasser, Polisher guy is the business, Go MATT Go !

feedback is golden

Some things you just can't buy and great feedback is one of them, Talking to the boys (above Mark left, Hamish right) at The Bay yesterday about their Surfline Surfboards Speed Dialers the feedback was full tit stoke, They are loving the paddle power, Speed and carveability, Hamish reckons that with him going left and Mark going right they are the best advert for the Speeding Dialer, And he is right, You go you big speeding D*s, Micro*

future factory fun




Man made machine for man made crafts, The new machine is amazing, Micro*

tint stockie




Images from the next stock longboard resin tint lay up, The MATTador is tinting up a storm, Ideas are flowing as fast as the resin, He a clever chap, Micro*

free range



It is great to see The MATTador just going for it with his sprays, Tints and the combination of the two on the recent stock boards, This stockie is no exception, I will show you more of this tint job later but I just wanted to get this wicked Spray/Tint combo on the blog ASAP, I hope that Chris Moy is watching !, I am going a bit faster for you mate but it is hard to keep up with The MATTador sometimes, Micro*

repairs

Rad Repair, The MATTador is the ding king repairer, But Surfline are only repairing Surfline boards because they are so flat out, Micro*

fin 5

5 fin green machine for Steve Andrews, Micro*

blank bender


Roger makes use of the best of every blank, This glue up is a prime example of how Roger has increased the durability of the blank by making it fit closely to the shape of the finished board, This maximises it's strength and increases the lifetime of the board, Trent's Speeding Dialer* is no exception to the process, Roger may be a bit bendy but he is a clever bugger, Micro*

family profile

This nose profile runs in the family, The Andrew boys sticks, Shaped, Sprayed and ready for glassing, Micro*

stop taking the MIKI


The massive AB shaping machine is bolted to the floor, The MATTador is thinking about how hot he will look this summer and this guy (bottom pic), He is just taking the MIKI, But seriously, The master machine maker Miki is at the factory, Roger is fizzing, In fact I think he went pop today, Micro*

Hello Mr. America, Very recently a nice couple from America came to visit the Surfline factory, They said their son had told them that they had to visit the factory because 'They (us) make cool stuff', And so they did, They also said that their son was an avid fishnlog blog visitor, We would be keen to find this chap, Send us a comment if it is you, Micro*
