About
Many of my original shapes and R&D projects were donated to Christian Surfers’ NZ, who took them on outreach missions to many of the Pacific Islands. Hence the name. Seemed very appropriate!

PERSONAL STORY:
Born and raised in Durban, South Africa and have always loved the ocean. After I was instantly hooked on surfing in 1985 I knew that this was something I wanted to take up but only followed my dream many years later in 2006. Building boards became more consistent after moving to New Zealand and the famous left point breaks of Raglan became my new local.
