Hi guys,
I had a good chat and laugh with Bean who runs Balin Surfboards.
Heaps of funny stories from the 70's and 80's.

They also do some Nat Young boards, which are rare in standard stringered construction. It's 9'1 x 22"3/4 x 3".
Over the other side on The Mornington Peninsula, I kept seeing these rope doors. Never seen them over this side. Could make them yourself... Or call this guy.
