johnny hits the gold coast

Here is Johnny catching a wave on the Superbank in Rainbow Bay (bottom pic) and almost on the nose at Currumbin on his wooden board, These great pics were sent to me last week but I have had trouble with my email so they are a tad old news but well worth blogging, What a great trip, Awesome to see Carm and Johnny at The Wooden Boards day in AU, Micro*, PS These shots are by Carm, She may wear tea-cossies on her head but she takes a mean photo !

the passing of our friend 'Chops'

Companion of Roger and great friend 'Chops' aka 'Dork Dog' has passed away at the age of 23, Chops has been with Roger for 19 years so yesterday was a very sad day for Roger and Lulu, Chops will be missed by all who have visited the factory, Seen him at the beaches of the Bream Bay region and by all the BBS members, We the Micro* family of Whangarei are thinking of you, Roger and Lulu, Micro*

BBS is Aussie

Our boy John has represented The BBS crew in Aussie at The Wooden Boards day, John and Carm came over for the event with John's handmade wooden longboard, John and Carm had a great time, John surfed the board on some of the Gold Coast breaks with much success and his stokeOmeter is off the charts, Great for Roger and I to see them there, BBS and Surfline made a big impact on the day, Micro*, (the image at the top shows John's board on display with Roger's four wooden speed dialers, John had great feedback about his wave craft)
