We are happy to introduce Simon Anderson Surfboards into our brand portfolio. Simon's best selling surfboard designs can now be purchased through our custom board builder page.

Simon Anderson is one of the world’s elite surfboard designers, whose three-finned Thruster innovation revolutionized surfboard design in 1981.

He was a leading pro surfer in the late 70’s and early 80’s, finishing the season in the top 10 for three times and winning five World Tour events. He continues to shape surfboards for a wide and varied clientele, and is still producing contest-winning boards for the world’s best surfers.

Anderson proudly designed and produced magic boards for legendary athletes such as Kelly Slater (pictured above), Andy Irons, Mick Fanning, Cooper Chapman and Jay Thompson, among many others.

The Heritage Series thrusters are based on boards that Simon Anderson created and surfed in the formulative years 1981 to 83.

The range consists of three variations incorporating original design elements including flyers, beak nose, vee bottom, low smooth rocker and flatter deck with chunkier low soft rails. Simon has added some modern elements to the shape to slightly improve performance. These boards are meant to be surfed and include:

1. All-rounder Single Flyer Rounded Square tail based on the 81 Coke board. Flyer up 11”, dimensions 5’8 - 6’6

2. Small wave Double Flyer Rounded Square tail derived from the Bells 81 finals board. Flyer up 12” and 6”, dimensions 5’6 - 6’6

3. Step up Single Flyer Rounded Pin a good wave alternative 80’s custom shape. Flyer up 11”, dimensions 5’11 - 7’0

Heritage Series glassing on the Single and Double Flyer Rounded Square tail consists of 2 x 4 deck and 1 x 4 bottom while the Flyer Rounded Pin has added strength with a 6oz bottom. All boards are sanded finish with fin systems either FCSII or Futures and feature a small original 3 circle logo and period panel spray with various colour fades.
