Ok, so we have nothing against the men in our lives, quite the opposite. We love our dads, grandads, uncles, brothers and more and don’t want to get into a gender battle. Sisters are blazing a trail in the surf industry. We are bringing feminine into a traditionally masculine industry and we are loving it and so will you!

Like so many of you, we realized very quickly that getting a wet 9.6ft longboard in and out of a surf sock was a nightmare tug of war resulting in a 20 min battle that brought up memories of trying to get into jeans 2 sizes too small. Already obsessed with longboard design from her budding shaping career, Gill then roped in local mother and super sewer Abby to help her bring her new idea to life.

Gill is one of a handful of female longboard shapers worldwide. Mentored on the Sunny Gold Coast by veteran shaper Richard Harvey. She is passionate about educating women around how the right board can make you a better surfer just as much as the wrong board can make your surfing more challenging. Gill regularly blogs her shaping journey with lots of tips for finding the right slide for you.
