Circa ’1992”
Here’s a bit of history, back in the 90’s I started shaping RASTA surfboards in Barwon Heads.
I had transitioned from my popular label THROB surfboards .
We had a fantastic group of team riders that dominated the local competitions.
Some of those surfers unfortunately are no longer with us today.
I departed Rasta in 1998 and continued shaping under my own name and Eiji Shiomoto took the reins at rasta till his departure.
Ross still has the Rasta shop but no longer has a shaper or produces locally made boards, they just stock imports and production boards from interstate.
We are proud to be the longest running local Surfboard builder in the region and thank all of our customers, especially the ones that have continued to be with us since the Rasta days.
Enjoy the ride, Ride the Lightning ⚡️
