Shaped by Marcie O'neilL
Marcie began his story in board factories at the old Aloha factory back in 1989.
He used his artistic eye to start as Aloha’s airbrush artist at a time when nearly all boards had colour. After taping up literally thousands of rail bands you start to understand the subtleties of foil, tuck, rocker and each boards unique personality.
From there it was a natural transition to making his own boards, then in time he became sole designer and shaper at Aloha. This happened gradually over a period of 27 years.
Marcie started surfing in the early 70’s and has for the last few years been revisiting the boards he grew up on. This range is a reflection of that experience.
Based in Manly, Australia and regularly travelling up the coast for less crowded waves.
CONSTRUCTION: Now available in polyurethane blank with poly resin for that 70's Gordon Clark planted feel.
OUTLINE: A slightly fuller template throughout give this 2 +1 HP log a revisionist look but with performance feel.
CONTOURS AND RAIL: A fuller low performance rail combines nicely with a smooth almost 50/50 rocker. A subtle concave in the nose opens up into soft rolled V into a mellow elevated double concave in front of fins then V out through tail. Speed and flow.
