The Hijackers
For those into their nostalgia, the Sunova Cult thread did get me thinking.....
Over the 9 years I have been on Seabreeze we have seen a lot of boards and brands dominate the forum, some to go on and proper others to fade into oblivion.
Everyone will have a different take, and some board brands dominated more than others.
Here are some that stick in my mind.
C4 Waterman 2007-
This was the brand was the king when I started. Anyone remember the total domination at the Noosa Festival in 2008?
They bought the whole team out from Hawaii. The end was nigh when the local rep criticised DJ.
I cannot recall anyone on this forum getting flamed that bad.
Paddle Surf Hawaii Rippers 2009-
Who could forget Blane Chambers and his 9'3 Ripper and 12' gun.
[b]Laguna Bay and the Dogman 2009-
[/b]Tully was a pioneer and putting The Dogman on his boards produced some of the best videos I have seen on this forum.
Simon Anderson and Luke Short boards 2011-
There was a lot of hype around these boards when they were launched
DTM customs 2011-
Who could forget those green machines. Two mates - Dan Cleary and The Goatman launch a brand and every ripper wanted one.
Paddle Surf Hawaii Hull Rippers 2012-
One board brings down a company.
Laird 2013- 2014
I think other than the Sexy Girls thread that Jacko started the Laird thread was one of the longest I can remember
Who could forget Laird Panther board!
Deep/Minions 2014
Total domination for over a year.
Sunova 2015-
My money is on this one hanging around longer than most.
JP, Starboard, Fanatic and Naish have always been there. I dont recall a year when either one dominated though. Tell me I'm wrong DJ!
There are many more I'm sure. These are just the ones that I remember.
