Young Jono got lucky recently and got to choose a new board. He eventually settled on the Surftech Bark 12.6

We searched everywhere for a BBQ to photograph it on but had to settle for the edge of the boardwalk. It obviously has a pretty flat rocker but we really wanted to see if it has a negative rocker up front leading into a piercing nose. Its a bit of an optical illusion but I think its there!!



We took it down to the marina and launched it on its maiden voyage.

Very stoked young man

More reach required (and maybe some fake tan)

Now I am really going to have to find time to build those racks!

Big thanks to Luke and the crew at SHQ for helping Jono out
Cheers Mel

Great to see more juniors getting into the Sup racing scene.
Train hard Jono, and looking forward to the day when you can come up north and challenge some of the kids up here!

Awesome stuff Jono,

looks like a smokin board now you will be out there training with the old man.

Great to see SHQ also supporting the juniors.

Thanks all,
I don't know a lot about technique but know enough to recognise that Jono will need some help over time to smooth out his stroke. I guess its a lot like swimming where there is always something to be worked on or done more efficiently. Probs best if it isn't always coming from his old man either

I don't think enthusiasm's going to be a problem...a handful of us hit HMB at first light one morning last week, to be greeted by Jono & Mel coming out of the water just finishing their session

Thanks Luke
Jono says "Sick"
