  • Absolutely! Each of my boards is shaped to suit different stages of surfing - whether you’re just starting out or looking to step things up. Here’s a quick guide:

    • Milkshake Longboard 🍦 – Perfect if you’re brand new and want something stable, cruisey and forgiving. Easy to paddle, catches waves early, and gives you heaps of glide to build confidence.

    • Brown Sugar Mid-Length 🍯 – A great step once you’ve got the basics down on a minimal or longboard. Still forgiving and paddles well, but shorter and more responsive so you can start turning and progressing.

    • Flow Fish 🐠 – Best once you’re confident with popping up and trimming along a wave. Super fun, fast, and playful in smaller surf.

    If you’re just starting out, most people go for the Milkshake or a slightly bigger Brown Sugar. Both will help you progress while still keeping surfing fun (which is the whole point!).

    ✨ Not sure which one’s best for you? Flick me a message with where you surf and what you’re hoping to get out of your board, and I can recommend the right model and size.

  • Yes – but it’s not about being better or worse, it’s about approach and style. Women often bring a different rhythm to surfing because of natural body mechanics: a lower centre of gravity, more flexibility through the hips, and often a smoother sense of balance. Where some guys might rely more on power and muscle, girls tend to draw cleaner lines, use timing, and lean into flow.

    That’s why I shape boards with a mix of ease, glide and responsiveness – so you’re not fighting your board, you’re working with it. Models like the Milkshake and Brown Sugar are designed to help you catch waves early, build confidence, and surf with style – which is what it’s all about.

    Being a woman myself its been great to create these boards with confidence knowing they work well.
