Pulled these off Blane Chambers Facebook , looks like he is doing his own custom range. Nice looking boards.

I've been waiting on a 9'7" ripper for about 6 months. Somethings not right. Hopefully Blane gets things sorted out. He comes across as a real genuine person committed to developing the performance of the stand up paddle board.

^^^^ Gizzie paid $1500 on a 12'6" PSH 6months ago and it's a no show I thought it was just an NZ thing . The industry needs to sort it's shizz out ,I had the same crap last year waiting for a Jimmy Lewis now we are both riding Naishes

Blane has freed himself up to be able to do his own line of customs in Hawaii.
He has always done customs in Hawaii, he just does them under his own label now.
Blane will continue to shape for Paddle Surf Hawaii.
Paddle Surf Hawaii moved to a new factory last year to introduce PVC Vacuum bagging into the range. It is hard to find factories that do this well, by hand.
Not long after the production of this factory got bought out by a larger company and we were unable to get boards for this season. Very frustrating for all!!
For those that managed to get their hands on the few boards that did come in (Hilly you fluked it!) it is evident that his new boards are at a totally new level.
His 10'6 ANY KINE is as loose as any of his Rippers!
These issues are being rectified and we apologise to all our loyal PSH customers..... and loyal you are!!!

Sorry AA but with the average build of my ripper it wouldn't last another season,
loyalty just goes so far!

Pity none around as they are a step up in design and construction.

....my question is "are the boards being sold & manufactured by boardworks under license to PSH coming from a different supply chain?"
I hope so

Wow!!! I'd have lost the plot ages ago if I'd paid 6 months in advance & still had no board.... That's inexcusable. I'd have thought they'd have apologized & returned your cash by now?

They did offer to refund his money at xmas , not sure what he was told as far supply goes doesn't sound good if you listen to AA , that was 50% deposit six months ago . If your going to ask for a deposit you need to come up with somthing Thanks for the heads up AA

Boardworks used to part own C4 and sold their share last year to focus on their core lines. Boardworks have been making certain PSH boards under license since 2009.
Check their website. They will be picking up more models in 2013.

Things happen at a slower pace over this side of the Tasman.....
maybe the charms of my Naish Hokua 9'10 are also quite consoling
