Here's a photo of my new 95L wave board being finished by OES. If any of you haven't ever bought an Aussie made board I highly recommend it.

There's Stone Boards in Gero, MoZ Customs in Gero & OES in Port Lincoln. If there's other shaper/brands I've missed in Australia please list them below. You'll get a higher quality product made to your specifications at often a cheaper price than a production board.

Production boards have their place however I think it's great to support quality Aussie made products where we can. Let's keep these guys in business & helps them pass on their knowledge to the next generation of shapers.

*I'm not sponsored by OES however Pete Ross did give me a discount on my board since I made a video which took me about 15 hours of filming and editing about his shop.

Nice looking board really like the graphics,and yes no matter your location in the world try to support the local craftsmen if possible.

My local shaper will only do foil boards now.
If the shipping wouldn't kill me I'd order an OES in a heartbeat however.
