Big congratulations to Jenny Fugle who took home the new Blue epoxy 6'7'' which was given away at the Brisbane Boating and Fishing expo over the weekend. She was extactic to pick up the new stick but im guessing not half as excited as her son, who is inheriting the board. Congratulations guys and thanks to everyone else who put in an entry, better luck next year!

Primitive Surf's golden girl Tara Christie came sooo close to cleaning up in the opens women division at the Australian Surfing Festival in Coffs Harbour yesterday. She put in a mega performance by clawing her way out of the requalifying round, to knocking out last years winner in the semis and then falling just short of the win after getting pipped at the post in the final, after leading for most of the heat. The end result was fellow Sunny Coaster Dimity Stoyle 1st and Tara 2nd. Congratulations Tara!

On a more technical note we apoligise for the lack of photos of late but were having problems uploading. Were waiting on the techy's to come sort it out!

This year we have dropped a stall in at the Boating And Fishing Expo at the Convention Centre from Thurs 26th to Sun 30th. Drop in to the expo to score some special boat show discounts on surfboards, wetty's, colthing and accessories. Or even spend up big on a multi million dollar yacht, its all good!

You guys have been asking for it for a while now and we have been finally able to make it happen, 4 new firewires for the hire range bringing the total up to 6 different firewires to try.The most popular board in their range has got to be the dominator, very similar to a round tail version of our blackbird. We have a 6'0'' and a 6'4'' availble to test. This has definately had some excellent response from the customers who have already purchased one. We also have a new 6'2'' Taj model for hire and a 6'3'' Direct Drive. The Direct Drives are the newest technolgy in the firewire range, they feature interior carbon rods rather than the parabolic balsa rail, said to provide a slightly stiffer and snappier response. You dead set need a degree in aeroscience to get your head round these things (we will do our best job to explain what we understand!)

A massive thanks to Nev from Firewire and Brooko and the Quiky boys for an awesome and informative night on Wednesday. Thanks also to everybody else who braved the cold and joined in making for a great night. We were all treated, over a few beers, to a comprehensive run down of Quiksilver's freshest developments in the way of rubber, some brand spanking footage of Kelly ripping in the new wetty's in a recent swell on the Gold Coast and some free Quiksilver merchendise which is always well received. Nev also put on quite a show with his groundbreaking innovation in surfboards, the much hyped Firewires. He gave us a run through of the whole range (which we now have available in store) and trackled a heap of questions from the audience. All in all it was great night and we look forward to the next one!

Theres a couple of shots in the gallery for you guys who couldn't make it on Wednesday night, apologies as some shots are a little blurry. The photographer must have been getting stuck into the free beers!

Hey guys, i have just finished uploading some shots from Dale's recent boat trip in the Ment's.Were still waiting on a few unbeleiveable sequences from some of the other boys, which will be uploaded ASAP. But for now click here for some warm water eye candy to drool over.

Catch everybody here wednesday night at 6:00pm for the Quiksilver Wetsuits/ Firewire info night. Should be a good night!

HUX (8 JUNE 2009)

As many of you would have read in the latest Enews next Wednesday night the 10th, we will be having a comprehensive product night featuring Firewire and Quiksilver wetsuits. Nev Hyman will be here to answer any questions about Firewire surfboards which have been receiving heaps of hype. Following this evening Primitve Surf will provide a complete range of Firewire surfboards for sale so we can all surf like Taj.

Wednesday night will also see all the Quiky boys coming down to give us a run through of their 09 wetsuits. Wetsuit technology is evolving so quikly its hard to stay on top of it all and really easy to get confused, so come down and throw a few questions at the boys. Recently retired WCT campaigner Troy Brooks will also be making an appearance on the night.
Bring your friends and family as everybody is welcome!

All right guys and girls here it is. Most details have been finalized so click the link below to check out when you are surfing and who you are competing against. At this stage the forecast suggest we will have a diminishing south swell for the weekend but the positive side of that is the winds are forecasted to be a light SW for most of the weekend. Keeping that in mind we are farely confident in saying we will be running the comp on the open beaches somewhere between Perigian and Sunshine. We are just waiting to here back from the Noosa Boardriders as to where the best banks are. Prizes are being divided up over the devisions including, The Trip to Tonga with the 2nd person going for half price, 5 new sticks and the mens and womens rings have just been dropped off courtesy of Peter Gordon Jewellery, which look amazing ( come check them out as they will be displayed instore before the comp) and heaps more prizes.

There are still few spots available in the opens, womens and over 45's division so give us a call and we can hold you a spot untill you can get instore to fill out an entry form. Stay tuned for the final word on the location!

AJ and JK picked up their new sticks early last week on their way to the airport, turning their backs on the swell weve been getting here and stepping off the plane into some fun looking waves in Indo. The boys just sent through some shots of some waves they have been gettin over the last week on the east coast of Bali and the photos speak for themselves (check the gallery) the boys are ripping, the new sticks are looking good and the waves are pumping! Bring on the Bali season!

Remember to send in your travel shots so we can throw them up in the gallery and spread the surf travel stoke

The newest Primitive Surf T-Shirt has just arrived in store.It is definatley the most arty design we have ever made and came out looking unreal (check the print to the right).We used images from previous surf trips, Post Code Challenges and some of Reesy shaping. Were also waiting on the chicks version and a more corporate mens style which features our new logo. Simple but effective. Come try one on as the new material is super light and a great fit!

HUX (13 APR 2009)

Over the last few weeks we have asked some of you guys and our team to test the 2009 range of top end steamers. The top 3 were discovered and heres how they piled up.

#1 XCEL INFINITY rrp$474.95. This suit seems to fit everybody the best. The stretch is pretty similar across the board for the top three but this suit fits like a glove!

#2 QUIKSILVER CYPHER rrp from $479.95. You might have seen Kelly in this suit at Bells with the fluro green sleeves. Most people dropped the Quiky suit as runner up. Super stretchy and good fit for most body shapes. I have personally used one in the water and they keep all the water out and you warm as toast! 

#3 ONEILL PHSYCO 2 rrp$549.95. The Phsyco is one of the most popular suits every winter and this year most people rated it around third. An interesting point is it's the only suit in the top three to use a back zip (both the other wetty's use a chest zip entry). So for you guys not sold on the chest zip style then this is the suit for you. Very flexible and well sealed!

We have now over 1500 items of neoprene in store so come check em out for yourself

What a week of waves it has been. What a month of waves realy! Reesy and dale have had the ski out down at Currumbin mid week and been getting into some of the solid Easterly swell Jasper has graced us with. caostalwatch and Swellnet have got a heap of shots from Noosa through to Coolangatta. Ive been up the coast and scored really good waves at an amazing offshore left. Weve received some shots to from you guys and i have just thrown them up in the gallery but please keep them coming and i will add yours aswell. click here to check out the submitted photos and some shots Reesy and Dale got at Currumbin, like the one on the right side of the page.

Hows this shot that turned up this morning on the Sydney surf forecasting site AQUA BUMPS (if you check their website you will see the larger image of a Primitive die hard going for the early in Maroubra, Great shot!). Weve been sending boards to various parts of Sydney for a while now and one of our more famous customers down that way is Gyton Grantley who played Carl Williams on the original series of Underbelly. So if your down that way or somewhere else in Aus or even abroad and need a new board, just drop us a line or an Email and odds are we will be able to get a custom to you. As you guys probably no we have got a group of guys in Japan and Bali who we regularly send boards to and are now even currently researching to get a board to a customer in New Caledonia and one off to Ireland!
HUX (30 MAR 2009)

Stories have been flooding in about were was pumping when cyclone Hamish was in town. There heaps of waves on the points at Noosa and through Cooly, even Spot X turned it on for the boys in the Quiky Pro finals.But how is this little gem which was emailed through from Jeff Blackburn up north somewhere near Yeppoon. Jeff exact words were "most people belevie that we dont get much surf up here, Hamish hepled out."

Looking at the forecast for the next few days is looking really really really promising. The position of cyclone Jasper is perfect and we can expect some great waves over the weekend and through most of next week with the peak being around Tuesday/ Wednesday. If any secret spots come alive like Jeffs did, take a photo and send us through a quick email and we will give it a run on the website. We dont have to drop names either.

We also have some of last seasons stock at ridiculous prices like top end steamers from $450 down to only $250 (selected sizes though). Another thing worth noting is were holding some new wetsuit brands so come check it all out.

We Just received some good shots of Primitive team rider and ex ding dude Nick Vitko in Bali. He's currently doing a 3 month stint in various places throughout Indo. He's been keeping us all informed on whats been happening on the forum and sounds like he is on his way to Macaroni's after falling off the radar for a few days (due to some big nights out in Bali). But it seems like the trip is back on track and the boys are getting some fun waves. Stay tuned to the gallery for some more pics from Vitty's latest travels and also keep an eye on the forum for more insight into whats been happening.

Primitive Surf’s man on the ground in Japan Juddy sent through some photo’s of him a little while ago. There’s a 5 pic sequence of him at rivermouth beachie set-up that looks like it’s pumping (check out the gallery!). With the typhoon season just kicking in and some new boards in transit to them I’m sure we’ll see some more photo’s from the boys soon.
