Tommy Barrell

Age: 30
Name Nyoman Muditawan (Aka Tommy Barrell)
Location: Bingin, Bali, Indonesia
Board Dimensions:

5'10 x 17 1/2" x 2"1/16

5'8''x 18"x 2 1/8'' Scimitar. Hux hooked me up with this new board shape that Reesy was working on. I wanted a board for small beach break surf like Kuta, Padma St. We went 5'8''x 18x 2/18'' with a real pulled in swallow tail. I took purchase recently and went out on it straight away at 3-4 ft perfect Bingin. . Your onto something here Reesy. This board is so fast and holds so good in the barrell. I was worried it might skip out on me, but with the pulled in tail it gives me so much bite and release through carving turns. Best one yet! This board works great in fast barrelling waves and still performs well in slowish small beach breaks.

About Primitive Surf: I have been riding Primitive boards for the last 5 years and every year they get better, so fast and hold really good in the barrel. Keep up the good work Reesy.

About Primitive Surf: I have been Riding for Primitive for about 8 years now, at first i changed my board dimensions all the time, but once Reesy shaped me the MAGIC STICK (6'2" 18"1/4 2"1/4) I have not changed and that was 5yrs ago. Now I can't ride any other shapes, Primo boards just feel like they are a part of my feet. Reesy's knowledge has grown along with the team and the Primitive brand. I am proud to ride for such great people and on great equipment.

Craig has been really helpful with my boards, as I travel to many different locations he is able to share his knowledge and help shape boards that best suit my surfing style.

About Primitive Surf: I first starting riding primitive surf boards at the age of 15, my first board was a custom 5'10 with a Tom Carroll spray I got for christmas 2000. I'm currently riding a 6'2 rounded square thats suited for the waves of the sunshine coast. Craig's shapes are continually developing with each new board i order. I've ridden them in Indonesia for the last 3 seasons. I think Craig is really great to communicate with when i want boards for specific conditions, and he's a top bloke...
