When Shane Stedman started making surfboards in his mum’s garage it was the early ’60s and his simple plan reflected the times. All he wanted was to make enough boards to support his surfing lifestyle. What he ended up doing was a whole lot more.

Shane and his mates became the legendary Shane Gang – a bunch of surfers who were also shapers, sanders, designers and glassers. A tight crew of mates who created the surfing lifestyle followed nationwide today.
