Merrick's Longboards welcomes you! Merrick's longboards prides itself on the quality of the boards we build and great customer service. The reason we've lasted through the last number of years with the influx of 'pop outs', mass produced boards, flooding Australia is due to one main thing...We offer surfers a totally hand crafted board which will suit their needs. We don't offer a showroom with a hundred different boards in stock or unbeatable low prices. What we do offer surfers, is the choice to build them the exact board they want which just about no-one else can do anymore. I've always prefered Single fin Longboards, even after trying 3 fin Longboards many years ago. I work with different rail shapes, thicknesses, rocker lines and fins to achieve the results the customer wants. Custom sprayed designs in the colours they want, choice of wet rubbed finish or high gloss resin polishes. We build every board with 1st quality Ocean Foam surfboard blanks, FGI resins and Aerialite 6oz fiberglass cloth. We put in many hours of work, with attention to detail. My boards were (and still are) only glassed with 6oz cloth. Two layers on the deck and 1 layer underneath. Genuine 8oz and 10oz Volan cloth is optional. My Longboards, Mini-mals and Shortboards are all built the same way, with top quality materials and many hours and attention to detail. I’m self-driven to produce the highest quality workmanship in anything I do. Subsequently, my customers are usually amazed at the quality and performance of the finished product. If a customer has been surfing a 'cheap' board, and then buys a handcrafted board, they will never go back. There is no comparrison to the quality or performance and this is what the board will give back to the surfer. I offer a range of surfboards and styles, from the timeless plain white, to detailed sprays, Resin tints, pigments and extras like timber nose and Tail blocks, Timber fins, Balsa ‘D’ fins, Resin Pin lines and just about anything else you’d want, I can do. I have a vast array of translucent colours including Violet, Dark blue, Electric blue, Olive, Greens, Yellows, Reds, Orange, Magenta, Deep Wine, Emerald and many more. All of my Nose and Tail blocks are hand made by myself from solid Australian timbers. My aim was and still is to craft some of the highest quality Longboards, Shortboards and Mini-mals available, which will last for years and be great to ride. I put many hours into each board which is now a rarity. My goal has always been to build surfboards with one main word in mind, FUN! Hope you enjoy my site. Brad Merrick
