TYRN-ON A NEW DAWN IN THE CHAMBERS OF CJ NELSON
lachlan leckie
Ladies and gentlemen and post corporate surfers of the 5th coming in surfboard riding – we are on the threshold of a dream.
Glad you could make it. Nice to see you at this…blissful place.
A radical change has taken place.
Mark CJ Nelson, from Santa Cruz in Northern California is one of the most respected surf icons of the post dogging era. He has been the benchmark for log ridders around the globe, a master of tasteful switch foot nose ridding and trickery that is equally matched by his wyild yet precise on edge fade backs and hard stabs.
Respectfully, CJ has kept to the fringes of commercial long boarding and built his own gutter punk style in and out of the water; one that has helped liberate the current trend of "Do what you want surfing".
CJ has now returned proudly to the scene, refreshed and well dial'd and bearing a new range of equipment, built here in Australia by Ian Chisholm of the highly respected South Coast Surfboards label.
To accompany these fine surf craft CJ also approached the Salty Merchants to manufacture CJ's favourite all time templates. 4 templates in total, including 2 hatchet fins and 2 Pivot fins will be on the menu and the first run are currently being machine cut to perfection here in Australia.
The fins will come stock with CJ's signature boards but also be available for individual sale on the Salty Merchants web store or accredited bricks and mortar establishments. Stay tuned with the hip kids for the release of the 1st limited run - expected August 1st!
Fin images up soon - Some final colours and details still to be confirmed!
