Name, age, sex location?


"Darren Handley, 46 years young and I come from Kirra on the Gold Coast and this is where I grew up and spent most of my life.

I’ve been shaping for 22 years and I love surfing Kirra, Snapper and D-Bah."


Inspirations, motivations, desires and perversions?


"Originally I was an electrician by trade, after my four year apprenticeship I dropped it, went on the on the dole and chased my surfing dream.

Turns out I wasn't so good, it didn’t work out, and my parents told me to get a job ... Murray Bourton from the infamous Pipedream Surfboards was advertising for someone, I got the job and started out cleaning the floor.

He taught me how to glass and sand, and gradually a bit of shaping, before eventually I ended up managing his business."

By the sounds of it, both the UK and australia have lame 'indie' folk, and that's worse than any of it.

Hmm... we always have and we thank you for them. Someone had to appreciate them. But your great country has now moved on...to what exactly? Jason Derülo? There's one lead I hope we don't follow. Perhaps the old dart should stick to importing the Minogue sisters. You sent us your unwanted...we'll send you ours. Glad you're so accommodating.
