The Hall Way

The Hall Way

Not wanting to let the foam dust settle in the shaping bay we've once again been graced with another shaper out back lately, this time heralding from San Diego, Josh Hall. We think that one of the great things about Josh, is the fact that he's taking the ti...

Matt 'The Greaser' Chojnacki

Matt Chojnacki aka “The Greaser” aka “Chono” and if our a fan of Instagram like we know you all are, “The Wax Head”, is one hell of a multileveled good guy… Fact. Over the past few weeks we’ve seen of fare share of people who stop at “the Temple” for a bee...

Set out to do

Set out to do

Indonesians are, on the whole, an incredibly accommodating and accepting race of peoples. It took us only hours, far less than days, before we felt at home. We had our shack, our base of operations and we’d sit around out the front as life paraded by, delvi...

I need a Roadie

I need a Roadie

A road trip can be a mini extension of matedom. It’s own little eco system if you will. When you get a group of like-minded guys they can ingrate themselves with each other so much that even after a few short days, move with a single purpose. Same direction...

What we’re dealt

What we’re dealt

We may not all be here to make history but we can live our lives so that we create our own. Adventure is the key. Alone or with likeminded. We’ve, as a rag tag group of vagabonds, come to realise the ease in which trips away make us feel that history is in ...

Putting theory to the test

Putting theory to the test

The relationship between a shaper and surfer is an ongoing conversion, a dialogue if you will, that sees a lot of feed back, testing and development. Chris Garrett and Jason Salisbury have been working on the finless project for some time now, with the late...

Taking in the Bratstyle

Taking in the Bratstyle

Wasn’t all work and no play while in Japan for last weeks Greenroom Festival. We had a little down time left so rather than resting on our laurels we figured it was an ideal opportunity to drop in on old time friends and like minded individuals over at Brat...

Hindsight… A Beautiful Thing

Hindsight… A Beautiful Thing

Now the dust has settled and the hangovers abated…somewhat, we wanted to go back over an important phase of Deus 9’ & Single Log Fest 2012. The Fish Fry… Between us, you and a lamppost, we had absolutely no idea of where to start with this one. So being...

Snap, crackle and pop

Snap, crackle and pop

Every time we have a big event at the Deus Temple we like to open up the Photo studio to take portraits of the night. Something about that moment in time. The place, people and the various lubrications are in a word…intoxicating. As it was again on Sunday n...
