The Shaun Tomson Tri Fin has extra width and thickness in the nose area and a flat rocker giving her plenty of speed in and out of the barrel. Has extra width and volume under the front foot, allowing you to get up on the nose without sliding and skipping in the tube. #surfing #surflegends #surfer #surflife #shaper #surfboards #surfboarddesign #surfboardshaping #surfdurban #surfhistory #surfingsouthafrica #surflife #surfboardfactory #surfshop | Safari Surfboards -Spider Surfboards

With a little help from his Spider Murphy craft, Shaun Tomson took surfing into a new realm at Backdoor Pipe and Off the Wall in the late 70s. This flashback shows him spearing through tubes in his section from Bill Delaney’s 1977 classic, ‘Free Ride’. Shaun named his own company ‘Instinct’ in 1979 because according to him “the best moment in surfing is riding inside the tube, and the best tubes happen when you are relying on instinct.” Spearheaded by Shaun and new partner Cameron Williams, @ins

Shaun Tomson took off on a 15-foot wave at Pipeline—the most dangerous wave in the world. Halfway through, the reef shallowed and the water turned black. He knew if he wiped out, he might not come back up. Fear hit hard. And for a second, he thought it was over. But instead of freezing, he pushed forward. Accelerated. And the wave launched him over the danger and out the other side. It became one of the best rides of his life. He didn’t overcome fear by pretending it wasn’t there. He acknowledge

Surfing makes my life better... Your attitude shapes everything. In his best-selling book “Man’s Search for Meaning,” holocaust survivor and pioneering psychiatrist Viktor Frankl wrote of attitude in relation to his experiences in the Nazi death camp Auschwitz: "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms: to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Each and every one of us has lived through times of heartbreak and de

Take Me Home After my wife and I lost our beautiful son Mathew, it was very difficult for me to find my way back into the surf. This is the moment I paddled out alone into the mist at my home break – going home. Here is a little song I wrote about that time and the future… I hope you enjoy “Take Me Home…” Photo: by Sammy Olson | Shaun Tomson

BANZAI PIPELINE Some time back I wrote about a wave at Pipeline in 1977. Here is an excerpt: I was riding a new line and I stood in a wide powerful stance while I raced forward, leaning into the wall of water curving around my body, my weight balanced on my heels and my back foot. My front foot was at a 45-degree angle to the stringer, the heel of my back foot pressing down on to the tail of the board, driving the rail into the wave face to maintain my angle close to the wall away from the break

"There will always be another wave" I’ve surfed some of the best natural breaks in the world. Places where the ocean decides everything. I’ve also surfed in wave pools, where the waves arrive on schedule, one after another, like clockwork. They’re very different experiences, but in a wave pool, everyone knows the program. You take your turn, you paddle back out, and you wait for the next one. There’s no fighting for position. No dropping in on someone else’s ride. No snaking around the back of s

J-Bay and the Endless Summer Tomorrow should be an epic day to end the WSL J-Bay Corona Pro. Here is a memory... In the mid-60's, Bruce Brown's "The Endless Summer" exploded across movie screens in the USA, igniting every surfer's dream of finding the perfect wave somewhere over the horizon. The film revealed surfing to middle America and at the time became the biggest grossing documentary ever. Robert August and Mike Hyson, the two surfers who starred in the film became famous, and the film is

Enduring Soul Jeffreys Bay is one of those places that represents the soul of surfing. Exhilaration and intensity melded into a challenge to find the elusive pure and perfect line across its perfect waves. High-speed, long, winding walls held up by a howling South Westerly wind. Truly a place of dreams and a must-surf destination for surfers across the world. That’s why the news this week that the World Surf League’s 2026 Championship Tour will not include Jeffreys Bay hit hard for so many of us

Winning is easy. Losing is hard.” That was one of the best leadership lessons my Dad ever taught me. ​ When I was a young boy competing in surf contests, he drilled two rules into me: “The judge’s decision is inscribed in stone.” “When you win, win like a gentleman. When you lose, lose like a man.” No arguing. No excuses. No blame. No tears. If I won, I was expected to stay humble. If I lost, I was expected to show respect. Shake your competitor’s hand. Squeeze it hard, so they know you are ther
