The Astro 69 Egg
The 69 Egg is a favourite of Gary's - a classic shape that he first resurrected from surfing's colourful past back in 1995.
With its plan shape originating from a 1969 Bennett ‘Gem’, it has a flatter rocker, low entry in nose, flat to subtle roll, or 'dome', in tail.
Since it also possesses good nose-riding ability - this board is the perfect all-rounder.
Fast & snappy - for those who like that retro feel...
Great in small to medium waves; all conditions.

9" hand-made fibreglass 'Greenough-style' fin.
