When Shane Stedman started making

surfboards in his mum’s garage it was

the early ’60s and his simple plan

reflected the times.

All he wanted was to make enough

boards to support his surfing lifestyle.

What he ended up doing was a whole

lot more. Shane and his mates became

the legendary Shane Gang

– a bunch of surfers who were also

shapers, sanders, designers and

glassers.

A tight crew of mates who created

the surfing lifestyle followed nationwide today.
