2009 Boards

Hey crew, well we are pretty stoked out on the 2009 boards. We're keeping the range tight and using the unnnbelievable talents of our Collab peeps - this is the kick off of our long dreamed-of Art Incubator (more on that later).

Both these designs have the brand ethic (and what we believe in) intrinsically woven into the design.

All boards are rocking 1 year manufacturing defect warranties, sintered 7500 bases, triax top sheets, rockwell 48 edges, our sweet timber sidewalls...why is timber so rad? POP! SNAP! CRRRRACKLE!....therefore more awesome. And we've got banana boards this year, but we're calling it Smile. Why? Because when you're floating that nana on some pow and spinning a two-seven onto that box, you're going to SMILE.

Developed in collaboration with Messy Design, the Amaze celebrates the amazing creature that is the shark. Scary? - yes. Amazing? - YES! We're killing this being at a rate of around 200 million PER YEAR...and why? For sustainable feeding of humans? Oh no. These animals are being pulled into boats, having their fins cut off and being thrown back into the sea; where they sink the bottom - unable to swim - and drown and/or are fed upon by other fish. Sounds fantastic.


You check out more about this at Sharkwater.com.
Watch the trailer below.


Heresy is pretty intent on helping reduce stupid, ridiculous carry on like this, so 5% of ALL sales of these boards are going to Sharkwater, so Rob and the crew can keep working toward protecting these beautiful beasts.

Seriously, I LOVE this board. Even though I am pretty not-stoked of sharks when I'm surfing, they don't need to be slaughtered. I have to throw down some serious props to Messy Design on this one, those guys have some unreal chops and design skills to pay the bills. Thanks Messy girls and boys, we love you long time. Sharks love you long time too.

Sharky (not Fergal), is coming in a 146, 153, 156, 159, and longer by order (drop ship 2 week turnaround). Bananas are by order only, and we can custom-make the board and tweak it so you can get some serious tweakage off sweet jumps.

The second board, which we've called We Love This Earth...what can we say? Kat has done a RAD job on this one. We all love this Earth, right? ... RIGHT? It's the only one we at Heresy know about, and we're pretty much in love with this planet, and don't really want to see it chopped up, so 5% - in addition to our 1% For the Planet commitment - is going to Greening Australia for carbon abatement and biodiversity programs.



WLTE is mainly for the chicas, but I personally will be rocking one. These come in 146, 149, 153 and we might have a few 156s floating around.

So there you have it crew. Buy one of these collector's editions, help save the sharks and save the world, and we're going to throw in a free tee for whichever one you get.


These boards will probably fly, and will be a collector's item, and will certainly be in our exhibition (more on that on another day), so keep your eye on here, and on the store, for their release around Jan 2009. We'll actually have a few in a fortnight, so if you're interested, drop us an email to see if you can snaffle one.
