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.

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.

Drop us your comments and feedback, and if you subscribe to our mailing list, we're known for offering specials to our mailing list.

3degrees fundraiser report

Our first 3degrees fundraiser was held on Saturday 13th Sept, with $500 being raised to abate around 17 tonnes of carbon.  We pulled this night together very quickly so we're pretty happy with the outcome.

The money has already gone to Greening Australia. 17 tonnes of carbon equates to:
- 5 return flights to Vancouver from Melbourne; or
- 8 return flights from Melbourne to Japan; or
- 8 return flights from New York to Zurich; or
- 68 return flights from London to Zurich
That's a lot of snow-bound flying sunk.

It was a super fun night, and a massive thank-you must go everyone who attended and donated money to the cause. Equally, thanks to PeaCe and the crew at Silverski/Oishii Go! for looking after us - thanks PeaCe, Wenzel, Easy/Ez (spelling, sorry!), Cass, Jaye, Whit etc.  The night could note have been a success without their support, so thanks guys!
Drawing the winner (Dan Marsh, Heresy/Tim M, PeaCe)

Robbie is stoked. He was riding one of our demo boards and really loved it, so was very, very happy to win this (though you can't really tell).

DJ Thomas the Terror - people were stoked Tom was back (see the photos, we cut up the dancefloor so hard we broke it).

Whitney Houston - it's how we rolled. Tim ("I will mind-freak you"), Nicola, Elyse, Tommy, Brett.


I only took a couple of photos as I was flat out running around doing stuff (not drinking, I swear), here are some I snapped from the weekend and night.

Tom (left) was our DJ for the night. He was awesome.  Brett is our Falls rep.  I saw him partying pretty hard.  Ah, the life of a Heresy rep, it's all sunshine and lollipops!

I think Brett made a bad joke here. Dude, that stunk! Tom is looking at me and (probably thinking); "Dude, did that just happen?"

Then I made an actual funny joke and everything was ok.

Here we are setting up. Dan from The Red Eyes is sussing something interesting out - perhaps the overly complicated raffle book. Stevie is rocking a pretty bright Heresy headband. I think he thought it was a 70s night. Maybe he was going for the best green outfit award. Close Stevie, but the red wrecked it.

Here we see a young lady who got herself tickets to everything and an anti whaling t-shirt describe the fish she caught the other day to Packy.

Packy once again gets his head (his mum would say it's lovely, but I remain unconvinced) in a photo.

Gary and Nathan are from WA. They had a tremendous time and my rabbit spotlight caught them busting some pretty awesome dance manoeuvres.

And (I think) this is Nicola from Falls cutting the rug up with some pretty rad style.
