A while ago I posted an image of Ben & Millie with their new boards. They sent me some images and some footage of Ben on his channel bottom. (Looks like they're having fun)!
Bowie also had some footage of a couple of nice barrels he got on his channel bottom.
Channels excel in clean hollow waves. It's all about the increased flow, the rail channel gives to the long side of the foil, on the rail fin. This generates hold, pulling the fin into the face of the wave, in the same way the long side of the foil on an aeroplanes wing pulls it up into the sky.
They are hyper-sensitive to turbulence in the same way though. Turbulence interrupts the hold. You would have felt it in a plane at some stage. The same thing happens to your channel bottom when it hits turbulence in the water.
That's why they are best in clean, hollow waves.
Happy surfing! Cheers Millsy.

A couple of boards for good waves, Ben is off to G-Land, then the Mentawai’s. He wants to challenge himself, so he’s got a channel bottom. Its happy place is in the barrel, and going straight up and down in the pocket. They love a sucky, fast wave, not for the faint hearted.
Channel bottoms are a personal favourite of mine; it’s been a while since I’ve made one. It brought back lots of memories of when I was young and full of energy and enthusiasm.
Thanks for ordering one Ben, I hope you have as much fun as I did.
Millie, has a 5’9 x 20” x 2’ ¾” round square tail, epoxy with a single concave in the tail. It’s good for small waves around here, but it’s maxed out on a head high wave.
She’s going to the Mentawai’s, so I’ve made her a step-up board. It’s 5’11 x 19’1/4” x 2’5/8” round tail. Less volume in the tail, I’ve shifted the concave forward. It splits to double in the tail. The rails are similar but more refined nose and tail.
The idea is to create a big sister to her board for small waves, as the power in the waves increase the small wave board ends up creating too much lift in the tail.
Her body weight ends up centred over the tail to pin it down, thus robbing her of the ability to drive through her rails. At this point its time to swap to her big sister board.
The waves have more energy now. That compensates for the reduced volume in the tail, and the concave forward is creating more life under her front foot, than in the tail. The balance is now on the front foot allowing her to drive through the rails and attack the more powerful waves with confidence.
I hope you have an awesome time, Millie.
So, these are the things we talk about to create the right board for you and what you want to do. Happy surfing!
Cheers Millsy.

The images are of boards I’ve made recently with personal decals.
One is the display board for the Beachfest vintage & classic car show at Caloundra which was held from 27 – 31 May 2026.

The other is a Captain Goodvibes, it’s an option that’s available to everyone.

Get your image printed on the appropriate rice paper to be glassed permanently on your new board. These were printed by acid rip printing, Sydney.

Cheers, Millsy.

As it turns out this is the last Beach Beat surfboard ever made. It’s a 6’ 5” channel bottom single fin custom for Ben. He’s off to Indo for 6 weeks.
Ben, I hope you have lots of fun, drawing traditional lines in good quality waves seems like a fitting end for an iconic brand.
For the last 25 years I’ve been supplying Beach Beat with a range of stock boards for our conditions and custom orders for just about everything you can imagine.
I just turned 62 and I made my 1st surfboard when I was 12, so I can say, “I’ve been making surfboards for 50 years.” It’s been my job since I was 17; 45 Years professionally.
I have experience with everything, single, twin, tri, quad, fins, deep channels, concaves, vees, flats, kneeboards, fish, mid length, mini mals, twins etc, high performance mals, traditional nose riders (logs).
If you can imagine it, I’ve probably made it at some stage or other. While I can’t make you a Beach Beat board anymore. I can make you whatever you want personally, under my smiley face logo.
It usually goes like this, you show me what you’ve been riding, tell me what you do and don’t like about it. We discuss the various changes and what affect they would have and we come up with a plan for your new one.
Let me know if you’re interested. Cheers Millsy.
Short Boards 5’ to 6’ from $700.00, 6’ to 7’ $800.00.
Mid Length 7’ to 8’ $900.00, 8’ to 9’ $1050.00, 9’ to 10’ $1200.
