WIN AN ARCHER SURFBOARDS 9’4” NOSERIDER

Archer Surfboards is a new brand designed, shaped and finished by young Northern Beaches local Archer Drinan, who’s been building his reputation, boards and skills alongside local legends like Steve O’Donnell, Simon Anderson, Mike Psillakis and Greg Webber. 

Archer works at the Rhino Laminating factory in Brookvale - and with that crew it’s always all about quality. He builds a range of longboards, mids and shortboards, “designed to bring out the best in your surfing”, and his boards have been ridden and tested along the East Coast by locals, mates, and a few current WSL Longboard tour competitors, including fellow Manly locals Tully White and Declan Wyton. 

At 9’4” x 22 3/4” x 3”, the Archer Noserider features a cedar stringer and a clear laminated deck with a khaki green, grey abstract on the bottom and rails. It runs with a boxed single fin and is designed to sit in trim and keep you in the pocket. “A single teardrop concave up front and wide square tail give you more time on the nose, and the soft 50/50 rails and subtle rolled bottom complement a traditional longboarding style.” 

A beautiful thing from a fresh talent - and some Aussie PLB subscriber is going to own this Archer Noserider by next issue.
