Simon Anderson Expands Into SUP Market

Walking On Water are proud to introduce a range of stand up paddle boards by two of the world's leading surfboards shapers; Simon Anderson and Luke Short (LSD). Simon Anderson needs little introduction as he has been at the forefront of surfboard design and innovation for the past 35 years. He revolutionized surfboard manufacturing in 1981 with his 3 fin “thruster” design and today it remains the industry standard for all wave riding craft.

His latest adventure is Stand Up Paddle Surfing and his new range “Stand Sure” has drawn on the years of research and development from Simon shaping for world champion surfers, to produce a stable yet performance range of stand up paddle boards. ‘Stand Sure’ is the family motto from the Scottish Anderson Clan, which he felt was the perfect way to sum up his boards.

Luke Short started his surfboard shaping career in 1992 under the guidance of Greg Webber and has since worked along side such shaping royalty as Maurice Cole, Rod Dahlberg, Al Merrick and Simon Anderson. He is now part of the “next generation” of shapers who are taking advantage of new technologies and is never afraid to think outside the square and push the boundaries of board design.

LSD’s Stand Up Paddle range are performance based boards, highly influenced by what he is developing with surfers such as Julian Wilson together with his own knowledge in the water.

Both ‘Stand Sure’ and LSD ranges are a high quality EPS Epoxy construction and they offer custom made stand up paddle boards here in Australia. The surf industry moves rapidly – don’t miss out on the opportunity to be apart the largest growing aquatic sport in the world. Including Simon Anderson and Luke Short in your line up will ensure you take part with quality, experience and high performance
