Peter here from Buckshot Surf Company, the designer and developer of T.U.B.S. The Utility Bucket System. Just to keep you guys in the loop, the development and subsequent manufacture of this design is based solely in Australia (around the Newcastle region). I have been given approximately 50 years of water time from grommy to senior surfer status( still on a pointy board). Development of such products are a way of giving back to surfing through supporting a number of local board riders clubs and young individuals by helping financially with sponsoring and prize giving. Australian surfers helping Australian surfers. Thanks.
