The DragonForce 65 has undergone a major transformation to bring the quality and appearance up the high standard set by its bigger brother the DragonFlite 95, without affecting the competitiveness of previous versions. New tooling for the hull sees an increase in hull strength while retaining the same shape and weight. Key rig fittings, the Gooseneck, Compression Strut, Masthead Fitting and Jib Boom front end fittings have been redesigned for maximum efficiency and easier assembly. The new version 6 now comes with 50 micron Mylar film sails with a clean new style. The improvements don't stop there, the digital rudder servo has been given a 10% boost in torque and improved electronics.

Surfing Mums & Dads

Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children. 

The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am. 

Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.

We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
