Dearest followers,
I feel like a know you all personally and I cannot thank you enough for the support you have shown me in establishing Sixfish. Whilst I’ve never felt more confident that I can help shape the future of sustainable surfboard manufacturing, it has taken a toll on my mental health. I have been diagnosed with type 1 bipolar and find myself as an involuntary consumer at Bega Mental Health Facility.
It comes with great sadness that I will be stepping away from Sixfish for summer. Chasing a dream is an amazing feeling but when it takes a toll on people around you, you have to stop and reflect.
I love shaping timber surfboards and am exited to start again (I simply haven’t had the time or headspace to lately). I love trying out other peoples boards but really need to be surfing my own. I want Sixfish to be the best version of itself and that requires capital. I’ve never worked a 9-5 job and I’d like to experience that before I change the world.
This being said! I am honouring all current orders and the order book will remain open with 20 boards being shaped in 2023, first in best dressed.
.karli at and I have decided to close the PayPal link at 5 pm Thursday the 1st of December. Until then, any donation you make will still be split between Sixfish and Headspace Bega. If you wish to donate to either cause separately, simply send me a private message!
