Where is Mt Woodgee headed?
The fundamental item – the surfboard – will continue to underpin our credibility
into the future. We at Mt Woodgee understand that a surfer 'has a relationship’
with their surfboard rather than ‘owning it like an object’.
We are determined not to participate in the mass ‘sales-pitch’ being directed at
surfers in favour of machined surfboards that are easy and cheap to produce; but
are counter to individual expression – the very core of surfing culture.
Mt Woodgee will continue to ensure that surfers need not be ‘conned’.
Genuinely master handcrafted-crafted surfboards, with unique bottom curves, made from the best materials, and finished by the world’s best surfboard craftsmen; will always be available to anyone in the world from Mt Woodgee.
“Individual Surfboards for Individual Surfers”
So, so much more than ‘just a brand’, the potential in the name ‘Mt Woodgee’ and it’s reputation is enormous.
Certainly, there will be ever- increasing distribution, both in Australia and overseas to 'share the joy’.
Clothing sales continue to grow exponentially.
It’s a future based on tradition and a genuine deeply felt understanding of what it to surf and to be a surfer.
Mt Woodgee is not a marketing invention.
It is a place.
It represents a way of life.
Mt Woodgee customers are not units of income, they are fellow surfers. Or at least potential surfers.
The final say is with the man who started it all – Nick Anagnostou:
“I would love everyone who rides our boards, wears our clothes or comes to our shops to feel – even if it’s just a little bit – the happiness that I’ve felt in my life as a surfer. The farmhouse, the mountain, the camaraderie…Mt Woodgee embodies these feelings.
