"I would recommend JARVEN Surfboards to anyone looking for that personalised experience of buying a new surfboard and dealing direct with the maker. I found Steve to be very helpful and knowledgeable. But most importantly, he is passionate about delivering to you what you are wanting. I have recommended his services to friends looking for new surfboards and they have all been stoked with the finished product. So, if you are after a new board and are not comfortable going to the big brand board shops, give JARVEN Surfboards a go. You won't be disappointed! Thanks for everything Steve."

"I recently purchased two boards from Steve, for myself and my Son, a HP-S1 and HP-S2. Steve was extremely helpful, and the fact he leant me one of his boards for a couple of weeks to try out was great. The board's have proven to be great all round board's and well suited for the both of us. I found the experience of dealing with Steve very easy, and his knowledge and advice was particularly high, which helped me make the right decision regarding the right board's for us. I would recommend Steve and Jarven surfboards to anyone wishing to buy a true Australian made custom."

"Just a quick note to say thanks for an amazing board. I know my request was a toughie: basically something that had the buoyancy of a mal but still duck-dived with ease and turned like a fish. The SWAT is exactly that and after a few surfs now you couldn't get the grin off my face with a sledge-hammer mate. All the best and thanks!"

"G'day Steve, took the new board out for a few waves last weekend and I gotta say it's exactly what I was after.Easy to paddle, stable under foot yet responsive when I needed it. (Oh and I reckon it looks pretty good as well). You made the whole process so easy and your advice was great. I'd recommend anyone wanting a board to speak with you (and no, I'm not just saying that!).Thanks mate and see you on the water."

"Thanks for a great little stick! Loose as and big fun in small to medium waves. Buoyancy is perfect, easy paddling for an ageing surfer like me, but still plenty nimble almost like a skatey or snowboard feel. Thanks again mate!"

"Steve this board goes great when it's 6ft + solid and sucky days. Good solid board in the 3 to 5ft range and Paddles great."

"Love the colour through the foam blank, looks great. The extra thickness of the Barracuda really helps the 'heavier bloke' to ride a short board."
