Customize Your Product with a Tokyo Surf Artist
A message from Ratty:
“Hi, currently Im working at my studio in Tokyo with my main focus being the production of customised History of surfing kits. Now you can have a complete History of Surfing kit with your own customised board and details in it. (For details please see below). For those of you who want to spend less, and simply want the perfect replica of your own board made, you will be pleased to know that I am also working on producing larger (24cm) individuals made custom boards, that “float” in the frame and can be viewed from both sides. Please keep checking this website for updated details on this.”
Meanwhile, here's just a small sampling of some of the projects Ratty has put together over the years. If you have a particular project that we can collaborate on then please contact us.
In 1999 we began negotiating permission rights to produce BEAR miniatures in Australia.
BEAR MiniATures
The BEAR surf brand was made famous by arguably the greatest surf movie of all time. That movie was “Big Wednesday.”
Three of about ten 30cm long floral designs
The Soul Collection
Ratty did a whole range of these Mini Mals. While these samples are without logos he’s aiming to be able to reproduce this limited series again soon.
CocaCola approached us to make 200 of these 26cm long boards for their “Sun & Surf” Australian Conference
Cocacola “Sun & Surf”
A Coke conference was held on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia in 1998. Our mini boards graced the tables.
One of Ratty’s most popular products.
THE HISTORY OF SURFING
This particular kit continues to be very popular. It is an updated version completed with retro style fish. Now you can replace any board in this kit with a mini replica of your own. This new version comes in a world class high quality frame. The materials used are authentic to each period.
Mr. Y. Osada made a full custom board in 1985 with Goddess International Co., Ltd. and after 40 years, he decided to make a miniature replica to commemorate his memories of his belated wife .

Ratty delivered this custom order of “the history of surfing” to Mr. Y. Osada’s home in Kanagawa.
This is a signature endorsed kit.
THE NAT YOUNG COLLECTION
This was Nat Young’s private quiver of boards back in 1990. (He had a copy of it cut into the lounge room wall of his Angourie home). Ratty is also hoping to reproduce and update this kit from Nat’s Latest collection at some time in the near future. Enquiries Welcome!
