From humble beginnings in the fledgling 1960’s surf industry, Strapper Surfboards was founded in Torquay Australia in 1976 by Dennis ‘Strapper’ Day on a mission to go surfing, make surfboards and hang out with his mates that surf. Mike ‘D’Sas’ Di Sciascio at 15 years old joined Strapper in ’79 learning to make surfboards in our factory which in those days was a sheep shearing shed close to Bells Beach. In ’89 Mike took over Strapper, and now five decades on 2026 marks 50 years of a shared passion for surfing, making surfboards and being a foundation for the Torquay surf community and culture. Strapper Surf is still local owned and operated by Mike ‘D’Sas’ and continues to be ‘The Surfers Shop’.

Designed by Cooper Downes, this book is a culmination and celebration of 50 Years of all things Strapper history. Interviews, photos, graphics, vintage surfboards, and more. You’ll need a copy of this for your coffee table.
