DONNY 'THE DON' ALLCROFT
Donny 'The Don' Allcroft started life in England in the 1940s - From this day and age that period of humanity truly looks like the wild west, the shit you could do on the daily back then, would have you on the BBC top 10 most read in today's gentrified modern world. The Don Hails from this period, Good with his hands, he followed in his father's footsteps as a plumber, before moving to Australia in his late teens and being drawn into what was the beginning of a surfing life not just for him but for many that shaped what modern surfing is today!
It wasn't long before The Don was a local in Torquay and regarded as one of the great craftsman of foam - his passion, knowledge, and thirst have him still today highly regarded and connected in a league of legends, Shaping for Pyke, Ripcurl, Mark Richards, Dick Brewer and his own brand Sunbird Surfboards.
The Don is a true gentleman of the Land and Sea, He knows how to yarn with the best of them, and sometimes its a decoy so watch him in the water, one of the elders of Winki.
I feel privileged to have had Donny over for a chin wag
Hope you enjoy our chat
