Cod Surfing Company Australia was started in early 1984 by two surf stoked grommets, Danny Miau and Paul Uscinski. Living in Redland Bay, Dan and Paul would hitchhike over to North Stradbroke Island, only a short barge trip away, surfing endless summer perfection at Cylinders, Main Beach and Dan's favourite Frenchman's. As their passion for surfing grew, Dan soon started shaping a few boards for fun so sparking Paul's interest in shaping.
