info_outlineWelcome back to another episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, where we celebrate the legends, innovators, and unsung heroes of surfing , the people shaping the past, present, and future of our beloved culture.
Today’s episode takes us to the heart of surfboard craftsmanship and performance design, as we sit down with two incredibly talented Australians: Josh and Anna Constable, the dynamic duo behind Creative Army Surfboards.
For many in the surf world, the name Josh Constable is synonymous with excellence. A multiple Australian champion, longboard maestro, and the 2006 ASP World Longboard Champion, Josh has spent decades refining his style and pushing the limits of performance on the water. But his story doesn’t stop at competition results, it evolves into shaping boards that carry his signature understanding of speed, glide, and flow.
In 2013, he channeled that deep well of knowledge into Creative Army, a surfboard brand that blends classic design principles with modern performance, delivering boards that are as beautiful to look at as they are to ride.
By his side, both in life and in the lineup, is Anna Constable a champion in her own right. Anna’s passion for surfing began early, and she carved her own path in the sport with a focus on style, grace, and athleticism. Known for her competitive spirit and fluid wave riding, she also holds an impressive title: **world champion in acrobatic surfing.
Together, Josh and Anna have built not only a brand, but a shared vision, one that celebrates craftsmanship, quality, and the joy of riding waves. Creative Army boards have earned a loyal following around the globe for their balance of performance and aesthetic beauty.
Whether it’s a refined longboard for trimming effortlessly down the line, a mid-length for versatility, or a shortboard tuned for speed and responsiveness, each design carries the DNA of decades spent studying waves and equipment.
For Josh, the shaping bay is a creative playground, where ideas are tested, refined, and brought to life, always with the goal of giving surfers the perfect craft for their style and conditions. In this conversation, we’ll explore their journey, from the competitive stage to the shaping room, from personal victories to the challenges of building a surf brand in today’s global market.
We’ll talk about what inspires their designs, the subtle details that can make or break a board’s performance, and how they see the future of surfboard shaping evolving.
We’ll also touch on the balance between heritage and innovation, and why surfing, at its core, is about more than results or product, it’s about connection, passion, and community.
So, whether you’re a board aficionado, a weekend wave rider, or someone who simply loves a great story about dedication and creativity, you’re going to enjoy this one.
