Making My Quiver
I have gone to extreme lengths to create the Cape Cod Surfrider Museum. I have spent money like water I’m sure and drove my wife crazy as I sneaked board after board into the basement. I travelled over a thousand miles to get a board and spent two years sometimes to finish paying for a gem. I had a purpose to preserve in my brother's name the best boards I could find and a passion for the art that goes into the making of a surfboard. My hope is that in the future the best of what I’ve saved may be seen by folks long after I’ve surfed my last wave.
The things I did to get these boards many people will hopefully laugh about and my wife will forgive the attention I gave in pursuit of the collection. I’ve hunted for boards obviously on Craigslist but Surf shops, Pawn shops and word of mouth have always been good sources to find great boards. The logos, colors, board shapes, and lets not forget the fins all make picking up a board a total thrill. I’ve surfed only a few from the collection just too nervous to put any of the best in the water. I’ve seen way too many accidents and the old boards can spring leaks with just the slightest ding. Been there and done that!
Many of the boards carry a long history for their original owners who kept the boards in rafters and barns across the country. A few have even been flown back by others and kept as memories of the big adventure with battle scars and all. Others were put way in frustration after being hassled by police and others as surfing was earlier labeled as a sport for derelicts. If only the boards could talk! They do to me. They speak of the core of where surfing has originated. A guy gripping a log in his arms and paddling out into the challenging surf and riding his board back is a thrill. View the collection at your leisure and I will continue to add I'm sure boards both local and afar as next adventure will let me go.
Rip it up!

1. 9’3” Caribbean: - This mid 1960’s pop-out was the first board I ever bought. I purchased it in 1986 from a lady in Centerville for $30 dollars. I think it was left behind in a divorce. I thought I had struck gold! A bright orange (my favorite color) 9ft plus board with it’s awesome Caribbean logo, I surfed her at Cahoon Hollow exclusively during my early days of becoming a surfer. My bad habit of riding whatever I caught right into the beach soon caused damage to the front nose and water leaked in. I used a surfer’s universal tools (duct tape and wax) to slow up the damage.
It was relegated to loaner board within a year or so including taking out the front tooth of one on my wife’s best friends (maid of honor) husbands. You can still see the leftover tooth mark in the rail of the board. I also loaned it to NECN weatherman, Tim Kelly. He had it for a few years and put a bad hole in the belly but he had the board professionally repaired. Tim surfed her a Peggoty Beach and other places again during his early years of learning how to surf. It could use a final a cleaning but is still a rideable board. Made actually by the same crew of guys that made the Matador surfboards in New Jersey. See link below. I’ve only seen one for sale in 2019?? In Florida. Been cleaned and gleams in the ceiling of the basement. The maker has been tracked down to Matador surfboards. One of the first manufacturers on the East Coast. Update says otherwise possibly made by the originator of Nomad Surfboards. http://www.floridasurfmuseum.org/surf-spots/nomad-surf-shop-passing-of-a-legend

Dewey Weber Obit
Surfing Great Dewey Weber Dies : Sports: He won fame as a hot-dogger in the long board era and became a millionaire as a short board manufacturer. Known as hard-living and fun-loving, the innovator had fallen on hard times.
By JANET RAE-DUPREE and KIM KOWSKY
Jan. 8, 1993 12 AM PT
Dewey Weber, whose intricate surfing style and board designs helped popularize the sport and made him one of surfing’s legends, died Wednesday of cardiac failure brought on by alcohol abuse. He was 54.
One of surfing’s first millionaires, Weber rode the financial crest of the budding surfing industry. He was discovered dead in a bed in his tiny apartment at the back of his Hermosa Beach surf shop early Wednesday evening. Weber was making plans to move into a new home, but had been ill for several weeks and a doctor had told him his liver was failing.
Those who knew the hard-living, fun-loving original crazy surfer said it was a painful end to a vibrantly full life.
Dewey Weber
2. 9’8” 1963 Dewey Weber (1): - My first Dewey Weber and no doubt the craziest place I’ve ever gone to buy a board. My brother Paul, who was also just getting into surfing and collecting, had found a small classified mag that some guy had two surfboards up in the New Hampshire woods for sale. When we got to the guys house, he invited us down into his basement. After taking my first few steps in, I thought I might never come out alive! The first room was just full of killing knives and hand grenades on shelves everywhere and as we walked into the second larger room we were shocked to see Guns hanging and laying on shelves everywhere with a 50 caliber machine gun mounted on a tripod set up on a bench pointed right at us!!! Hanging above it was the board my brother had come to buy. A beautiful 1967 Dick Brewer Bing Eastcoast Pipeliner that he still has today (sic now mine). I was told my board was outside in the shed.
Within minutes I was pulling out a waterlogged but to me precious piece of history. While the Brewer looked like it had never been in the water mine looked like half of New England had surfed her at one time. Her deck however, still had this vintage look like a sleek cigarette pack cover from the early 50’s with the large blue stripe and small red pinstriping. I surfed her for several years at Cahoon Hollow and in my first Old Timers at Coast Guard beach in 1988. See picture below. She took a beating but kept on ticking and after years of dry dock in my cellar I repaired her a few years back into rideable condition.
She’s a real beauty with some scars but begs to be ridden. I also have pictures of me riding it at Cahoon Hollow and holding my son Kyle, just a baby, down at the bottom of the cliff. The Dewewy was featured at the first Cape Cod Surf Museum at the Maritime Museum in Hyannis in October 2010. I had to pull the fin out which was already compromised and fixed much stronger! Updated June 6, 2020, took the board with me to meet Kyle to surf at Nauset Light. Caught a quick dozen waves with no wax on board!!! Kyle and I took a picture on the beach 32 years after the last time I rode it!!!

You gather any surfers together and eventually the conversation will get around to…who are the top five surfers of all time? Granted, your age will determine the answer, but having grown up surfing in the ‘60s & ‘70s, here are my top five in no particular order: Phil Edwards, Greg Noll, Kelly Slater, Tom Curren and Dewey Weber.
Dewey who? Dewey Weber is considered one of the most stylistic surfers of all time. In one word, he was the original “hot dogger!” He dominated the surf scene in the South Bay for three decades in the ‘50s, ‘60s & ‘70s. 22nd Street in Hermosa Beach was his kingdom, which he ruled proudly. He mastered the longboard, ushered in the shortboard generation and then reintroduced the longboard to its current status today.
Dewey seemed to do everything with flare and style. When he was 14, Groucho Marx featured him on the national television show You Bet Your Life, as a three-time national yo-yo champion. He was a scrappy three-time CIF wrestling champion. He actually qualified for the U.S. Olympic wrestling team, but injury kept him out of competition. And, he won a Hollywood audition to play Buster Brown for the Buster Brown Shoe Company. But, first and foremost, surfing was his forte.
In the height of the surf boom of the 1960s, Dewey opened his first surfboard showroom in Venice, CA. His success then led to a shop in Hermosa Beach and his namesake eventually made its way to San Clemente.
The proud Weber surf name continues to flourish in what’s known as “surfboard alley” in the old industrial center of San Clemente. Dewey’s son, Shea, carries on the family tradition and is happy to tell you Dewey Weber Surfboards has survived 21 years in San Clemente. Shea says, “It’s funny, we are in a very historic part of San Clemente but we still have lifelong SC residents who pop in and say they had no idea we were here.”
Dewey’s surf teams were legendary who’s who of surfers from the South Bay. When they walked the beach in their red competition trunks and jackets with a white stripe running down the side, the sand parted and locals just stared in awe. Even today, the Weber Surf Team still competes with riders from San Clemente and the surrounding area.
Shea’s surf shop is also a historical museum of sorts. Murals and classic photos of Dewey line the walls. Classic surfboards with the well-recognized Dewey Weber logo are stacked wall to wall, all memories of a man who carved out his corner of the surf industry.
“My dad’s legacy is three-fold,” says Shea. “First, he was the father of hot dogging and changed the way people thought about surfing. Second, he helped create the surf industry and revolutionized manufacturing, marketing, promotion, and sales. The other piece of his legacy that is often overlooked is his role in the revival of longboarding in the early ‘80s. You can almost pinpoint the resurgence of longboarding to the 1981 Dewey Weber Longboard Classic at the Manhattan Beach Pier (that ran for seven or eight years). The return of the longboard has changed surfing dramatically by expanding the participation demographic exponentially. It also pushed board builders to re-explore many of the designs that we raced through in the transition era of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, which lead us to one of the largest categories of boards today…the alternative shortboard.”
To many, Dewey represented a man who was at the right place at the right time in the evolution of surfing. He was a small man in stature (only 5’6”), but a giant in the surf industry. But Shea was just a boy when all of this was happening. “What I remember most about my dad was going to the beach, not surfing, but just being at the beach with him.” He added, “My dad was like a kid trapped in a grown up body…he was just one of us!”
Dewey Weber passed away in 1993. On a personal note, as a young boy living in Hermosa Beach, I used to watch with wonder this acrobatic man dance on the waves. I used to think he was performing ballet on water. In later years I got to know him personally and came to realize he never really knew the footprint he left on the surf industry. He was a humble man, and I now see that in his son Shea.
Take the time to visit Dewey Weber Surfboards at 1321-P Calle Valle, San Clemente, CA 92672. I guarantee you that Shea will greet you with a smile as wide as T-Street. And he will be happy to share the long history of Dewey Weber. In 2010, Dewey Weber Surfboards celebrated their 50th anniversary. Not too many businesses can boast of nearly six decades of success. But when you combine history with quality, craftsmanship and mix in family, you have the basis for surf success. And it doesn’t hurt that it started with surf royalty…Dewey Weber.

Bing Surfboards Dick Brewer Pipeliner East
3. 9’ 6” Bing Dick Brewer Pipeliner East 1967: (Machine Gun Blue)
This board was in my brother's quiver but now it resides in my basement with its gleaming blue pintail that begs to be surfed! The workmanship that went into this board is levels above most others in the collection. I've told how my brotehr and I purchased two boards in NH above but the board of course has its own history. We bought it definbetly a guy who was a vet that seemed to have surfed in Vietnam (China beach) and brough back his quiver and hid in his bunker! I rember the guy looking like he just came out of a fox hole! Paul used it sparingly and even bought a similar new one to use if he surfed again. i've adored teh board for years and it was a key piece of the Cape Cod Surfing Museum in 2010 hosted at the Hyannis Maritime Museum. Cape Cod shaper Shawn Vec saw the board and having shaped for Dick Brewer immedaitely took somke pics and got on the phoine with Dick to confirm the board's prominence.
Dewey Weber Performer
4. 10’1” Dewey Weber Performer: This is my first Wweber performer and the biggest Dewey I own. She is a monstrous 10’1” with light green side stripes with a triple stringer of balsa and two redwood with a small redwood stringer in the tail block. I Bought this board from Todd at Cinnamons Rainbows in Orleans just weeks before he left for New Hampshire. Todd was a great help in getting our group of guys started in surfing including two of my brothers and my best friend Steve. Todd was from Dennis Yarmouth and had run track under my same coach, Alan Carlsen and recognized what level of torture the legendary Coach had put us through. Todd treated me with great respect despite being newbies to the surf world. He told one story where Carlsen in an effort to make the sprint faster tried pulling them along with his car. He’d be arrested today. Todd’s Cinnamon Rainbow shop under it’s next owner Dave Cropper has hit it big time but I’ve never gone there. I guess I’ll have to make the trip soon.
I love surfing this board because at the time I was a 210 lb roofer lugging bundles up and down ladders all day. The board had a beautiful white hatcher fin that was destroyed on the way to the 1991 Old Timers when the lady driving the shuttle swiped a pole with the board sticking out the side of the bus. We had been happily drinking strawberry daiquiris in the parking lot waiting for the shuttle. I was fucked up and fucked up! It would take a couple of tries to get a new fin (one guy took my $50 and never produced my fin) Eventually Matt from the new founded Pump House found someone to repair the board and glass in a fin. I’ve used the board sparingly since except to win my first surf contest at the New England Longboard at Nantasket in 2009. I got smashed while waiting for my heat (somethings never change) and uninhibited, I did several handstands and foot switches to win easily in ankle high surf. This Dewey has also won the Old Timers twice including by the lead singer Fred from Freddie and the Maybellines. Getting dusty but not for sale Jim! Update surfed to victory on her at the New England Longboasrd Classic in June 2024.

Heathways Custom
5. 9’10” Heathways My sister Jane’s husband Donny left the board here in 94 when I built the house. Damage to the back end of board where seams split but I repaired but have yet to finish, Donny never put her in the water and I don’t think he’s ever surfed but he is a great boatsman with respect for his boating and sailing skills learned on Bass River and Nantucket sound. The Healthways board is just like many I’ve seen advertised over the years on craigslist and ebay. Nothing special. I did see one for sale once that was in primo shape with a real bright yellow and sweet logo but never got it. They were sold at Sears and my dad did work and for them for a short time in the early sixties so I’m sure he probably sold one himself back in the day. Plain Jane for sure but that’’s my sister's name who's married to Donny - go figure! The one in the ad is identical to the one I have. Sadly, I traded away the baord in 2022 to make room for other boards. I regret it now especially seeing what others want for them even though they are not the best board. This one is listed for $2,500!!!
Hobie Banana
6. 9’11” Hobie: The Hobie “Banana” board is on loan from my oldest brother Paul. It’s the board he received when my brother Dave died. I had ridden this board a few times when Dave was alive and knew it could bring you magic rides. I was beginning to really want to become a better surfer and convinced Paul to let me take the board surfing one day. I’ve never returned it. I think it’s been over 25 years now! But I was right, the sleek long yellow top Hobie paddles like it has twin rear end motors and getting up is like standing on the sidewalk. I was instantly catching waves and making turns that I had never really done before. I was truly blown away by how much easier the board caught rides. It was a wave magnet!! I could speed my way into almost any set and catch a ride long before it broke. I used the board exclusively for the next ten years but still sadly rode only at Cahoon Hollow and occasionally at Newport.
I was reluctant to surf other beaches in fear of being embarrassed by my lack of skill and wave knowledge. The incident early on with having my Dewey’s fin torn off didn’t help. I surfed alone maybe 20 times a year due to the fact I usually was working two jobs at this point up to almost 100 hrs. a week. I also was heavily involved in both my son's youth sports programs that would take over much of our family lives for the next 15 years. Despite all the distractions, this board kept me surfing and allowed me to eventually gain more wave skill. I’ve surfed her in overhead waves many times (no leash) and in recent years as I began to expand use of Cape Cod beaches had an epic day over two plus overhead at Longnook in Truro. This is probably one of the biggest days I’ve ever surfed an old board or any board. I caught waves that barreled forever!!!! No photos, just memories with John the builder! I pinpoint this as the day I really started frothing for big waves. My confidence soared!!!! My balls grew!!!! Then the sharks scare which had just started really took light with the first bite in 2013 at Ballston beach just a few miles away from Longnook. Update no longer on loan but permanent fixture in museum after Paul’s move to North Carolina. She has recently been cleaned and is ready to rock some surf!! Recent photo with all of Dave’s boards also below.

Thief!Thief! Thief!
7. 9’0 Hobie: I stole this nice light clean hobie from my cuzin Richard. Rich is the closest family relative after spending years traveling with us up skiing in New Hampshire and working for our roofing company together when we were young. He left this board in my cellar when we first built our home here in Dennis in 1994. He’s never come back to get it. I’ve used it many times as the spare board on trips with friends as a learner board. Even my son's first time learning to surf was on it! It’s been repaired several times but was given a true clean up and new life a few years ago when Richard mentioned possibly getting it back. It’s been ready ever since but would hate to see it leave the fold.
Dewey Weber Strato
Dewey Weber Strato
8. 9’ 2” Dewey Weber Strato: Picture above taken at Cahoon Hallow in Sept 2011 by Tim Kelley during Ernesto tropical storm. Paddled out in raging surf and caught crazy rides!!! My quiver was at this stage for several years until in the early 2000’s I made the decision to buy a new Dewey Weber Strato from Matt at the Pump House. My best friend Steve and I had done a roof job in Harwich off 124 near Pleasant Lake that my dad had setup for me and we made bocoo dollars. Steve also bought a new board by David Nuuhiwa.
My Weber Strato changed my surfing forever. I was quickly catching crazy waves and dancing and moving around on the board like I never had before. But I was still just going to Cahoon Hollow. The big change was I was now nailing bigger drops and charging overhead waves. I really got the bug and went from going 20 times to 50 times and started surfing earlier and later in the season. The board is feather light and 9’2 with a blunt nose that made those fucking drops so easy. I was in heaven. Then I went to Maine on a trip with my wife and youngest son. I roped it off on the minivan roof rack on the way up. We surfed two foot waves at honky tonk land. We took pictures of us riding. It was sunny and despite it being made the water was warm it being mid August. The next day however, it rained and to take up time we visited a flea market after having lunch at a nice local restaurant. It was pouring out and I felt bad for the people working and bought a cheap set of bungee cords. The the devil made me do it. The next morning strapping my board onto the car rack I used just the bungee cords feeling that they would easily do the trick? Wrong!! Leaving all the rope I had used in the back I drove out early AM heading for home. At first,no problem, but forgetting about the board and soon reaching speeds above 70, the cords just popped and suddenly the board went flying off the roof of the car onto the highway. A car directly behind me swerved around it as it fell to the ground in it's bag bouncing on the highway. I pulled over quickly and running quickly went to pull the board off the highway and began to stuff it into my car. Psyched nothing was no longer on the highway. Panci set in however, as another car now pulled up slowly and then swerved around the scene more than they needed to and lightly banged the car next to them. Nobody was hurt, they claimed! Idiots! It took hrs before the police said we could leave and a few years to end the legal battle because they later tried to claim some fake injury. The board was badly damaged but I put her baclk together the best I could at the time.
Dewey Weber Planer

9. 9’0: Dewey Weber: A Beautiful blue striped from Matt at Pump House, a sister board to the Dewey Strato I broke earlier. Matt had bought himself at the same time he got my strato. It has lots of dimples on the deck but a beautiful board that is designed for summer surf. I rode it for a few months and my son Kyle did as well. I also rode this board in hurricane surf with Mark O’Connell watching and taking photos. In one picture, I’m no more than a small looking person in a huge wall of whitewater!!! It’s also the board I’m holding in many of my articles on surfing featured in the Cape Cod Times. This board looks too nice to surf!!!!

10. 9’ 6” Ricky Carroll: A gorgeous with white top with lime green trim and bottom bought from Matt at Pump House and wrecked at Nauset Public 10-12 footers with Dan Nenninger. Caught thousands of rides on this board and almost drowned learning how to ride bigger waves at the time. Spent some time at Nauset public which is where I broke it two years later in big surf. Still in the basement and probably repairable some day. gone now a shower stall somewhere on Cape Cod

Friedrichs Barrel Rider
13. 6’ 6” Friedrichs: 6ft plus from history teacher at Harwich Middle school. I don’t know why I bought this board its way to skinny for anyone I know to ride it. A barrel rider for a small guy in my estimation. It’s only been hanging from the ceiling and needs to find someone small enough to ride and the right baja break!!! Sold to Buddha Bobs summer 2025
Hobie Pig
14. 9’ 6' ' Hobie: Beautiful orange and black striped Hobie from the 60's with middle size wood D fin. I purchased off craigslist from a harbor master at Mass Maritime, who had bought it for him and his wife to use at Nauset, from Todd at Cinnamon Rainbows in 1980. His wifed got destroyed trying to use it and it sat in their garage ever since. The board has not been put back in the water yet but looks like she would be a great board. This was probably the first board I bought after starting back at Riverview. I literally drove over after work and picked up the board. I t made geting boards seem easy but it never really is all that simple to ge that good stuff. Desire Dedication, and determination are needed to make a rare collection that will stand out. I learned this back towards my teaching and towards coaching again thai time running and specially what I had been a champion at in my youth Cross-Country.
Dewey Weber Performer
15. 9’ 11” Dewey Weber Performer: Beautiful banana shaped board with Yellow stringer in excellent condition with original hatchet fin. Took two years buying this board. Saw it and waited until the guy got more realistic with his price. Still paid $900 outrageous dollars for this beauty but they are really hard to find looking like this. I don’t think it’s had wax on it in over 40 years and maybe never. This board really is one of the best boards I own and needs to get in the water but I’m scared to get it wet!!!
Dewey Weber Planer
16. 9’ 11” Dewey Weber: Planer with green with black stripes whose owner said the board was a former two time winner of the prestigious Old Timers Contest and had been refurbished unprofessionally by the former owner but recently sanded and looks sharp on the rack but never brought back to the Old Timer for return! she’s due!! Paid $125 in Mashpee and the guy sold me two others.

17. 8’ 6” Ole: signed by Bob Olson this was the above guy's beater board for years. My kids loved it but still need total restoration. Paid $150 by the same guy from above in Mashpee.

Waterspot: Memories of Sunset Surfboards resonate in Encinitas
Waterspot: Memories of Sunset Surfboards resonate in Encinitas
by Chris Ahrens August 8, 2019
There used to be a small surf shop on Coast Highway in Encinitas called Sunset Surfboards. Walking into the tidy little showroom left you dazzled by the work of some of the best board makers in the industry. And, if you didn’t see what you wanted there, you could order a custom board on the spot.
A short walk downstairs led to the factory where your board would be made to your specifications. While nearly impossible to comprehend now, surfboards were shaped and glassed in downtown Encinitas. Gosh, I miss the sound of power planers and the smell of resin.
The owner of the shop, Ed Wright, began surfing in 1958 and shaped his first surfboards in his garage a few years later. He was encouraged in this endeavor by his father, who started surfing in 1935 and built a board in the early ‘40s from a kit purchased through Popular Mechanics. From there, Ed began sweeping up for legendary board makers Pat Curren, Mike Diffenderfer and Al Nelson, who owned a shop in Encinitas on D Street called South Coast In 1965, Ed began working for Surfboards Hawaii, and it was there he perfected the exacting craft of shaping. As the owner and head shaper for Sunset, you could often find him sprinkled in foam dust after hand shaping some of the best boards ever.
Sunset was founded by Ed Wright in the late 1960's. The upstairs was retail, the downstairs was a small surfboard factory. Eventually Ed wanted to expand the retail wing so the factory crew got together and formed the Moonlight Glassing surfboard factory in San Marcos in 1979.
Gordie Surfboards
20. 9’ 6” Gordie Surfboards (The Only Way to Travel): Famous Huntington Beach, California board that’s initialed MJS with serial # 120 with a huge 2ft “The Only Way To Travel” logo and red top half due to possible breakage? Bought on my first travel into Narragansett (never even went to the beach, just the board) not sure if I had already met Chick. I think I paid $300. Met Chick and Sean Vechionne. Chick gave me a few historic books on surfing.
Aug 5, 2011
Gordie Duane, a pioneering surfboard maker and a key figure in Huntington Beach, California’s surf community, died last week at age 80. Duane, who was instrumental in helping Huntington Beach earn the moniker Surf City, opened his first surf shop at the Huntington Beach Pier in 1956, the same year he received the city’s first ticket for surfing illegally. The shop quickly became a hangout for the town’s surfing youth. Duane was also one of the first board makers, in 1958, to incorporate a wooden strip, or “stringer,” down the center of foam-core surfboards. “They’re still like that,” Duane told The Los Angeles Times in 1980. “I have a reputation for being a rebel, okee dokee, but history is still history. God, if I’d have patented that!” Duane was inducted into the Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame in 1997; the Hole in the Wall Gang, a group of amateur surfers to which Duane belonged in the 1970s, was inducted Thursday. Born Gordon Patrick Duane on Feb. 2, 1931, in L.A., Duane learned to surf while serving in the Navy at Pearl Harbor.
From Shred Sledz!
For all you Sunshine State residents, here’s a classic 1960s noserider that somehow made its way from Southern California to its current location in Jacksonville, Florida. The board is currently listed for sale on Craigslist, at a somewhat steep $1,200.
Now, just what is this fine-looking surfcraft, you might be wondering?
The board is made by Gordie Surfboards, and from the looks of it, it’s an all-original board that was manufactured sometime in the 1960s. Gordie Surfboards is named after its founder, Duane Gordon. The brand has its beginnings in Huntington Beach, where, according to the Encyclopedia of Surfing, Gordie’s first shop was located at the base of the famous Huntington Beach pier. According to Gordie’s LA Times obituary – he passed away in 2011, at age 80, from natural causes – Gordie was one of the first shapers to incorporate the stringer.
Many talented California shapers later worked for Gordie’s brand. Some of the highlights include Steve Boehne, who later founded Infinity Surfboards; Del Cannon; and Bruce Jones.
One can’t be certain, but it looks as if the board pictured here is from sometime in the 1960s. The first picture has a clear close-up of the logo. Stoked-n-Board dates this logo as hailing from anytime between 1962 and 1967.
You’ll also notice there’s a serial number in the same picture. It’s in black pen and it’s located on the stringer. It’s hard to make out, but it looks like it says #136, and there is an “SU” above it. Stoked-n-Board’s numbering system doesn’t map to this, and it’s unclear what it refers to.
The other thing that catches my eye is the fin. It looks almost like a rounded off hatchet design, and it’s clearly glassed onto the board. I’ve never seen a fin like this, and Stoked-n-Board also doesn’t have any info on what this might be.
The board has some water damage, but the poster claims there are no delams, and overall it looks like it’s in reasonable condition considering it’s probably close to 50 years old. $1200 isn’t cheap, by any means, but as they always say about land, it’s not like they’re making any more of them.

Swaylocks Inner-Island Info
Inter-island Surfboards were originally by Mickey Lake, Joe Kuala, Sparky and John Kelly Jr. in Hawaii. http://www.inter-island.com/. Through the years a who's who of shapers have worked with them, including Mike Diffenderfer and Dick Brewer. Barry Morrison owns the label right now. Barry rides a lot of Brewer longboards, and is a great guy. Jim Phillips and Glenn Miyasaki have been shaping boards for them and we're all hoping Sparky gets back into shaping. I'm pretty sure you can get a custom Brewer with the Inter-island logo from Barry.

Beautiful Surf boards in an almost museum setting. Until recently, when he finally passed, Sparky the original shaper back in 1960 was still producing boards--stop by to hear the story. An easy walk from Waikiki and very worth it. I lived in Honolulu in the 60's, now I'm on Maui, and this store took me back. The logo powerfully evokes the surf spirit of the time.

First to ride was Jimmy O'Connell's neighborhood friend, Jimmy, who carried it down from my truck. He paddle it out and rode it for a second before wiping out. I had no wax on it and I paddled out and rode it for a few rides without anything before going in and borrowing wax for Little Jon on the beach and then proceeding to rip it up on it for an hour. Sweet board, love the long nose and the way it just speeds up once you get going! Bullet!! Everett rode this board to victory at the Oldtimers in 2018 and Mark surfed her at Little Compton. Update: surfed Fourth of July in 2022 at Marconi Beach in knee high waves and performed incredible!!!!

Outer Beach Surfboards
Outer Beach Surfboards
41. 6’ 6” Outer Beach: Serial # 0965
My wife Marie who usually in not on the board prowl like me and I bought this shortboard for Colin in Harwich for $100. Shaped by former pro surfer and East Coast legend Greg Geiselman, who is still shaping in Florida under his own Orion label. East Coast Glassing label on back as well https://www.orionsurfboards.com/
Greg Geiselman has accomplished quite a bit in life: Olympic swimmer, ASP East champion, owner/operator of Orion Surfboards, father to two of the world’s most progressive surfers… “They keep me super current,” Greg says of the input he gets from Eric and Evan, who went on to ride the best boards in the world after coming up on Pops’ shapes. “I try to make ’em see how much work goes into one. It’s not just put it in the toaster and it pops out.”
Geiselman's son Eric survived a great white shark scare after he was blasted after a great white shark came up from below and snapped his board in half!
The board has its own history for us as after buying the board Colin only used it sparingly before leaving for the Carolinas in 2013. In 2016 a family friend daughter stopped by the house to borrow a board. Seeing the Outer Beach getting no use and with wax on her, I told the girl to have fun but please bring it back after the summer. It never returned an we laughed at times about the reason why knowing the family. Years past then relatives of the family began working in my office and surprisingly her 18 year old son wanted to learn how to surf and was total jacked to go. We spent the summer of 2021 getting him to the beach with others from the office. I never mentioned the lost surf board that I knew her sites in law's daughter had. The mother was grateful and gave me gifts cards but I didn't l now the biggest gift was about to come. While I had never spoke of the board to her my own sister had been back in town for a few weeks and being the original family friend made attempts to get the board to no avail. I put it off as lost. After the summer during the fall slowdown conversations turned to family and somehow the board loan came up. Not surprised the Office associate said she would fine out about the board. A few days later she came into work saying she had the board in her car! Incredible!!!! Cleaned repaired, waxed and ready to rock! Look out Great white sharks.

42. 9’ 4” Dewey Weber Quantum ($900) Red and white tip epoxy bought at Nauset sports in 2012? Caught head plus waves f-- screamers first time out right in front of Phil at Coast Guard after just buying it from him. f-- screamers. Go to board for 4 or 5 years and the one that earned me the nickname Rocket Man because of its long red rocket like look and white tip nose. Soon my nickname became the rocketman for not just the way I rocketed across the wave on this board but because I would show up and rocket in and out of the surf scene without stopping to say much. Sold to Chick in 2021 after board had become horribly de-lamed with long stretches of the board bubbled after taking a huge digger at Nauset Public a few years earlier. I think its a outdoor shower now. At least somebody get rinsed still.

From Sawylocks
Phillip Sauer of Huntington Beach, California was born on January 16th, 1937. His father Cecil, was worked as a lifeguard, and the interest for surfing developed within Phil. While on summer vacation in San Clemente, he was taught how to surf by legendary Pop Proctor. Later on in 1956, he went to Hawaii to catch the big waves. After a year of exploring for surf spots, Phil set sail along with his friend and a wannabe captain on a small 38 foot sailboat known as The Gitana on October 4th, heading for Seattle, Washington. But only five days after the journey begun, a terrible storm caught their boat, and they were lost at sea for the next 71 days. They managed the two months with extreme thirst, and they were washed ashore 150km north of Cabo San Lucas, California.[1]
Four years later in 1961, Phil opened a surf shop on the corner of Firestone and Lakewood Blvds in Downey, called "Surfboards by Phil". Eventually the movie industry noticed Phil's shop, and over the next few years, it would be know as "Surfboards To The Stars". And they were featured along with his clothing line in almost every beach party movies, including, "Ride The Wild Surf", "Muscle Beach Party", "Beach Blanket Bingo", "How To Stuff a Wild Bikini", "Dr. Goldfoot And The Bikini Machine", "Beach Ball", "Bikini Beach", "Wild On The Beach", also classis tv shows as the "The Monkees" and "Gidget"[1]

The Texas Surf Museum Post
Posting a photo from 1965 of myself on left with my popout by Mastercraft and Lester Dunn on the right with his Lari Jai shaped by Ernie Tanaka at 53rd street on the beach. The blue and yellow popout was made in Houston in the heights by a guy who also built fiberglass carnival ride horses and little cars. He had a shop on 19th street in an area that is now the middle of the hip shopping district. The Lari Jai was a hand shaped board built by Ernie Tanaka in Los Angeles and sold at Montgomery Wards. My first board that cost $65 and Lester's was $125. Wade Koniakowsky, the talented artist, used this photo to paint a picture that is currently owned by Ellis Pickett and I believe was displayed at the museum of Texas history for a display at one time. Ellis correct me if I am wrong. More history for the TSMUC.

Surfboardline - Bahne
A jack-of-all-trades if ever there was one, Encinitas-based Bill Bahne has had an influential hand in just about every Action Sports movement in the past 40 years. Getting his start in shaping in the ’50s before foam and fiberglass had entered the picture; by the early ’60s Bahne Surfboards was a thriving business.
As the popularity of surfing grew, Bill identified the need for a removable fin system, prompting him to start Fins Unlimited in 1964. Both the surfboard and fin business treated him well, but hardly one to rest on his laurels, by the start of the ’70s Bill teamed up with friend Mike Doyle and the two introduced the snow world to an early incarnate of the snowboard called the “monoski.” It was also about this time that Bill and his brother Bob started up Bahne Skateboards, which quickly became the ride of choice for the quickly growing skate scene. – taken from “The Art of Shaping”

The f--inbg Velzy is the balls because underneath it’s beautiful refinished red coat you know is a board that was in the hands of the master of all dadass surfers Dale Velzy. That he signed it is incredible and is definitely one of the most prized boards in the quiver. Surf dog firesale from Summer 2017. It came with a lot of great stories from Bruce of surfing the outer beaches of the cape to RI. I need to get Bruce to come to an Old Timers contest. His wife told me to do so.
Lopez Gun
Lopez Gun
89. 9’ 0” Lopez Gun: ($500) Jerry Lopez gun purchased in November 2017 from Kenny Collins one of the cape’s best surfers for the past four decades and still a regular at Ruggles in RI. Kenny only had the board for a few days after beating me to getting the board from Surfdog Bruce who was having his final fire sale. I wrote about Bruce in one of my surf stories and ended up buying several boards from him. The board has a bad ass camouflage look. It’s been ridden in big surf looking by the damage maybe once and still has some big waves riding in it. I‘m thinking that big double overhead day in March when the sun starts to hang out longer and the waves hold up better might be the day to go for it. I will repair all littler blemishes someday right now it’s hanging up and waiting for it’s turn to ride again.
Vintage Challenger Surfboard
Vintage Challenger Surfboard
90. 7’ 0” Challenger: ($20)
Picked up at Surf dog fire sale with the rest of the amazing boards. It’s yellow well worn decks show it’s obviously well surfed. Surfdog said he used the board on cape and RI needs lots of TLC and will get it eventually. It’s been getting the TLC it needed and while it will never be a show board it is now rideable and I’m excited to get it to the beach. I was told these were the rental type boards available at gas stations along rt 6 in Wellfleet back in the early days of surfing on the cape.
Greg Noll/Mickey Dora Da Cat
Greg Noll/Mickey Dora Da Cat
91. 9’ 8” Greg Noll / Mickey Dora Da Cat Serial #4619: - ($2,000)
I never saw this board until I actually already owned it after paying off Pump House owner Matt over a two ormaybe 3 year period. She's fu….. beautiful!!!! She slides through your hands because of her sleep edges and step down nose. She’s a dazzling deep green with glassed on original fin in a 9.5 condition or better. spacing and then what looks like the letter Z? I belive this board to be a board a coworker of mine spoke about when I worked for the JTEC and we made a career center and worked with several state agencies. One guy knew I was into surfing and told stories about surfing in RI and riding this green Dat Cat surfboard. His group of surfers left the sport angry because cops would hassle them and kick them off the beaches. Sounds like he was a real surf cat!!! He actually brought in one day the old car racks that he used because he knew they would fit on my old 67 mustang that I drove in the summer. He said he had sold the board a few years earlier than when I met him which was 1998. I subsequently did his roof a little cottage in Eastham. The board I got was sold to Matt at the pump house in the early 90’s just when he started to own the shop. I knew it was this guy. The story goes further because Matt did really know what the board was since he was really new to owning a surf shop and called Chick Frodigh legendary waterman of New England. Chick of course said to buy it which Matt did over the years Matt re-sold it back and forth between friends whenever one of them needed money. It's mine now and I hope they bury it with me!!!

Con Butterfly
94. 7’4” Con Butterfly: 1968 -69 ($500)
Originally owned by Mark O'Connell the forever president and creator of the Cape Cod Surfriders and designer of the infamous t-shirts, sweatshirts, logos and poster that attracted all the craies to our surg parties. Mark sold to my brother for his son, Brian to use in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Barely ridden and hanging in the garage attic for over 30 years. Bought for $500 in Dec 2017. It was one of the boards we showed at the Maritime Museum at the surf expo held in Hyannis in 2010. It has a beautiful butterfly on both decks and at 7 ft with a curved nose it’s a perfect barrel rider for Cape waves and I plan to have my surfing buddy, Everett surf it this winter. Clean deck and great rails.
Myrtle Beach Robbery
Original Stewart Step Deck
Original Stewart Step Deck
97. 9’6” Stewart Step Deck: Highway Robbery on 17 probably should go down in the police blotter in Myrtle Beach This story is crazy. On the phone just leaving Mass talking with a guy who I made arrangements to buy a board from in Ayer, mass. I tell the guy I’ll send him $$ the next morning when I get to Myrtle. He’s mad that he knows I'm not going to get the board in the time he wants me too. I arrive in Myrtle the next morning and by noon time go to the post office and send $200 by express mail and text him a pic of the receipt with tracking code. Back at the house in Myrtle I called a guy who had an ad up on craigslist in Myrtle for some time for an old classic Stewart longboard. Stewart is known worldwide but it’s really a different Stewart. This Stewart. is from New Jersey and one of his original boards in the East Coast Hall of Fame Charlie Bunger Surf board collection. I know it's already gone but what the hell the craigslist ad is up? The guy tells me he did sell the board but is still waiting on the check and if it doesn come soon he is going to put it back out on the market. He knows now that it is worth more than he was asking originally and I can tell by the pic it is a winner!!!
I go surfing and then get a call from the guy I sent the money to who now realizes that I'm telling him the truth and knows I’m down in Myrtle beach by the postal receipt. Now he asks if I have room in my truck for a board. I Ugh! and ask if it is for a 9’4 Stewart. Yes! He is the guy sending the money and he’s getting anxious. He even calls me later and asks if I’ll pay the $150 and get him the board if his check doesn’t show. The next day he calls late in the morning and says that he is not getting the board because the check did come and the guy now wants more. Soon as he gets off the phone I call the guys with the Stewart board and make arrangements to go see it. He’s only ten minutes away!!! When I arrive at the gated community the guys show me an incredible clean step deck board from the height of the longboard eras with all the bells and whistles. The fin is a white wave set with black v painted around the box. The name Stewart is displayed twice on the bottom deck near the nose in bold letters. I paid the original asking price of $300. She easily worth twice what I paid for it. The board was displayed at the 2019 Old Timers surf contest.
Dewey Weber Performer

98. 9’ 4” Dewey Weber Performer: Wide Flowered Top bought in Philadelphia from board faciato Steve Parmenter
Dewey Weber 9’4” with flowered cloth inlay that had is light for it’s wide size. I needed to sand down nose on both top and bottom and same with tail end but definitely a cool surfboard from the longboard era. The fin, after consultation, was cleaned of the oxidation using a box cutter blade. It turned the fin from a dull glazed grey to the original blue tint. Awesome Board standing up or laying down!!!
Surfboards East
Surfboards East
99. Surfboards East: made in New Jersey 9’8” by Jim Phillips that has some great lines and at just under ten feet will catch everything coming your way. Total noserider!!! I met my friend Steve on the way back from Myrtle back to pick these up. He’s the bomb. Who else would meet a guy roadside a 9 pm on a Saturday night outside of Philly. Nuts!! We talked boards for a few minutes and then exchange cash and the boards and off I went headed for the cape. I fixed up the several dings on the board and Mark used the board in the 2018 Old Timers when he was back. I had cleaned it but Mark waxed it all up and I might just leave it that way. The factory for East coast was on the shore in Ashbury Park and Bruce Springsten and his band would practice in the shop and Bruce himself worked on making fins for boards. Maybe mine was made by Bruce as hinted at in my board collection video part 2 put out by Cape Cod Wave by Brian Darcy.

Surfboards East Plastic Fantastic
101. 8’4” Surfboard East Plastic Fantastic: $1500 (nuts!!!)
I finally picked up the board from the guy in Ayer mass David?? Steve?? I met him in the parking lot the weekend I came back from Myrtle in Worcester past i-90 at exit 23? He also had a challenger micro from 1968 that he also was selling that he told me he would bring. I finally got my hands on the surfboards east plastic fantastic and its awesome color and while it has a few marks on it from 50 plus years of storage it is beautiful!!! I had sent him money through paypal so the board was paid for but I brought cash for the other board. I didn't have any protective cover for it so I weaseled the board cover out of him as I bought the micro challenger as well for $400. After putting on an old blue matching in from another Eastern Challenger board I bought a new vintage fin that matches must better.
Challenger Micro
Challenger Micro
102. 8’6” Challenger Micro: $400 still has the old wax from the guy I got it from on it. I don't think it's worth what I paid for it! What an idiot I am sometimes! But it is a Challenger Micro and try finding one. Still need to clean and check it out before it gets used or hung. Cleaned in January of 2019 but still needs to be rewaxed and ridden.
Oceanside
Oceanside
103. 6’6” Oceanside serial #1247: Swallow Tail triple stringer with beautiful green foam top with darker green trim and bottom. Looks like the original fin which has some small slices in one area. No leash plug. Guy had two boards, an old beat up hobie that I felt was beyond repair and the Oceanside. He felt the Hobie was worth the money because that was what he had the most memories of. He told me great stories of going surfing at Marconi beach before there was a road which I also heard about another guy a few years later. He didn’t say much about the Oceanside but I bought it for $100 and thought I should have paid more. Left the hobie but since I already had plenty of junk Hobies. Learned that Oceanside was a shop in Cocoa Beach run by East Coast Hall of Fame inductee Bill Feinberg. The Oceanside Spoiler is one of the most popular boards made and copied by China today. A forum post had this to say about the shop. What a great place- Marjane and Mike Margolis- they always treated me great and I was just a dorky kid. I bought my first new board from them in '69- a short board- beautiful maroon colored twin fin. They were so great ot me- they let me pay $10 a week on that board until I had paid it off, but they let me take it out and surf it all day and then bring it back at the end of the day. They gave me a free bar of wax every week as well! Those are some good memories. I remember hearing the surf reports in Orlando from them, always ending with "This is Mike Margolis (or Marjane) from Oceanside Surf Shop, Cocoa Beach!"
http://www.floridasurfmuseum.org/kahunas/bill-feinberg-east-coast-surfing-hall-fame
Founded by Bill Feinberg in the early sixties. He and his wife Marjane ran the business until about 1983 when they sold everything and took off on a sailboat for points south. They're still cruising the islands and occasionally come through Brevard and stop in for a visit.The retail shop was where Natural Art is now. Roger Bakst, Mike Margolis and then Jim Maher ran the store in Bill and Mar's absence (they liked to cruise in their sailboat, even back then). The factory was originally in Rockledge. After a couple of fires (purportedly arson), they moved to a factory in Eau Gallie. They also made boards under the Ron Jon label for the Cocoa Beach retailer in their factory before opening their own retail store at the south end of Cocoa Beach. In 1970, they started selling G&S's in the retail store and offered them along with their own Oceanside boards. Later they added Hobie's.
In 1971 or '72, they closed their factory and subcontracted the building of their Oceanside boards to G&S in San Diego. Some of their popular models over the years included: The Spoiler and the Javelin. Some of their shapers included: Johnny Rice, Wayne Land and Pat O'Hare. Dean Ward and Tomb and Reeves also worked in the factory at various times. One of the more popular boards here mid-sixties thru early 70s. Sand floor with large stepping stones in da shop.
Lotsa hot guys rode for Feinberg.
Mako Surfboard
Mako Surfboard
104. 9’ 9”Mako: A total score this board came up on craigslist and I somehow was the first caller even though the guy didn't return the call for a few days. The board was located in the Rehoboth/Attleboro area and I left school early while Kyle was still working and got the board paid $150 and the board is almost mint the numbers look like they were just written on it yesterday. The blue tinted layers and the overall lightness of the board make it a winner. I need to repair a small ding on the tail area and the board must be surfed! Saw one listed for $600 summer 2019 that was a piece of shit. Stupidly traded to Chick for some thing I can't remember now. What an idot I am sometimtes. I never learn. Other people's trash is someone else's gold!!!

121: 6’ ?” Skipps surfboard: bought in Warren, RI. Probably have had more fun buying the board at this guys garage tucked in off the highway in Warwick, Rhode island than any other. He was quite the character and had a motorcycle and lots of other junk piled into the small garage under the house. The first board an australian Skipp was light as a feather and cool striping I had to have it and l gave Tim every penny I had plus starbuck coffee card to sweeten the deal.. He also had a cool sign and he let me get one which was an original ford porcelain. We sipped cold coors in the garage and talked shit for 20 minutes before I finally left. I came back a week later with my wife and picked up another board and Hawaian island Creation and was headed for Myrtle Beach . I used the board all week in the small surf boogie boarding. The top pads made it awesome for riding!!! Tim has one more board a Neon Orange Russell that I need to get (Cracked)

Power Tool
Power Tool
132. David Endress Design Power Tool: l $100classic 80’s colors.
Dave Endress is a long time east coast shaper that used to shape under the label PowerTools and now shapes all the Pride boards and runs the GlassTech glassing shop outside of Wilmington, North Carolina.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxFBihkh_rE
Glass Tech, Inc. was founded by Dave Endress in 1976. The company currently manufactures approximately 800-1,000 boards per year, and employs five people, including Endress himself. "It’s my way of participating in the surfing world," he says. "I have a love of the craftsmanship of making boards, creating designs that are successful for the waves we ride, tailoring a board to specific guys."
Customers can buy one of Endress’ boards off the rack at 17th Street Surf Shop, under the Pride label, or place an order for a custom board at 17th Street. For Endress, customs are where it’s at. "Everyone wants something a little different than the next guy," he says. "Buying stock isn’t conducive to the complete surfing experience."
Here is a snap of two legends, Will "Robert's Grom" McEachern and a Classical Glass thruster, shaped by Dave Endress. Mr. Endress, who started his craft in 1973, is arguably the godfather of surfboard shaping in southeastern North Carolina. Many of the area's top shapers, including Will Allison, Greg Eavey and Shawn O'Donnell, and others worked with and under Mr. Endress over the years. Mr. Endress has been a longtime shaper for 17th Street Surf Shop and has operated a few different labels under his name Classical Glass, Power Tools, and now Glass Tech, which operates in the L.A. of Brunswick County.

Keoki Popout
Keoki Popout
139. 9’ 8” Keoki Popout: ( $175) Craigslist in New Hampshire as part of a two board deal. Incredible pop out from the very early 60’s in great condition for its age. Needed my cleaning skills to bring out the real patina. Keoki is part of some Hawaiin greeting. Drove to part on North Shore, Mass that is known for hardcore surfers but I never go there. The guy even had to tell me what he meant by the Brownies which ended up being some lobster shack everyone goes to. These kind of pop outs are getting real valuable as bar tops because of the usual completely flat shape, great logo, and colorful patina. Jeff, the owner, had some heavy involvement with surfing. He spoke about hitting some double overhead barrels on the shortboards that he was selling. He also surfed in Chick Frodigh’s first original New England longboard classic which was held at ????. I felt bad for the guy because he said he was on a second bout of brain cancer. He just had a tumor removed but he was still hoping to someday get back out and surf. Some guys never give up! I paid his full price! I didn't want to be a prick and haggle with someone I saw Jeff as a true soul surfer.

141. 7’11” Hansen 50/50 Mini: ($180) From Craiglsit in Myrtle Beach from this guy Wes, who ended up asking for more money after another collector from Charleston told him how much it was supposedly worth. Wes, however, didn't really tell anyone however that his son has used a wood burning tool to drill two holes through the stringer including the logo. All I’m told to save $50 bucks on a set of board hangers. He said his son was an artist. A Tattoo artist is what is what I say. What an ass! He even used the tool to burn eyelash marks everywhere and made huge gouge lines along where the added volon cloth for kneedpadlling shows. Then Wes added more to the damage and used a razor blade to remove some paint his son had used on the back of the board! To make this deal even worse my son refused to go pick up the board because he felt it was too far to drive (20 minutes) highway with board on top of his car even though we have the soft start setup to use. My wife chinmed in as well so I had to find another way to get the board. I did, however, convince my wife to go drive down to Myrtle beach for Memorial Day to visit our son at our house there and Wes after some wrangling was willing to wait as long as I paid his full price! It sucked but I did get the board. I drove 900 miles in 14 hrs and picked up the board after surfing first at 44th street in Myrtle then taking the 15 minute drive to Little River where the board was. Wes felt bad and gave me little trinkets he didn’t need that were part of his former surf theme decor. Luckily, I chose a wooden mermaid that was approx 3 ft long. My wife loved it when I showed up at the beach house and put it on the outside back wall. I win!!!

Blue Hawaii - Cino - Watershed
142. 6’6” Blue Hawaii (Cino) (Serial # 931478): ($60) CG Boston I don't know why sometimes boards just draw me in. This vintage 1993 BH Ful Barrell is no prize but for the $60 (price of a good dinner out) I made a crazy trip to Boston /Cambrdige and picked up a board made by a heradled shaper from Hawaii, Cino Magallanes. Granted this board has some nasty repair work already done but she is surfable and has that "I've been ridden and tubed many times look" that I love. The Cino has been given the traditional cleaning and I did some work on the tail to make it surfable and it feels good in the hands. Someone will want to ride her again someday. The back side is in need of a cleaning and small repairs.
Cino Magallanes Obit
https://dukesurf.com/en/Legendary-Hawaiian-shaper-Cino-Magallanes-has-passed-away/
From Instagram
This 6'3" Blue Hawaii was shaped in 1992 by Cino Magallanes (RIP). Even though the board is now 33 years old, it wouldn't feel out of place on a rack of high performance surfboards at your local surf-shop today. When I think of Cino's surfboards, I mostly remember him as shaping at Hawaiian Island Creations, however, he obviously also shaped for Blue Hawaii. Cino shaped surfboards for a number of well known surfers including @sunnygarcia , @hans.hedemann.5 , @shanedorian , @_johnnyboy_gomes and his son @jasonmags1
Rainbow Surfboards
Rainbow Surfboards
143: 6’1” Rainbow: $125 Craiglist Orleans, MA Bought this board closest to the beach then any other. I was right down the street from Nauset Beach which is the shark capital of Cape Cod now but has been the premier surfing location on the cape for over fifty years when people started surfing the cape. I’ve heard of legendary breaks at times long before both time and hurricanes have shifted the look of the Beach on the most violent ocean coast in the world. The board looked like total shit but underneath was the airbrushed 80’s look that I knew I'd get out. Amazing looking graphics made in Florida by shaper Stu Sharpe http://sharpe-surf.com/ The old repairs peeled right off with a paint scraper and then quick sanding in some areas and polish brought the rst to life. A few very small holes need to be repaired but I feel I’ve doubled her value in wall hanger status at least. Looks really cool next to the airbrushed Blue Hawaii that I recently got as well. The guy had another board as well laying on the bug riddled dirt beside the house. It was a real old Surfboards Australia that certainly was made in late 60 early 70’s with no leash plug and just over or under 8 ft. I’ll get it, look below hopefully as one of my next pick ups. Doug didt have any great stories about big waves at nauset, only that he hurt himself the last time going out (broken ribs) and wasn't thinking about really returning to the surf.

Luckily I had been roofing all week on the side and had some hundreds I was suppose to use on other boards but once I had it in my hands it was over. I actually picked it up in my 67 mustang and so it easy a classic ride with the board stickin out the window driving back on the cape people must have relaly been looking at me like I was crazy.I even went back to work to finish the morning off for the last day of the year and possible forever at Riverview depending how covid goes and my pown piurlookon what ot do next. But I kne what indeed to tdo that afternoon and that was go to the beachcombe with my wife for shrimg pa dnddrinks and pissible surf. I was even thingking about the nw board until I got hme ans really started o look at her and siads im takingit to the comah.

150: 6’8” Dewey Weber Ski (?): $375 Finally picked up by Brian the week and waiting myself to put my hands on her. I have read lots about The Ski and have always wanted one. It will hopefully look super next to the small weber performer. It’s not right next to the performer but one board over. It does look great in the museum. When I picked it up the wax on it was old but still in good shape to almost take the board for a spin but I decided to clean it and go over it good to check for any possible damage before rewaxing and riding it here on the cape! A real gem!!! Original fin!!!

151: 7’6” Hansen Superlight Mini (?): $200 from Craigslist Brewster. I had just left Kenny’s house in Harwich shaking a deal on buying his collection or primo boards (Morey-Pope, Weber, Noll, Bunger) when this pops up on craigs just minutes from Kenny and just another exit down the road from me. Total score!!! The guy was great and said that he had surfed it at Wells beach in Maine during 68 or 69 and a few times on the cape (doubtful from the look of the board). Cleaned up amazing and a few small dings fixed, I'm ready to give her a spin hopefully on the Cape or down South this fall or winter. Brain Hansen is looking to trade for other boards but not interested. This bnoartd has an incrdible stringer that typical of hansen pf this time stops 3/4 of the way down the nose.

Purchased from Kenny C after 4 months of making payments on three boards I was allowed to take this one home for Christmas! Kenny has semi restored her where she is all sanded down and ready for a new gloss coat! Question is what color or colors and why not just leave her as she is. In comparison to my other Da Cat this one is much lighter in design and weight and I feel much better rider than my first but who knows if I'll ever surf that one. I’ve seen very few of these ever go for sale and always in the $4,000 range for one that’s nice. As a rider she’s priceless to me!

Morey Pope Blue Machine
Morey Pope Blue Machine
156: 1967 9’6” Morey Pope Blue Machine - serial # - This Morey-Pope Blue Machine was kept for many years by original owner Andrew McKinney when it first was delivered in 1967 to his Surf City shop in Wellfleet. Some 40 years later, I was just finishing setting up my surfboard display at top of the hill at White Crest ( 4-Mile). That afternoon would be the Cape Cod Oldtimers Surf contest and I wanted to proudly display my boards after a few years of searching. I've been collecting boards since 1986 when I first started surfing but the past few years I've been spurred on to find even more vintage boards. I had over 20 boards on display including names like Hobie, Weber, Gordon and Smith, some short boards, and a few popouts.
As I was taking my first sips of Coors and relaxing, up comes an older gentleman, who starts a conversation about boards. He tells me he loves my museum and that he used to be a shop owner years ago. He then boldly tells me he has a vintage board rarer then anything I have because it was one of the first transitional boards which was made by Morey Pope and designed by Bob Cooper. I asked if he was interested in selling it and he said yes and he actually had it out in the parking lot on his car. I said go get it!
Just as he left, they called the first heat which was of course the Old Timers. My heat! In moments, I was headed down the hill to the beach below with my vintage rider for the event which was a Abercrombie and Fitch popout with a port hole in the nose. It would be hrs before I came back up the hill smashed from Willys Wipeout punch and surf fever.
The grills were lit and food and crowds of surfers were jostling about as we waited for Jasper's legendary owner Mike Haughton to give out the awards. There I saw the old gentleman standing with Kenny Collings, both a respected legendary surfer and vintage board collector, looking down at was just a marvelous looking blue colored surfboard with large black rubberized like pads covering several portions of the boards instead of slipdeck material. Very innovative for the time!
Kenny starts shaking hands and walks off with the the board! I'm shocked and as it getting dark rush to start putting my own vintage boards into my truck back bed. The lot was empty when I pulled out my truck pilled with museum pieces and rain coming down. I was pissed! Kenny had stolen the board from under my nose as far as I was concerned but since I had already bought several boards from Kenny I also knew that he would likely sell it to me but for much more than what he paid.
Months later, I attended the Newport Surfest 5 put on by Water Bros's Sid Abruzzi, one of the most iconic surf shop owners in New England! It was awesome! The boards were incredible! Just walking in we saw circles of amazing short boards stack on the ground and then inside a big tent vintage boards galore. Every maker and model was represented! I had known about the Surfest and knew I should have followed up and brought boards to show. What a fool I had been. Regardless, I walked the walk carefully examining different logos and styles and just falling in love with tons of boards!
Afterwards, we watch the incredible skateboarders cranking down the ramp that had been built for the event. I was almost unable to walk away from the vintage cars with boards displayed next to them. As we walked out, I knew I'd be buying more boards soon!
It would be days later when I looked at online post displaying a picture of the best board of show. There was Kenny Collings standing in front of the crowd with the blue machine hoisted high in the air. Fuck!

It will make a solid rider!!!! I’ve already take a second look at board and descended down some of the spots that were repaired and waiting for some fresh patch work. This board is definitely cool and has real nice thickness to the body that makes it look like it will totally rip!

159: 6’8” Design 1 Fred Hemmings Jr. model: ($300)
I had seen a really cool Design 1 online from Burlinton and knew instantly it was my friend Brian, who I have bought andtraded boards before. I heard from Brain and after a few text and a long call made arrangement with him to stop by my house with the Design 1 and look at trades by It old him I have cash. lots more to say
Oh lordy lordy, my past returns to haunt me. Sold those for a few years, well made board and that one is in good shape. Not what I'd call super-inspired or super-innovative design or shaping but a good board in general. Very good usable board in, say, waist-head high stuff, held an edge well, a high line trim back a little from the widest point is what makes it go best, if memory still serves.
Rod Sumpter was connected with the company as a kind of team rider/sales rep of sorts, early-mid '70s, when he came through here and I met him. Nice guy, by the way. I seem to recall that they were East Coast made, Jim Phillips would know better than me. That one was right around the Reno Abillera super-scooped nose era, I think the company faded away before twin fins came out, might have gone down with the ship during the Honeycomb hollow boards thing, I think they fiddled with that some.. I don't think there's any successor company you could look to for records, but give me a week to see if we still have anything on paper to do with the ones we sold, though 30 years ago, I dunno . If you can see the serial number, that wouldn't hurt. They ran ads in the magazines as well, and in that era shapes were quite different every year to push boards, so that might help a lot in dating it.
That help any??

Drove at 5:30 am and through Boston to get there and when it came to take the board the guys started to say he was having second thoughts. I had already given him the money and had the board in hand and almost ran toward my Bronco. I was back on the highway in minutes and psyched to find such an iconic 80’s board! It did take me almost three day to slowly get all the cemented wax off her but she looks incredible. She has had some small professional repairs and then one poorly done job on one fin.

Bought the board from the original owner after getting info from matt at pumphouse. Matt didnt like the board because the logo on back had shrunk the foam but I knew this was common for board of the early era especially Hansen the glu the used would expand creating air bubbles after it shelf life expired
The original owner was only a teen in 1964 when he ordered it directly from Hansen and paid for it working after school for months.

Bill,
Sorry, for the delay in responding. I had several boards with a butterfly on them. I have only one picture of a butterfly board. It is me standing next to my favorite board which was a Steve Biggler with a pintail custom made for me to ride in the Malibu Invitational Surf Classic in 1967. I was one of the youngest surfers and I beat Corky Carroll and Barry Kaiapuni (not sure of spelling for his last name)in my heat. Barry was from Hawaii and known for his bottom turns. Those were the good old days! Mike Ballard
Co
Compared to many of his counterparts who built surfboards in the 1960’s, Constantine “Con” Colburn could almost be considered a senior citizen when he began surfing at the age of 22, in 1956. And though Con may not have been known for his surfing prowess, he made significant contributions to the sport as a product innovator.
A savvy young businessman, Con quickly recognized the growth-potential of the surf industry, and opened his first surf shop in Santa Monica, California, in 1958. Called the Surf House, it was originally a ding repair shop; by 1959, Con had changed the name to Con Surfboards, and operated three retail locations. The legend was born.
Along with his Con Surfboards business, he also started ConTrol Products, a company dedicated to developing new products for the surfing industry. Between 1966 and 1971, ConTrol introduced a floating removable-fin system, a surfboard traction spray and the first commercially-produced* surf leash, called the Power Cord. Con is also credited with inventing and introducing the leash plug during the same year; after other methods of attaching leashes failed, today’s leash plug remains essentially unchanged from Con’s original design.

I've been hitting some gems on an app called Offer Up. usually not a of of surf items but does happen and always priced way less than usual places. My bro Paul hooked me first on another board already listed (C-Glas). It was Paul again with the quick eye while I was dpown in Myrtle and we snaged this gem. I had to push Paul to get to get 20 min from his house in North Carolina . Told him to work the price. When I called him later I couldn't believe he actually got the board for $50 dollars. Sweet colors and lines up and down the boards with incredible MTB logo fins.

Sweet deal from Facebook that had the board listed in Fall River for $150. saw it only 6 hrs after listing but figured it was already gone. phyced to get the message it was available and somehow convince my wife is was a great day to geo se eh 97 year old mom despite it snowing outside and 20 out I told her I was getting the board and also planned on going surfing at Newport's second beach despite the 20 degree temps and wind chill in the teens. I had luckily just received some checks for extra work so Marie was fine with me spending $ and met the dude at the Job lot in Fall River. The board look like it had bee in the garbage and when seeing the guys Fall River recycling shirt I understood why. He said he had surf when he was younger and need to get to Florida soon and laughed. It was fucking freezing and he's hold the surfboard in a parking lot full of snow!! He says he sees lot of these and promise to get in touch again. He even text me after that "it's a work of art." It sure is! Built for paddling into big waves with beautiful green trim and yellow back. It had lots of crappy work done to it that definetly needs work and some gashes that I hadn't seen in the pics. He knew it was needing lots of work and I started off with you listed it for $150 BUT ... he quickly cut in and said if $100 was okay and I said great!
I placed he board in the car and drove off not sure really what I had. We stopped for lunch meat (veal loaf) went to Marie's mom for a few minutes, then I went off to Newport. Arriving in Newport, the waves were incredible with a dozen guys out in what looked to be head high or better bombs. I josted for a front parking space and was in the water in minutes What a f.. wave!! Inspired as I always am after buying the board the shape of the wave that day demanded step drops to make the long rides going right to start and then left as the tide pulled out. The 70's style fat swallow tail had been made for just that but my cannibal performance long board always can be counted on to transform itself into the weapon most needed to rip!!! Epic ride for over 1 and half with 20 degree weather seemed like a glorious summer day!!!

193: 6'8" Fox Surfboards Gun: Probably the second closest I've ever traveled to go get a board. Ad from Facebook? made arrangement to meet at exit 10 car lot just 3 miles away. Board was a total mess. I has seen the pic online and had ever written in message that I thought the price of $350 was way over its value but he had still agreed to met me so I was planning on spending no more than $200 and want to pay really on $100. I just trouble finding money but had luck with a small check from work and a little cash and then the usual take out $100 from account hurts but I could be buying heroin with the cash! Buying boards of course is just like taking a drug, it get's you high on the chase purchase and revitalization of the board.
The Fox boards its self had both tails brokse and in need of repairs and a few holes and old repairs that needed

Losordo and Wirick Butterfly Surfboard.
Scored this board and the next in an incredible deal with limited cash involved!!! Paul from Fall River who I've been buying board soff of fro the last few years. I would send him pics od the boards after fixing them and he love my work. One day, he text me a a request for me to fix a board that had been cut in half. I go one board for free and paid $180 for the other! The board has a beautiful ocean blue top and slick yellow bottom and feels great in his hands and look fun to ride!!! Losordo was a Cape Cod guy known for the Hawaiian Moon boards which I also just recently picked up in the last year or so. and Wirick ??

I heard the Petrillo name thrown around a few times in board buying circles and had the name on my wanted list. My friend Keith in Carolina said he found a beat up one for $100. the pics showed an old gun and it would be a months before we would be back down south and able to connect but he saved it for me. Incredible!!! When I did pick it up I feel in love with its overall shape and feel. It scoops up at the nose and has plenty of foam to float a guy me size!

Gordon & Smith Magic: This sweet board is really a blast from the past . They only made these shapes for very small window of times as shapers transitioned from the making larger boards to short over the period of a few years. Knife like rails, rounded bottom and wave set fin!!! Can't get any more historic than one of these G&S Magic sticks with the colorful Hendrix driven logo and barrel riding capabilities!!! Totally restored in 2023 with light repairs and polishing.

Plastic Fantastic- 6'2": Nice single fin bought in Amish country outside Phildelphia on my way back from Myrtle Beach to Cape Cod for $225.00. Crazy to see the real Amish for the first time!! Got it from a cool antigue store and headed quickly back out to highway some miles away from Phildelphia. I cleaned it up and even colored some of the spots that need it with orange tinted fiberglass. Square tail design with no leash plug making ceratinly early 70's. Rainbow fin has been poorly refixed by previous owner and hopefully someday I can make it look more like it should. Will certianly take some work!!

It has real deep colored bluer and red with and added ornage stipe going acroo sthe backside. Very rare for it to be in the condition it is based on how bad the foam they made them is.

7'2" Surfboard Hawaii. This amazing Surfboards Hawaii I somehow ended up with despite being over 500 mile away from it when it went on
Facebook. I contacted the guy and he loved my museum and didn't want to sell it to anyone but me but of course wanted more for the board after he recieved numerous calls for it. Paid the extra cash and picked up on my way down to Myrtle at Marland University. Guy came and met me at the hotel and Marie neve knew I bought a board on the trip down. Sneaky I am at times to avoid trouble.

7'10" 1968 Dewey Weber Feather Fastback
I bought this board just before school year ended and took a day off to go chase it up in Connecticut border by one of the Casinos. Seems like there is a casino everywhere around RI/Conn borders. The guy almost didn't want to sell it in the end after he talked som much trash about surfing it on Cape Cod and Maine. Couldn't have surfed it much since it was in such great shape. The Feather Fastback just need some real cleaning to get the wax the was inbedded in it after sitting for almost 50 years!!! One of my coolest Webers!!!

8'0" Big Boy Sting: Found this on Facebook down South during the earlyt wintger and waited until new Year's to get as a Christmasa present. MY youngest son, Colin lives near Charleston and this was within range. My wife and I drove to a small town called Monks Corner to pickup from an amazing big wave surfer. While he spoke of living in Hawaii and Spain at some time in his life and showe me pics of he cathing great waves. Sadly, he had purchased this board, done some paint work, and rode it once before finding out he had cancer and needed surgery. He can no longer paddle. I already rode it once at Myrtle and I'm sure it will gets lots of use of the next few years!!!

Jim Phillips Daily Joy Surfboards - 6'2" Serial # ?? Purchased Jan 21, 2026 and my first offical board of the year with a deposit on the next in line. This twin fin by Phillips is really special with its own "Clone Approved Design" logo from what looks like a MR twin fin. Not sure. It has two slight notches down the rail and matching colored glasssed on fins. The triple stringer set up starts six inch wide at the tail and feathers to two at the tip. Top deck is in sweet condition with cool Daily Joy logo and bright orange color tint and green pinstripping. Classic work by a true crafstman that is sexy even to this day!!!
