First custom board....


5'10"X "put the fin as far back as possible!"

I'm pretty sure that was what somebody in the Safari shop must have written on the order sheet. Loved that board tho', pic taken around '69 or '70. Shaped by Mike Larmont before he opened his own surf shop. Corduroy pants by Hang10..... I swear to God!

Been riding a similar shape off and on this summer, more of a pig, less rocker, and a bit thicker. But same exact fin and same era, late 60’s. Good times.

Yousure Bates didn't shape that?
