[ I am glad to see that people will be actually able to** surf **them , not just stand around talking blah blah blah , eh ?! ]
Hey Ben, keep an eye out for any elusive old Wild designs…I imagine there’s still a few kicking around the Vic coast. Happily most are well worn.
hi Greg !
seems the insular peninsular only ride boards from there , mate ?
one guy told me he hadn’t visited the island for thirty years …
anyway ,
a few preliminary pics to whet your appetite
Really nice to FINALLY see a bonzer three in person [even if it WASN’T a campbell bros] . LOVE the full length concaves eh !!
… It’s just a pity you were not there , Josh Dowling , as ‘tree to sea’ were … And I would have liked to meet you , as well as fondle your boards ? ]
Who did make the Bonzer Ben? With a bolt and all…
Did your brother sell any boards and what were the prices like ?
More pics please Ben.
hi cass !
I will have to check for logo and deck shots of it ?
hi brett
yep , he sold a byrne twinny , a bargain at 200 bucks
ben aipa and m.r. twinnys were asking 900
And , an Al Byrne assymetrical ? … obviously more !
the young guy who had these boards , had AMAZING condition boards .
have you seen the ’ vintage surfboard collectors ’ page , on facebook ? [ I just sent you a link , in an email , mate]
It reminds me of someone else’s collection … :)
some more logos …
another Oke [ R.I.P. ]
…how did THIS [from west oz] sneak in here ? ha !
… I saw a few ‘spoon salesmen’ [fawlty] , this day , too !
bump
anyone interested in seeing the REST of the boards there ?
I took HEAPS of photos…
Hey Ben, lovin’ it, keep 'em coming!
Eye candy!!!]
MORE
Yes Ben, more photos please.
What is that brownish colored board next to the two Bolts?
Love that color!
Good stuff!
…yes, put more photos; specially if you got more angles or closer ones of the Bolts and the other in that photo, the Brown/fabric inlay longboard, etc
Thanks
cheers guys !
sorry Bazza , I 'm not sure who made that.
I know that the board to the right of it is a pat morgan board , the guy who did the single keels that wayne lynch and nat rode , at bells …
not sure WHO made the orange bonzer , either . I was manning my brother’s stall while HE walked around too, so didn’t get to photograph EVERY board there [unfortunately]
I loved the crozier kneeboards , the bonzers , the spoons , and the aipa twinny.
not sure if the bolts were re-releases , or restorations …
tree to sea ,
who do workshop on making hollow wooden boards , also had a stand there …
here’s an old timer’s car and board …
…nearly put this on the ’ all kneel and spray ’ thread , but they are not MINE …
I like the Crozier , especially ! [ the yellow ‘spoon’ , on the left ]
‘lowrider’ here had a few , from memory ?
a bunch of old ‘locals’, who someone made the mistake of giving a microphone to , so they could tell all their old 'I ripped , back in the day 'stories …
Yes , sure you did , mate . SURE you did ! [ WHATEVER you reckon !!]
[ yawn]
( Today’s ripping [and boards] might be a notch more than the ‘performance’ that the boards of the 1950s , 1960s , and early 1970s allowed , methinks … :) )
…by contrast …
a young guy there [ who I spent AGES talking with !]
was making THESE , as he had had a few requests.
Apparently , these are the oz and the american versions that he had been making …
A good bloke , with an interesting array of old relic boards , too. He is as surf-stoked as they come !
Here are some of his relics … and , YES … he surfs them ALL ! [ as seen on facebook]
