Brewer Mid 70's Shapes

 

Clear 5’10" wing swallow template 

6’6" sting template 

Bottoms on these were interesting too .

my calabash cousin Kimo Farm, a couple years younger than his punahou classmate gerry had a custom version of the white swallow on the far right from brewer. concave tail I believe fast as hell, a popular design with owl back then. This is when ButchP and Dickie Delong and Chris Gardner ruled our homebreak Sharkcountry.

I believe owl had him put an air vent with a flap in one version with moon trifin side bites.

I wanted something like that so bad I had iggy make me something similar around 73-74 which was a great board but not the brewer.

Story in the magazine was that RB bought the 5’10" back after selling it he liked it so much .

And it does have a concave tail .

 

That could have been ad copy for Brewer! 

same thing happenned in the 90’s

after seeing Curren ride that Tommy Petersen 

I asked Jeff Bushman via Haleiwa Surf n Sail  to make me one

I got a great board

bushman’s version of a flying fishback then

but it wasn’t a Peterson with the channels which I believe Spider had the license to makie in the US at the time

 

 

Can’t help myself

LOVE the one Mr. Brewers hand is on…
