Hi guys
Can anyone help me with the history of this Surf Board. It was given to me by a friend in the UK last year.
Cheers
Mark
surfline was"THE" shop in the 70’s It was located on Piikoi Street across Ala Moana Shopping Center
it was a peer to Lightning Bolt(Kapiolani Street)
as was Buddy Dumphy who was a mentor and peer to Gerry Lopez.
His boards are collector items if restored
Buddy Dumphy and Ryan Dotson were the premier Surfline shapers at the time.
Many guys from our area like Dickie DeLong, Chris Gardner, Chris Green, and others worked for Surfline back in the 70’s.
Dave Rochlen started it and now runs just a clothing offshoot called jamsworld which makes high end resort wear
they have a new store in Kalihi by the prison off dillingham.
I’ve had this board for a long time. I really wanna fix it up, its a smooth ride! Always wondered if it could be collectible.
go check Randy Rarrick’s Auction Site
I belive he had a restored buddy dumphy on sale their years back
