hi Greg Wild !

 

  here , finally is a shot of a board you made …

 

  5’9 , but it seems shorter .

 

 I also included the other people in this thread , as the board’s owner , Rod aka ‘Caveman’, has THREE  other boards [ his first three boards he ever made ] , also with winged keels / "star fins "…

Oldie but goodie! I think I made that for Paul Hart…

Clean the ton of old wax off and it looks to be in pretty good nik…

you have a good memory , Greg !

 

  it DOES , indeed , say  Paul on the stringer between  wild and design , too

 

 Any idea what year this would have been made , and did you make many OTHERS  like this ?

 

 

You should see Rod’s FIRST board he ever made , he says as about a 14 year old !  [ I have photos of it , too … want to see them ?]

 

 

  cheers

I was a big McCoy design fan and made a whole lot of these.
On my obligatory North Coast run in the early 80’s I saw him and Skip at Anga. Changed my opinion on how I wanted to surf, they were streaks ahead of what I had seen before that time.
