I’m 99% certain this board was made by Bob McTavish in Ventura in 1970. It was right at the end of the Morey/Pope era, and McTavish had left for Australia before the board was finished. It was sold through the Morey Pope shop on Front Avenue in Ventura unsanded and untuned. It was purchased by Ross Cave, finished, and ridden at Rincon and La Conchita Point. A great find!

If it’s the flextail I’m thinking of, it has a deep displacement hull under the nose, and the nose is pointed, rather than full and round. The tail was a fairly wide arc tail.

Thanks Paul for post this. I will have pic’s tomrrow to post. It’s the board there thinkingit is. It has the full hull bottom it was painted red at one time.I sure need to get a temp for the fin. The board was covered in white paint on the deck and the bottm had some gray boat bottom paint. It was sealed from the sun it’s still clear volan. The bottom was beat bad. I knew it had hit the rocks at rincon? I will have it on my website tomrrow. surfnwsc.com. I’m stoked and plan to build one just for fun and see how close i can come. Rob

Rob any idea who had the board previously to finding it in the trash?? it would be kinda cool to trace back it’s history and travels from ground zero on front street, Ventura to Washington.
