WHERE’S THE PHOTO!!!

aussie brethren Josh sent me pics last night:

Quote:

It was made by a Sydney company called Ron Wade Surfboards and Ted Spenscer shaped there for a while. pretty good condition and may have some volane patches.

It has a Greenough stage 3 fin? i think.

My guess is vintage 1967 ?? and that turns out to be when Ron Wade opened his shop.

thanks chip and george! I can’t wait to ride it, its comming with me to Angourie in about 2 weeks, super stoked! :slight_smile:

If you get the chance to do a road trip Josh …

try to drop in to Scott Dillon’s surf museum , just north of Coffs Harbour , and compare it to the Hayden he has there [maybe you can get a photo of the two boards together !]

cheers !
