Hi,
just need some help in identifying this board in the shot? Shot taken 1956 March looks like Hawaii Waikiki? Balsa board? Emblom looks Army? and a rental no 3 possibly.Anybody have any ideas?
Thank you, Alex

could also be white plains aka “officer’s beach”… was military surf & swim spot southwest oahu…
The board is from Hale Au Au Surfboards. They were located on Waikiki Beach, pretty much on the Diamond Head side of the old Waikiki Tavern, circa mid 1950’s.
Location is a tough one. Looking at the backround, it does not look like Waikiki. Perhaps, North Shore. At one time, there was even a military airfield in Kahuku, Kahuku Army Air Field.
Hi, Thank you very much for the ident of the board in the picture. So it might have been taken more towards Publics than the main beach or up on the N.shore Kahuku. Used to go to a great little restrant near the Suger mill years ago, when I was a reglar on the N.Shore.
Thank you,
