'Something Special'

Has anyone ever heard of a board mfgd under the label ‘Something Special’? My first surfboard was a ‘Something Special’ 6’8" single fin. I bought it used for $35 and fixed the dings with auto putty. Then it got stolen on the outer banks on NC (US). I’m wondering if it was a garage built board from the 1970’s or a commercially produced label.

I think “Something Special” boards were something to do with Surfers’ Supplies in Ocean City NJ, maybe shaped by George Gerlach?

Here’s their site, give them a call and ask for Greg, he’d be able to tell you for sure…

Something Special boards were sold thru Surfer Supplies but made by Bob Lacavara .I remember him doing them in the early 70’s until his shaping room got hit by lightning I was told.
