There will be a Classic and unusual surfboard get-together at Surfside beach, Texas(A-holes specifically) on Saturday Oct. 30th. This will be a chance for those of you who are into older style surfboards to get together and talk about the boards, share them if you’d like, and possibly sell them if you have a board for sale.
The kind of boards I hope to see there are: classic and modern single fins, older style longboards(logs), traditional Steve Lis style fish, quad fins, 80’s twin fins, early thrusters, bonzers, and pretty much any off the wall, or vintage surfboard that you don’t ordinarily see around here. It’ll be like a surfing time-warp!
I am bringing a 6’6” Rusty single fin with channels, a Mandala ( www.mandalacustomshapes.com ) 5’7” twin keel fish, and a 1968 Oceanside 6’5” egg to show and share.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please post them here! I look forward to seeing all of the older boards here on the Gulf coast.-Garrett Crowell
Tomas, are you on the upper or lower coast? If you’re on the upper coast, it would be awesome to have you there, and even if you’re on the lower coast if you can make it up.
I live on the island (Galveston) and have a friend in from Hawaii so we’ll try to make it over. Maybe I’ll bring one of my balsa boards and a 60s Duke Kahanamoku board. If the weather is perfect maybe we could come over in the woodie. By the way, I talked with James Fullbright today (owner of Surf Specialties) and he’s got the Quicksilver ship coming to the island this coming weekend, so you guys might want to come this way to check out the event.
Nice Nice…Thanx for the heads up on the Crossing Rich…do you know where EXACTLY??? Thanks alot!!! I don’t have ne classic or unusual boards to bring…but maybe I’ll come check it out and see what’s up with you guys!!!
