This is just a head’s up concerning a lecture on kneeboarding that will be held at the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame Museum in Cocoa Beach FL on Nov. 10 at 7 PM. I have posted more info on the Events and Happenings forum.
Just a ’ knee-thing’ or two from my back yard. Solid balsa.
Theres a ‘slab’ on the left and a ‘spoon’ on the right. Made in the 70’s by Peter Crawford ( the surf photog), Malcolm McCloud and Rick Wright, (Father of Ozzie Wright.)
All these guys have shuffled off since…
Artwork ’ 3 ’ on the slab came from Peter before he would sell it to me, dont know why, it was his way to do things differently.Redwood trim at the rear.
He was a neighbour and was a hell of an entertainer ( nightly) with his slides and massive volumes of transparencies and pics from the 70/80/90’s.
And accompanying long-winded tales to go with the pics.
Dont know if the boards are worth a walnut or should stay in the shed, they are more of a personal reminder of the guys I knew who made them.
‘Tuna fin’ fin at the top came with the spoon.
Anyone with a kneeboard museum interested in having them?
I have a kneelo museum, except nobody much sees them but me and my kneeboarding mates, heh…
see my avatar for part of the collection.
Interesting bit of history you have there.
pm me if you’d like to sell or swap?
cheers,
Andy
