hi mate !

i couldn’t see any photo …

but ,

if you’re referring to the model “pinliner” here shaped in the 1970s , and 't.f.a.d." has photographed ,

maybe private message them eh ?

i think it was ‘sunset surfboards’ [?encinitas?] that pinliner worked for in the 1970s, where he developed it , from what i have read [i am an aussie]

 cheers
