Waikiki Custom - Anyone know about this label?

I was at a friend’s recently and he showed me this board - very old looking. I was wondering if anybody has any knowledge about this brand, and if this particular board was a one off, or maybe a cutdown of a broken board.

Thanks!

Pics in next post.

That is a 1960s paipo/bellyboard. Certainly not a longer board that was cut down. While I have no knowledge of the brand to impart, I would guess that it was built by one of the popout companies of the era. This is based on the crude shape.

Other participants here have a greater knowledge of old paipos. They might be able to shed more light.

 

Do you know anything about the chain of ownership? Where it was acquired?

    Aloha Sammy, Where's PPK when we need him, I might have to call him and have him check the thread. Aloha,Kokua

Thanks for the responses guys!   8^D

 

Unfortunately I have no other knowledge of this board other than it was in his garage. I’ll try to find out more next time I talk to him.
