“Very cool 1963 surfboard with awesome foot prints from the rider”…Portland OR CLL ad
obviously a popout…but serial number 1033…there were that may fools around to buy one? Anyone got the backstory? It’s just…hideous…lol
I’d like to have it for the strangeness factor
Sportflite was sold by Sears
double post
aahh…a catalog surfboard…makes sense, probably sold to at the time remote areas without surf shops…to folks who didn’t know what a good surfboard looked like
Believe, if my memory is any good, that those boards were marketed as “Wake Boards” for wake surfing behind boats.
Definately for the landlocked…
Bet Sammy has an ad somewhere.
Definitely a wake surfing board. When the 60s surf craze was in full bloom many popout operations tried to hype wake surfboards as a way to tap the inland market. One was actually called the “Inland Surfer”, as I recall. Sportflite was a very short lived outfit out of LA. I’d be willing to bet their serial number sequence began with #1000.
nothing slips by the Sways krew…
