And ..... Dirty feet dirty mind

Nice nice AND niiiiice mate

Ran into a nice bloke down the beach this evening....he was driving a car of pure style but what caught my attention was his lovely 10'6 - can not recall the brand but he thinks that Skip Frye probably shapped it - circa 1966 - 1968. I had my crappy old phone with me so grabbed a few snaps for you lads to droll over. The board was in remarkable condition and I loved the fin....its the original - you can see that they had cut into the big fat stringer and then glassed it in. Has a nice bit of flex in the very end of it. He paddled out to some pretty average waves and got a few. Lots of style and he had no leg rope! Some nice drop knee turns were performed. Nice to see. Lets hope he joins the Greenroom shortly.

Top stuff ted.... Thanks for posting.

And good surfing... And cool car..

Yeah mate it is, this guy did a repair for me the other week, he makes brand spankers off the old boards I won't give away any secrets but no machine and they come out the same. If you are looking for that type of the boards, old school V bottom than this guy does some great work and has been for a while.. OBCT might see a few down his way, he sells a few down Sydney way.

I'll suss that link out later after work dude cheers much for that - Obs' Pearson he posted up did catch my attention last night I can tell you ... I do like those older classics & look how they endure time hey

I thought I knew my old English cars and I was going to say Vanguard.

But I do now recall seeing Humbers like that.

I've spoken to Pieter down at Bennetts one Saturday, he's a guest shaper and did the original copy of the Isaac Field model.

You'll see his name on a lot of BBs but the guy who runs Bennetts considers himself a bit of a comedian and he always spells the shapers name "Pie Eater" on the tags.

I remember an old saying about English cars

" English cars aren't any good until they've warmed up.

Then after that, they're just no good"
