Loves those blondes
These baltic birch with clear glue fins are all time. Larry gephart foiled all of these fins. Two sets are un-signed. One tri set from 28 years ago and one keel set from 10 years ago.

Early saturday morning score
Took a ride deep into san diego early this morning. My thoughts were bordering on if i was just wasting my time. To my surprise, this craigslist board was pristine. This is a 9'1" skip frye magic model that is almost twenty years old. Had a lil blemish above the logo, a few micro lil heel dents on the deck, but it blew my mind. Still shiny, a lil antiqued from being in a board bag a good percentage of it's life. Double bass wood t-band stringer with black glue lines. Unsigned, beautifully foiled, blonde larry gephart tri fins! One red skip logo, one diamond glassing logo. An absolute stunner at a price of what most retro boards go for these days.
The thing i love most about this board is it has skip's old bottom contours (no concave) combined with his knifey rails and low rocker. What a beauty! Enjoy

Always nice when your shaper sends photos of fresh blanks! These are a 3 of the 5 boards Dave Parmenter is shaping me. All blanks have tapered bass wedge stringers and are green weight strength. A 10'7" makaha machine, a 9'1" V-6 channel widow maker and a 7'7" MP Disc. Gonna be just in time for this el niño extravaganza! Yeeeeew!
