Great surf meet again on sunday, lots of new stuff to see .Thanks to everyone who took part ,the boards all looked amazing, and special thanks to those who took the effort to write a bit about the boards so joe public knew what they were looking at. Any grass verges were quickly snapped up so only the latecomers had to set up on tarmac, but there were no dings that I know of. Was good to look round the museum at last, thanks to Pete and the museum for hosting us and we'll hopefully back again same time next year.
Aussie Damion - boardcollector.com - was over from California and looking for something British to take home. This McCoy was too much like coals to Newcastle .
The 60s beach boys - Alan Kift (north Devon surf pack leader in the 60s ), Tony Cope (Westcoast surfboards and blog contributor), Bing Copeland (Bing surfboards USA) ,Alan Brooks (Chapter surfboards 70s) and Bob Powers (Powers surfboards 60s) all holding a Powers longboard.

ReplyDeletethe mystery rolls on.
Can we have a close up of the man with the pink beard please
ReplyDeleteyes Roger popped over between heavy drinking sessions, sold some stuff, got some beer money then went off again !
ReplyDeleteDoes a close up of the man with the beard exist ? His friendly featues are etched in our memories so no need for a photo.
