Today was an awesome day...great weather, great people, awesome boards, great food and drink! Thanks to everyone that came out and had a great time.  All of my family and friends that helped out, the OLC guys, local chargers and collectors.

Parrish Lightning Bolt - my newest piece added

I just picked up a beautiful 6'8", early 70s Lightning Bolt rocket...from the original owner. Rey was stationed in Hawaii in the 70s and had Tom Parrish shape him a quiver of boards...all were chocolate brown with a mustard deck and a chocolate bolt.  Each one for different conditions..this one was for 6 to 8 foot Log Cabins.  You could feel the energy when you picked up the board...glassed on single fin with a tight swallow tail, a true gem!  Rey told me that he would go over to Tom's, where he would make them under the house...must have been an awesome time!  Thanks Rey, I am really blessed to have the board and will give it a ride as the surf picks up...I really appreciate it.

1964 South Bay Surf Shop - By Deese - Tunnel fin classic

This vintage longboard showed up at the shop last week and is a really cool example of some of the innovative things shapers were doing in the early 1960s. It's a 9'8" South Bay Surf Shop, custom by Deese...complete with his signature Tunnel Fin.  From the research I've done, it seems that South Bay Glasser and Shaper Rich Deese came up with the idea of the Tunnel Fin.  Deese was part of the South Bay's 1st St. Gang with guys like Dewey Weber and Bibby Gibson.  He learned to shape with Velzy and glassed for a while at the Weber shop.

For SALE at the shop - $1,250
