6'4" x 19.25 nose x 22.75 wide x 17.5 tail.
A modified Paul Gross (PG) template. Initial feeling is the board is gonna be a ripper. Only had it out 2x.

It has a rounded pintail and no info on the srtinger. Probably from the 1970s. The old guy holding the board is Dave "Pops" McDonald:<br />

I might finally take it for a spin, it's a weird 7'11" Mini-Longboard win a tucked under edge rail in the nose (a wingnose) and downrail tail.<br />
Maybe a bit like a mini Morey-Pope Penetrator:<br />

According to SK this was his most versatile board he owned, and one of the few that were not shaved to a 2" thickness.<br />
This one also has a traction material on the deck that makes it similar to the rough sanded decks found on the 70's boards ridden by the hard core hullers of the era:<br />

Initial paddle out this board has some real get up and go. The traction was amazing, I might end up doing a few more of my boards with the traction.McMalibuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04906427890228549456noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595476480652021132.post-44834191738750857972010-01-17T17:47:00.000-08:002010-01-17T17:51:53.124-08:00A Good IdeaA new surf maneuver:<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyVkYdZwHVc7nQBH6B2CFigOctHxs7ZXVlFkzz6C0U3zOFqi-IuvGJmjMTFOOjuf7IzuStplBuuWRoEIixM' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>McMalibuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04906427890228549456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595476480652021132.post-76697829557559362322009-12-29T14:45:00.000-08:002009-12-29T14:48:21.380-08:00Last Night:It was fun, about head high.<br />Had a few screamers before it went all dark.<br />Having no leash did me in.<br />From the Highway at 5:20 PM:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GZawgt_8IW0/SzqHESKL18I/AAAAAAAAACk/C294SojfB6o/s1600-h/DSC_0224.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GZawgt_8IW0/SzqHESKL18I/AAAAAAAAACk/C294SojfB6o/s320/DSC_0224.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420793609157597122" /></a>McMalibuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04906427890228549456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595476480652021132.post-64647084868978757622009-12-25T19:34:00.000-08:002009-12-25T19:35:29.784-08:00Happy Happy Everyone!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii222/McMalibu/Santa_Flex_Fin-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 236px; height: 320px;" src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii222/McMalibu/Santa_Flex_Fin-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>McMalibuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04906427890228549456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595476480652021132.post-37273518287898282722009-12-23T11:35:00.001-08:002009-12-23T11:38:27.234-08:00Help Fight this Surfing Menace:Call your local lifeguard headquarters and ask them to enforce the rules about "assisted watercraft" in your local lineup.<br />"Assisted" includes paddles as well as motorized.<br /><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bHQ9MTI2MTU5NzAyNTc5OCZwdD*xMjYxNTk3MDU5MzQ5JnA9Mzg2MzYxJmQ9Jm49YmxvZ2dlciZnPTEmbz1kMmU5OTk4Y2IyNTY*ZjQxODI4Y2JlZjg5YmFiNTZiNSZvZj*w.gif" /><a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii222/McMalibu/?action=view¤t=No_SUPs-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii222/McMalibu/No_SUPs-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>McMalibuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04906427890228549456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595476480652021132.post-9684626341113462692009-12-15T20:35:00.000-08:002009-12-15T20:39:05.261-08:00Another older toy:An Ikelite case.
