Hawaiian Kind

7'2'' and 7'4'' Hawaiian Kind's





These 2 are going to Mollusk SF , getting ready for fall .




This design is very refined as Greg rides this type of board in Hawaii , a hull that can handle some power!




A bit more nose rocker to handle the drops.




And the 2 plus 1 fin setup to put some rail over and not have any loseness.




n. 16'' w. 21'' t. 14'' th. 2''15/16's




These are good in all kind 's of surf .

2 PG's

 6'4'' PG/Velo's




Bottom one McMalibu's custom , top is almost the same but a little narrower nose .









Greenough on Velo. this spaceman made this board around 1965!




Warmjet on the Fat Bastard, Velo dims at 6'0'' this was a brave move it was one of the most radical boards I ever pulled out of a box from Greg.




Krajewski on a Liddle, very similar board around 1970 Malibu 3rd point.




At 6'4'' this outline really looks balanced to me , I like it.
