TRASH CAN FIND

A buddy found this gem in a trash can in Korea town, they sent me a few pictures and were trying to figure what the weird letters were. As soon as I saw the board I thought of old Liddle rider Roger Doucette. I then called Greg and he confirmed it was Rogers because Roger used to airbrush his own boards, I remember some of Jeff Ho's boards with the same type of letters. I emailed Roger lastnite and he was shocked it was found.



7'3'' L. 18.75'' N. 23'' W.15'' T. The new owner just had a very similar board copyed by Liddle a few weeks ago, so what are the chances of driving by and glancing a surfboard of any kind in a Koreatown trash can, and then pulling it out and it's a brand you know and then a shape you just ordered a few weeks before by the same shaper, then find out the original owner on my first guess, too weird.
.



Gonna patch this baby up and get it back in the water. I think it's from the 80's



Roger said he will call me tonite with more info.




Very much like one of Greg's own boards shape wise.

CASA CASAGRANDE

Went camping with my old friend Alan this last weekend, his garage art studio is a classic. Check those Liddles out scored at different times they are 25 boards apart on the serial # , both boards made around 1969



Nice early logo and textured deck, Yater influence.



Al's garage door has to be seen , a collage of old photo's and stickers. That's Mr. Bojorquez at a gig in San Pedro on his old Mosrite and old Roy.




Ya gotta love Hoppy, nice window of epic weather and that sneaker south made for a fun weekend.

LOST AND FOUND CLIPS

Clips from my Amigo Alan Casagrande around 1982 or so on my Liddle 7'1'' Stringerless , that I still have.



Same board on my birthday in 82.



Same board , my Quiver was way smaller back then, maybe 4 or 5 boards , pretty much surfed this board and had a few smaller hulls and a semi gun and one big gun for the big stuff. For sure a few less gray hairs and a few less pounds.

PUNKER V-BOTTOM

Punker Pat layin down some rail on the Frankinstien Liddle.



Similar board Greg did for Carlos in Spain, a bit of rolled V in front of the box under your back foot, also a bit more hull forward.




S- deck 3 1/4 thick plus the wider tail , lets this board work good in beachbreaks and smaller surf very well, but also can carve in the goodstuff.




Miller and I have had one of these in our quivers for the last 15 years, props to Greenough,Cundith, Gross, Liddle.
