a custom shaped chambered balsa board glued, shaped and glassed by mike diffenderfer in Puako Hawaii for me in july-aug 1983. I watched the whole process from start to finish.thru the years I rode it all over hawaii;worked best in 20ft Makaha.
condition:board is in excellent condition.; i had it fine sanded and reglossed by Bob White, former owner of Wave Riding Vehicles.
Board shows its use in minor rail repairs ; was hung up for 10 years before reglossing so it is dry as a bone with small water marks
new gloss coat; very shiny; but for a mirror finish it may need final buff out. comes with brand new custom Koa fin. (had mike put in a fin box so i could travel with it) 2 bags padded cloth and FCS travel bag. learned everything i know about balsa from mike; he was an absolute genius with balsa. His big thing was no flat spots anywhere. i asked why; "because balsa sits in the water; foam sits on it" was his reply.so this board is all curves ,no flats.you can see how the rocker and rail curves almost change the shape of the board from different angles.
this is no fu-fu coffee table surfboard; this a a veteran wave warrior with the scars to prove it (i got a couple to match it myself.)
