DescriptionBob Cooper became very interested in Hot Curl boards, but it was during a time when there were not many around, especially in California. This Hot Curl board has a 1.5” redwood stringer; 2 offset .25” redwood stringers; and redwood rails and tail block. The rest of the board is balsa. It has two logos: a blue/red, oval “Surf Boards by Velzy and Jacobs” logo; and a beige/brown, diamond "Gomes Fiberglassing 2416 Pacific Avenue Venice, California" logo.On View
