DescriptionDuring the early 1960s, surfboards of this era typically measured between 9 to 11 feet in length, posing transportation challenges as airplanes of that time lacked cargo compartments spacious enough to accommodate them. In response to this, experiments were conducted, leading to the creation of the "suitcase" board.On View
