DescriptionMade in Waianae, Hawaii. Built to ride Makaha, this board has what was then considered the latest thing in speed; the "bump" fin, which would allow some control on the big waves but created very little drag. Made from used WWII life rafts. Purchased June, 2002 from Dave Banquil. Traded Bing Karma.
