DescriptionShaun Tomson won the World Title in 1977 and this is the board that he used at Sunset Beach to win the Cuervo Classic in 1978 while he was defending his title. That is interesting about this board is that Shaun began to move away from Lightning Bolt and was establishing his own surfboard brand. However he still relied on "Shaper to the Stars" Tom Parrish for his equipment and it paid off. This particular model was his Sunset favorite at 7'10" with his distinctive blue tint bottom, clear deck with light and dark blue Bolts, Parrish logo and blue/foam glassed on finOn View
