DescriptionMade by Dale Velzy himself, this board was somewhat of an experimental design featuring a sharp rail configuration. The board is made of alternating redwood and balsa stringers and has a wood, multi-laminated fin. Later, this design evolved into the maneuverable, wider-aft balsa “pig” shape. On View
