DescriptionThis “hot dog” board is one of the few all-balsa boards made in Hawaii, as balsa wood came from Ecuador and was difficult to access on the islands. It features 2 off-set ¼” redwood stringers and a mahogany fin. It has a Sheppard ink stamp logo from Honolulu, Hawaii, with “Bud Lewton” written near the logo.On View
