DescriptionThis is a typical solid redwood plank used at Waikiki in the early 1900s. While we know it is of Hawaiian origin, the shaper is unknown. 21” from the nose the word “Kimo” is carved into the deck, appearing as 4” black letters. The taper of the board begins at this lettering, and narrows down to an 11” tail.On View
