Description

HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT !!!!!     You are looking at Hap Jacobs and Dale Velzy’s first foam board made in 1958 with serial number S S engraved on the stringer.  This board was fully restored by Danny Brawner and was sold during his first auction in the 90’s.  The story and picture in Surfer Magazine Vol 38 #5 pg 66,  copies are seen here as well as you get the magazine with your purchase.  Also, a letter is provided and dated  describing  the history of the board with a picture of Dale holding the board in the auction.  Dale Velzy states in the letter, “This was my first attempt at making a foam board, the board (number SS) has been beautifully restored by Danny Brawner”.   This board is striking with its red panels, rails and bottom with black comp and vertical stripes..  The wooden glass on fin was Dale’s signature fin at the time.  Don’t let this one get away
