FIRST TIME ON THE AUCTION BLOCK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!

 

Shortly after we found out Peter Townend was going to be the Master of Ceremonies at the New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame Induction, the phone call came in, “I own PT’s personal board”.  WHOA!   Within four days we had the board flown here to NJ and the pictures and video say it all.  P.T. was surprised to say the least.  He told us stories about why he liked the “Bonzer” design and the demographics behind it.   This high performance “Tubeshooter” design is simply Iconic and shaped by the highest level of quality by Rusty Preisendorfer. 

The board is dark pink throughout.  The deck has the psychedelic yellow “R” with P.T.’s Tubeshooters logo.  P.T made mention his unique grip pads on the sides of the deck and original foot pads.   PT had the crowd going while he signed the nose of the board and wrote “Never Stop Surfing World Champ “76”.  The bottom of the board has a matching Rusty logo as the deck and signed by the stringer  “R Preisendorfer” for P.T. ”The Slippa”.

It’s not every day you can get a World Champion’s personal surfboard with photos and video of him signing it.  Well, here’s your chance and its up at NO RESERVE!!!!
