Description:
Made during the transition era, as pintails were giving way to the mini – guns, this hand shaped mini gun by Skip Frye was his interpretation of the genre. This beautiful royal blue tint bottom and lap with black pin lines and clear white deck is stylish and smooth with the G & S and Frye wings logos. Coming off the pintail era, this early “Mini – Gun”, was considered the height of speed performance as the transition era kicked in and boards began to shorten. Featuring a W.A.V.E Set fin box with a well-used G&S High Performance removable fin, which took looseness, to a whole other level. This board has had a full glass off restoration-by-Restoration Specialist Randy Rarick and the board is up at NO RESERVE!! Good luck!
