VINTAGE CUSTOM MIKE DIFFENDERFER CHAMBERED BALSA WOOD SURFBOARD 8'5"

Description

THE IS A CUSTOM CHAMBERED BALSA BOARD  GLUED, SHAPED AND GLASSED BY MIKE DIFFERDERFER FOR ME IN 1983 IN PUAKO HAWAII.
I WATCHED THE WHOLE PROJECT FROM START TO FINISH.
RODE IT ALL OVER HAWAII;WORKED BEST IN 20 FOOT MAKAHA
CONDITION: BOARD WAS IN GOOD CONDITION. I HAD IT FINE SANDED AND REGLOSSED BY BOB WHITE. FORMER OWNER OF WAVE RIDING VEHICLES
BOARD SHOWS ITS USE IN RAIL REPAIRS  WAS HUNG UP FOR 10 YEARS SO IT WAS DRY AS A BONE WHEN REGLOSSED SMALL WATER MARKS BUT  ABSOLUTELY NO  WATER ;GLOSS IS NEAR PERFECT;;  NEEDS A FINAL BUFF OUT. WHICH I FINALY FOUND SOMEBODY TO DO IT
COMES WITH A CUSTOM KOA FIN (NEW; NEVER USED); (I HAD MIKE PUT IN A FIN BOX SO I COULD TRAVEL WITH IT.)  TWO BOARD BAGS, PADDED SOFT ONE INSIDE A  FCS TRAVEL BAG.
LEARNED ALMOST EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT BALSA FROM MICHEAL. HE WAS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS WITH BALSA.. HIS BIG THING WAS NO BALSA BOARD SHOULD EVER HAVE A FLAT SPOT ANYWHERE. ("WHY I ASKED?" BECAUSE BALSA BOARDS SIT
IN THE WATER; FOAM SITS ON IT" WAS HIS REPLY. )
SO THIS BOARD IS NOTHING BUT A SERIES OF BEAUTIFUL CURVES.YOU CAN SEE HOW THE ROCKER AND RAIL CURVES ALMOST CHANGE THE SHAPE OF THE BOARD FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES
THIS IS NO FU-FU COFFEE TABLE SURFBOARD. THIS A  WAVE WARRIOR WITH THE SCARS TO PROVE IT. (I GOT A SEVERAL MYSELF) GOT MORE PICTURES IF NEEDED.
PLEASE SEE COLISTING ON CRAIGS
JUST GOT THE BOARD PACKED. PADDED BAG AND FIN WILL BE SHIPPED IN A USPS FLAT RATE BOX. USING BUBBLE WRAP INSTEAD OF THE BAG FOR BETTER PROTECTION.
FREE SHIPPING TO HAWAII AND THE WEST COAST , OTHER LOCATIONS WILL BE PRORATED.
PLEASE MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
PAYMENT DUE 3  DAYS AFTER AUCTION CLOSE
