It was a loving recreation with airbrush and all,
Big double bump pintail,
Spencer opted to have the intricate airbrush on the bottom of the new board where it wouldn't get covered in dirty wax,
The original airbrush painted by unknown,
The new replica airbrush by Peter St Pierre (lots and lots of tape was involved),
The original board and the mysterious JA airbrushed center logo,
Close up of the new airbrush,
The original wished for love and got it,
Glass-on Turbo fins, how about that?
Original shaper unknown, so if you know who made this board please leave a comment.
These kind of projects are one of the best things about surfboard building.
*Spencer and his Dad are the new proprietors of Mozy Cafe in Leucadia so stop in for a smoothie and organic burrito next time you are cruising the coast highway.
Wao .... one of the best looking board i've seen so far . Great job !

Spelling error corrected.
ReplyDeleteDo you know the story of how the original board was acquired in the first place? Garage Sale?
ReplyDeleteFrom the Surfer mag message board:
ReplyDeleteThe original board was painted and shaped by Jeff Alexander. The guy who does those double nosed Gemini boards. He probably did that board when he was Channins airbrusher in the late 70's -early 80's http://www.alexandersurfboards.com/gemini_jeff.html
Those fins are gorgeous. Who made those?
ReplyDeleteInsane boards!
I want one! Who do I contact?
ReplyDeletekiller! like an idiot, i sold a fish last year that i bought in 1984. wish i had that board back. i dont know who shaped it but the label said Star surfboards. i bought it at mitches, he doesnt remember. any one out there recall Star surfboards?
