Vintage 8'3" Wayne Lynch Involvment Surfboard

Wednesday, February 13, 2013
At Surfy Surfy on loan right now we have Patrick Leahy's original Wayne Lynch Involvment surfboard circa '67. 

Wayne Lynch carving it up during the Shortboard Revolution 

Early Wayne Lynch Involvment ad. 


The bottom is battle scarred. The board has been restored with a fresh hot coat and gloss, whomever did it wisely left the patina. 

Resin pinline. This nose template is still widely used today. 



Not sure if the resin leash loop is original or added later. 


These rock scars would explain why leashes became instantly popular. 

Fin systems have always been part of surfboard evolution. 






Great logo. Anyone know the original artist? 

This board was on display at the premiere of Jack McCoy's new ambitious surf film A Deeper Shade of Blue at the Hawaiian Hilton Village in Waikiki on Feb 6th. 

*special thanks to Patrick Leahy of West Wetsuits for sending me to Hawaii for the premiere screening. It was an honor and an incredible trip.

*update: here is the fin which is still in Australia
