I stumbled across this interview and ad with Malcolm Campbell and Campbell Brothers Bonzers (and Max McDonald too!) in a 1989 issue of Breakout magazine, which is the year I started riding 5 fin Bonzers (age 19).
Hey JP, This is a great example of why I check surfy surfy every day. Any chance you could please post the entire interview? I’ve been curious about the history and design of the elevated wing. Respect.
Ha! Nice what I wouldn’t do to go back pre-digital. Remember knowing like 20 phone numbers off the top of your head? These boards were the essence of high-tech… Remember: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDFt_opVKjM

May 30, 2013JP, who were the first to start using double concave? Was it the Campbell Brothers?
JP from Surfy Surfy
May 30, 2013Yes. And those early concaves were deep!

May 30, 2013I added a shot of Max talking about the e-wing.
It’s just a quick snippet.

(it’s not spam, although now that I said that you’re really skeptical)

May 30, 2013That one is straight out of 1990. And for $190 bucks it would be worth picking up to charge this winter with.
