Cherry/Martin/Simmons/Moonlight
John Cherry’s 1940’s Simmons replica is only 19 lbs pre-glassing. John put around 60 hours of work into this board and Terry Martin 6 hours. This board will be ridden, not a wallhanger.

These gentlemen are true treasures in our unique, local surf culture. We should have some sort of tribute to them.
Waves to ya,

I’ve got a 6′ paulownia/cedar egg that a buddy made for me using their technique and I love it. It only weighed 8 lbs pre-glassing.
