For Sale-The Jr. Mint Bonzer5


The original “Jr. Mint” Bonzer5 landed in our shop the other day.

This board was built before the whole “retro” trend started. At the time I thought this board was really odd, but now it looks normal.

Despite the large BONZER logo people will still stop and ask you if this board is a Bonzer.

This is the ugliest ding on the board. Maybe put an Hilary ’08 sticker over it or something.

The side fins have had some repair but are watertight. Comes with a 6″ center fin.

Which one is Malcolm and which one is Duncan?

Beak nose.

Mini arc-tail.

The dims are hard to read but I think it’s 6’10” x 21-ish” wide x 3″ thick. It’s a wave catcher fer shure.


This board was part of the famous super quiver featured in an issue of The Surfer’s Journal.

$325

    6’10” X 21 1/4″ X 3″
    Ding on bottom:
    Mentawais ’98 (dirt in patch job, feral patch)
    One fin repair:
    Morocco ’00
    Another fin job:
    East Cape ’01
    Tail patch:
    East Cape ’02 (dirt in patch, road work)
    This IS the one that started it all for retro Malcolms.
    Lots of memories. I could not not let go of this board until I was certain Malcolm could make it over and over again. The Bumble Bee came from this board. Tim

    Tim. Is this still for sale? Is it a surf only board? It can be put on display at a semi-surfboard museum/showcase where I live that gets TONS of looks. The board has paid its dues in wave count so retiring it to showcase is ok imo. plus, CBros will get a nice plug with a caption history of the surfboard and all.

    Anon, I’m not selling the board. I sold the board awhile back. Talk to JP at Moonlight.
