This is the infamous old/new board that my Dad airbrushed to look like an old waterlogged beater in order to fool this guy’s wife who forbid him from getting new surfboards. He still has this board, but the wife is long gone.
Interesting linguist not. In Spanish the word esposas means wives and handcuffs. The only differentiation between the two meanings is purely contextual.
Wife was anti new board when I was riding a 9-0 triple stringer Phil Edwards. Not wanting to beat it up, I had Robert August shape me a pretty 8-0 triple stringer…she didn’t know the difference until I told her months later…
