New/Old
Moonlight had a customer in the 1980’s who ordered a rad 7’6″ egg under the Rip Curl label. He surfed it to death and recently showed up and ordered a copy.
The original Rip Curl logos are long gone but some old school Moonlight logos were located in an old dusty folder.
This is the nice thing about the same crew of guys working at the same factory since 1979, you can get get new/old stuff.

November 2, 2011Right on. We all have our magic boards. My quiver keeps growing, but I’m still surfing the same board 85% of the time. It’s rad to see someone say “Yup, this works just fine. Please sir may I have another.”
32 years from now (2043) he’ll be ready for #3!
