1972 David Nuuhiwa
Our trippy neighbor Dan has a thing for cool old boards from the 70’s. He brought down this David Nuuhiwa single fin the other day. |
Triple red paper stringer glue up. Classic dolphin stencil airbrush. |
Dolphin stencil detail. |
The nose is a little beat. |
The now iconic David Nuuhiwa eagle logo. |
It’s always good when vintage boards have original fins. Note the old janky way of attaching early leashes. |
It’s had it’s lumps of the past 40 years but it’s watertight. In fact, Dan rode it the other night. |
Amazingly this board survived having a leash cup installed. Nice outline too. |
This board was a Christmas gift! It reads, Merry Christmas David. Love Daddy, Fran & Mayarie 1972 |
Dan has put this board up for sale SOLD at Surfy Surfy Surf Shop. It has lots of patina, has a soft spot on the deck. A little TLC and it’s good to go. Here is a clip of David Nuuhiwa from the 1972 film Rainbow Bridge,
