Tim Orr – Surfy Surfy

Duncan Campbell

Tim Orr in Hawaii emailed this shot of Duncan Campbell with Davey Miller’s trusty 7’7″ that Malcolm shaped in 1989. Tim is going to restoration so Duncan can ride it this winter.
Malcolm made me a 6’8″ version of this board in 1990, it was absolutely magic in Mainland Mexico beachbreak and scored few epic California days on it too.
Not sure photos of mine exist. It was left in the hands of a local ripper kid in the Mexico state of Colima in the late 90’s.
We should probably have Malcolm shape a few of these for stock for the shop for surfers seeking heavy water barrels…
*update: Duncan sez, This is the best 7’7″ I’ve ever had. I have been riding this thing every winter since 1989.

Tim Orr’s Refurb 70’s Sunset

From the inbox,

Aloha Thursday JP, Howzit!
Here’s a follow up on the Sunset board that I am finishing up on today. I did an acid splash resin job on the bottom to hide the dings. The topside will be painted on the inside of the cutlaps with black chalkboard paint …it is to be used as signage for a shop up at the 4 Seasons here in Kona. I just thought you guys might dig seeing it…I thought your Dad might like the Sunset splash job. The board was trashed…now it’s functional art.
Take care, peace & aloha from Big Island,

Full Circle ’76 Bonzer

Thanks to the stewardship of Tim Orr from the Big Island of Hawaii, Cliff Collinge’s 1976 Bonzer has returned to Duncan Campbell.

It’s another fine example of the rich history of the Campbell Brothers and their Bonzer surfboards.
