"Big Wave Pintail"
|
|
This impressive, beautifully sculptured shape was inspired by Tom Blake's original design for the hollow board called a "Water Sled," in the August 16th, 1932 patent. This perfectly tapered, hand shaped copy is nothing less than the perfect marriage of form, function and art. Dimensions: 11 to 12 feet long x 19.5 inches wide x 3.5 inches thick. Approximate weight: 45 lbs. Extreme pointed tail and nose with wide point centered. Deck area is flat with tapered lift shaped into the bottom of both nose and tail giving the board a very sensational foiled appearance. Surface Treatment: Boards are first sealed with a dark tinted commercial oil base primer on top of which the color is applied. Our color palette is hand tinted to impart a variable in color value to each hollow-core. After drying boards are very carefully water sanded to simulate years of wear, highlighting the brass deck screws, wood sub-surface, creating an antique surface of depth and interest. Finally to protect and seal several coats of clear varnish is applied to both top and bottom of every vintage reproduction. Colors: Clear Redwood, Muted Red, Antique Green, Island Blue, Opaque Mahogany and 1930'2 "Hawaiian Surfboard", clear deck/colored combination shown in the upper right photo on the "Champion" Paddleboard page. Custom colors and graphics available. Price: $1195.00.00
