This refined hollow compartment board became an instant success on the beaches of Hawaii and the coast of California in the early 1930’s. Because of its ease in paddling and catching waves this board was used well into the late 1940’s for surfing and lifesaving. Credited with saving tens of thousands of lives, this model is still the most widely recognized design by the inventor of the hollow core surfboard, Tom Blake. Dimensions: 11 to 12 feet long x 24 inches wide x 3.5 inches thick. Approximate weight: 45 lbs. Distinguished by a soft round nose and the dramatic pointed tail rear, this design features the widest point substantially forward. 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
