My Kneeboards from the 70's

Here are my two favourite kneeboards from the 1970s. One is a Quane I bought new from Surf Dive 'n' Ski surf shop (long gone!) in March 1974. The other is built by Keith Paull and I bought it second-hand from Harmony Designs surf shop in Kirra in March 1975.

I still ride both boards - the Quane board the most because its well suited to the local waves.

A New Paipo for Winter

Just given another new paulownia paipo it's second coating of linseed oil. A few more oilings and she'll be good to rip. Beautiful grain and light golden honey colour.
