70′s Michael Hynson Grace Model

Description:This Michael Hynson Grace Model was not made in great quantity, ridden mostly by La Jolla and Windansea locals. It fills a niche between Michael’s popular Red Fin surfboards and HY-1 boards. I watched him shape it for me, but don’t remember the exact year in the 70′s. It was shaped at John Barbou’s Cleanline shop a block up from Windansea Beach in La Jolla, and I believe glassed by Diamond Glassing.

It is in overall good shape, to ride or hang in a collection. Buyer would have to come pick it up in San Diego or have me drop off board at a San Diego shop, or collector intermediary who will do shipping. Standard fin box with a nice laminated wood inlay fin
that looks great with the board.
Selling price is $850 including a 10″ x 10″ Carved Wood
plaque made by Michael later in his career.

Dimensions:7’10”x20.5”x 2.5”

Location:La Jolla, CA

Wave Crest Hawaii was surfing legends George Downing’s shop, which he established in 1974. Wave Crest Hawaii later became Downing Hawaii in 1989.

Board Description:Rare early Ike and Tuck foam longboard with V-Slot fin hand-shaped by surfboard innovator and legend John “Ike” Eichert . This was most likely John’s personal board and one of the first foam boards he shaped (#8).

“In early 1961, Ike got a job as a glasser and finisher for Yater Surfboards, working out of Jack Hiren’s glass shop in Ventura. Then in August of 1961 – at the age of 20 – Ike opened his first surf shop at 24 Cota Street in Santa Barbara.Out of that first shop came the innovations in surfboard design for which Ike has become known, including the V-slot” (removable) fin, the “V-Tail”, an early 3-fin surfboard, and George Greenough’s first knee boards. Ike and Greenough were grade school friends, and it was Ike who provided important input on most of George’s fin and knee board designs”. – Lastwave.com

Shaper/Label:Surfline Hawaii

Dimensions:6’11”

Description: This was Freddy Schwartz pipe board Circa: 74-75. Fred Schwartz owned Surfline Hawaii on the North Shore and shapers such as Ben Aipa, Randy Rarick, Tom Parrish ,BK, Sparky Scheufele and Dick Brewer shaping there at one time.Freddy was also a fixture at Malibu in the late 60′s, and early 70′s. His family owns Schwartz Glass on Colorado Bl. in Santa Monica, located right next door to the old Natural Progression Surfboards factory. He, along with Dave Rochlen also started Surf Jams Hawaii. Pre-leash board, so it has some reef rash, and a couple of old repairs. It displays well, and appears to be watertight. Has a early Natural Progression fin, not positive it is the original fin. But of the same period. I did some research on the shaper, M.P. But there were so many guys shaping out of the Surfline factory during this time period that is impossible to know based on the initials only.’

Location:Hermosa Beach, California (LOCAL PICK UP ONLY)

Condition: Good. Board has a ding on the nose and on the rail near the nose. Fin may not be original.
