Surfboards 1969-1979

The short board era loomed on the oceans of the earth as the astronauts made their way back and the decade of the 60’s came to a close.

With it came increase in paddling, but the freedom of control on the face of the waves fueled new dimensions in the shaping rooms around the world.
