Description

STRAIGHT FROM HAWAII.    This Hawaiian Rhino Chaser is all yellow throughout, redwood center stringer and redwood offset stringers with a beautiful red screw in fin.  Written on the stringer says “J. Maier. 74.  It does have a few ding repairs, which is expected from its use in the 70’s but is watertight.  Judging from its overall condition and the dust that had to be wiped off, this board was stored for decades.    The board was most likely shaped by Tony Channin or Mike Diffenderfer   “  Channin was also well known for his outstanding glass work as Greg Noll commissioned Channin to do the glass work on the first generation reproduction Da Cats.” Mark Fragale”.   This GUN was hand-picked from a private collection for this auction.  A similar board, same year in the “Ultimate Guide to Vintage Surfboards” on pg 289 is 8’10 with a value of $3,000 - $5,000.   So, we think our estimate is conservative and spot on.  Winner of this board will also receive a copy of the book, “The Ultimate Guide to Vintage Surfboards”. Happy Bidding and Good Luck!!!
