Description

HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AND MUSEUM QUALITY!!!!!    Hand shaped Larry Felker Pintail Gun. Larry was groomed by Dale Velzy and was not afraid to experiment.   This board has three redwood stringers with “Larry Felker” signature on the stringer along with serial number 33912.  The bottom of this board was way ahead of its times with four channels running from the nose down 2/3rds of the board.  Produced at the Hobie Shop where he was shaping with Hobie Alter. The goal behind this idea was to enhance nose riding as you were walking from mid length of the board to the nose to HANG TEN in style while still maintaining control with channels.  The pintail was made for those sharp turns needed in southern California.   It has a bolt through green fin  & "dogbone fin box in near mint condition.   This is such a rare board and privilege to have your collection.  Have you ever seen one?   Don’t miss out on owning the piece of history.

Year 1967.  

Condition 9 out of 10 - Original
