Description:   100% ALL ORIGINAL!   ONE OF THE STARS OF THE SHOW! EXTREMELY RARE! PART OF THE “SUMMER OF 66” NOSERIDING SERIES.

Here is a National Treasure Nose riding machine, by surfer, shaper and innovator, the creator of Noseriding, Mr. Tom Morey.  Typical Morey Pope, distinct, red high density foam nose and tail block.  According to Mark Fragale, Surf Historian, this board was shaped just prior to the Snub evolving into the John Peck Penetrator.   This board originally had slip check on its entire deck that was starting to peel away.  We had the slip check professionally removed and this is what we found.  Absolute perfection!  The logo is in perfect shape, showing clear reveal foam inside the logo.  The high-density red foam nose and tail block with its offset redwood stringers makes this board clearly identifiable as a Morey Pope Snub Nose rider.  The serial number 2623 J is clearly identifiable on the tail block.  The bottom is all clear foam with some minor blemishes and fixed black fin.   This board originally came from the Pat McGee collection in Port Aransas Texas in the 1990’s and Is now available.  A similar board in Randy Rarick’s recently release design project “Summer of 66” has all the similar characteristics.  At 10’3 the winner of this board will definitely be the Master of the Universe.  Good luck!
