This board was also part of the Ben King collection and has been kept in repaired but not restored condition, so it could still be ridden. This board’s a bit beat up but it’s the rare Rabbit Bartholomew model from the mid ‘70s, and would still make a good rider for the single fin competitions! It’s a fabulous hot dog shape and features a cool deck spray, and if you ask Rabbit nicely he might even sign it for you!

An excellent example of a mid ‘70s flyer pintail mini-gun by the legendary waterman Dick van Straalen. I know Dick didn’t make many boards featuring the bamboo logo which also makes this board very collectable, plus it’s still in quite good original condition.

A rare original Reno Abelliro model island gun from the mid ‘70s. Yes the bottom’s brown but the deck displays well, and it has a beautiful McCoy laminate by artist Shane Egan.

Good example of Australian craftsmanship. These hollow plywoods were based on the American Balsas that arrived here in 1956. The first Aussie balsa boards didn’t start appearing until 1958, so the hollows filled that gap for two years. No surf collection is complete without one of these. A fully restored circa 1958 balsa board from Sydney master craftsman Gordon Woods! This is an excellent example of an Australian classic! Estimate range $3000 to $4000 Estimate range $2000 to $2500 27 : 1960s SURFBOARD 9’8” Gordon and Smith. 28 : 1960s SURFBOARD 9’8” Scott Dillon. T-band stringer, tail block, timber D fin.

The board would be an easy restoration project, but could be surfed and/or hung on the wall just as is! This is a rare Bob Pike Point Surf model from the early ‘60s. Along with Dillon, Bob Pike was one of Australia’s legendary big wave chargers. Between them they designed this style of board for the bigger waves. Original watermarked and sunburnt condition.

This is a circa ‘66 Ken Adler step deck model. Looks like a good rider from the Sunshine Coast that has had an older resto job and legrope plug added. Hayden longboards from the mid to late ‘60s are very sought after and hold their value well. Yes a 10’5” shaped by Kevin Platt on the Sunshine Coast! This is one rare board from the 1966 era and has the look of a top rider that’s still in original surfable condition with dings repaired. Just wax it up and go!
