1966 CON

1966 Con Colburn shape.  9’ 9” X 22 ½” W.  Con Comp, “wing nose”  nose rider.  Designed by Con Colburn and George Bartell.  Con had a very strong surf team. Consisting of guys like Mike Ballard,  The Seaman Brother’s Gary & Roy, Steve Bigler, Claude Cogden, Bob Purvey, and Dale Dobson.  Just a few of the team riders of Con Colburn.  Con had several good shapers over the years.

This is the board that took off for Con, one hell of a nose rider, in fact a very excellent riding stik – both ends are perfect.  The fin is perfect – rails are 50/50 – foiled thinnish not fat.  Black glass Con Comp fin.  Sharp rail at nose.  Note:  triple Comp band on nose-see pictures w/ small Con Comp lam. on bottom of nose.   On both sides of board there are thin black resin arrows with arrow head pointing to nose.  Two of them, one on each side.  Beautiful Turquoise hi-density foam tail block.  You don’t find these boards in this condition.  You’ll find them with the long fins snapped off or really dinged up because they were good riders.

This Bad Boy is out of my collection, so you’re guaranteed a bitchen clean stik – don’t pass on this rare unmolested beauty.

$2,500.

 Thank you for going to my site – more beautiful vintage stiks will be on my site soon.
