San Diego Short Board
76
Pintail Shortboard, shaped by Mike "Diff", 7 8 L X 22 W. The deck was redone in
the 70s, water damage, probably. Matching fin to go with
purple tint panels on the deck. Black repitigraph pin lines, nice
glass leash loop, bottoms original, lam on both sides, beak on
nose, no cracks, delams or anything else. 8 condition. All my
boards are solid with no problems and no question marks. Diff. -
The Legend was a San Diego boy. He went to high school at La
Jolla High, one of the few guys that surfed in school at that time.
Nice guy.
Wind N Sea Surf Club member for
years. Teamed up with Tony Channin a couple times in the sixties.
In 68 shaped a pintail Long board piloted by Butch Van Arsdalen,
with Channin/Diffenderfer label. Mike and Butch hung out. They
were surfing pipes on Oahu, North Shore with pintail long boards in
the early 60s. Also back and forth to Oahu building a lot of
guns, big & short under different labels besides his own. This is a
special board whoever ends up with it. Is a real carver and a
nice hanger. Great lines. Built by one of the finest shapers
this planet has ever produced.
