A great board when the surf is small and perfect with slight off shores.

Phil Edwards - Picture from a story at the Honolulu Star Bulletin

If you grew up surfing in Southern California in the 60's Phil Edwards was the King.

Between the movies and the boards and the boats,

Mr Edwards was at ground zero of the Southern California surf lifestyle movement.

Not in a marketing and promotional way, he was just a class act who like to surf and sail.

When he was done he just sailed away in his catamaran "El Gato"

First out at Pipeline

I bought this board used up in Huntington years ago.

A beautiful board by a master craftsman.

Sadly it up for sale.
