Found: Classy Old Vic

[TRiiPPiN]

So I work at a beach during the summer, and one of the bartenders used to skim this, but just kinda left it for a couple of seasons so i saved it from the dumpster. shaped by the man himself...

Innovators take note: wing-squash?


Idk it rides like my foamie, only heavier and more gigantic. but i was pretty stoked to find it here in New York. not much on the skimboarding history around here.

Cool find! Tex used to skim in NY back in the 80's. Will show him and see if he may know anything about that board.

Not only does it have wings, it has 2 sets of wings, and to me it looks like it was a round pin at one time.

Looks like it was the same shape as the far right board. Double wing pin from 86/87.

I'd say that's a better find than a woody, wood is more durable.

mr. 1ups over here... luls

[mjetty]

dude thats sickk, check out this one from my closet. Got her at a garage sale awhile ago.

[TRiiPPiN]

^ I cant see this one...
but it's cool to see all these old shapes like that old zap with the same tail as the dagger. i wonder why we haven't seen a similar return of the wing-pin... or is it just one of those shapes with no functional benefit...?

[drewC.]

damn and I thought my old Kooz shape I have from 5/30/91 was old. the thing is a boat

[Aaron Peluso]

Kooz was the man.
