This board is a true classic keel twin fin hand shaped by Nu’uhiwa in 1978. A lot of volume throughout the entire board makes it meaty but also very fast. This board had an artsy signature Nu’uhiwa bird logo airbrushed onto the triple stringer blank. It was most likely shaped out of a longboard blank. It has a slight vee bottom with no concave and is very flat throughout. The fin has an old school leash hole as well as a leash plug on the deck, which was added later.

This is a late 1970’s keel twin fin fish. It has a incredible fin set up, with green glass on fins that have a wooden inlay within. Another interesting vintage feature of this board is the bottom leash plug, which was an experimental idea in this era. Faded airbrush and pin-line design on the deck, this board is truly a vintage piece. It is wide in the tail as well as wide in the nose with the sweet spot lying just above the front foot.

This classic DYNO diamond tail was hand shaped in the late 1970’s. The intricate Nu’uhiwa logo is uniquely airbrushed from nose to tail in dark paint contrasting the blood red/orange pin-lined rails, nose and tail. A slight vee bottom accompanies the slight nose rocker for an overall thick, flat shape.

This is a vintage 1978 diamond tail single fin. The bottom has a green tint, which wraps the rails to the top stopping at a black pin-line that trails all around the outline. It is a simple board for the time, nothing to fancy or experimental. Bought from the Leo Nordine Collection.
