Great Pintail outline shape.  Bitchen brewer glassed in fin with leash hole drilled thru.  Era mid to late 1970’s.  Please note, with this Local Motion Set, I wanted you all to see the evolution of shape design from mid 1970’s to early 90’s.  Thus, I have a great cross section of Boards here that shows you this.  All original Some pressure dents on deck and minor small dings.

Randy Rarrick purchase, Hawaii 2007.  This early 70’s keel fish did not make the final cut, but I was fortunate to acquire it. I have not seen to many of these, thus I jumped on it.  This board has been restored to its original condition. I do not have to much additional history on it.   Again, I am stoked on the  cross section of  LM Boards I have in my set.  Please give me your thoughts on your Local Motions in your collection.  Share us your story.
