Sunset
Not alone in his efforts, Ed wright had his father, Bud Wright, a commercial illustrator, create the first Sunset Surfboards logo that soon graced the decks of many surfboards, t-shirts, and other merchandise. Ed Wright also had plenty of help to run this factory and shop. Over the years, such noted shapers included Sid Madden, Bill Shrosbee, Ned McMahon, Mike Willis, Rusty, and Tim Bessell, and along with a crew of Dave Devorak, Mike Shoneman, Bill and Richard Bernard (now own Surf Ride), Cheer Critchlow, and Brian Frederickson (took over the Sunset shop and name in 1989). In 1980, Peter “Pinstripe” St. Pierre, Gary Stuber, Kenny Mann, and Mark Donneland who were a stable force at Sunset went off to create Moonlight Glassing which is still going strong today as San Diego’s top glassers.

Man! Nice ride. Big fan of vintage Sunset fish boards. I have a go to Sunset McMahon rocket fish that is a blast in chest high. Like to take this one for a spin but then again too nice of a board for fishing
