Town and Country



Town and Country

In 1971, Craig Sugihara founded Town and Country Surf Shop. The Beginnings of this venture were humble – an old barbershop in Pearl City, Hawaii served as the original storefront. Fueled by an unrestrained passion for surfing and initial start-up capital of $3,000.00 Town & Country has evolved into a multi-faceted surf company and has solidified its position as a worldwide industry icon.

I picked this Glenn Minami T&C asset up from Bobby Digital OC. What can I say, a lot goin on here. Classic 80’s Twinnie Pearl City, Hawaii Town Style.  All original, a couple of heal dents, minor tip open dings, but coooolll! Single concave, single wing swallow tail.  Love that color combo airbrush.

Rare find, an early 1980’s Dane Kealoha T&C Model. I have only seen a couple of these, but this is the only Twin that I have come across.  This beauty is something Dane would of surfed back in the day. Simple yet sleek two tone air brush panels. Similar to what Bertlemann designed resembling a sports car fast track look. bitchen wood, fiberglass fins. Functional swallow tail template.  Some Sun tanning on botton, deck clean, all original. Cash Jack Purchase. (o) 7.5/10
