An old Surfboard
This is my old surfboard from high school. It was made about 1967 by a shaper in Santa Barbara named John Bradbury. He eventually became a well known shaper, but unfortunately he passed away nearly ten years ago. You can see this board had part of the tail break off before I got it, it was repaired with some fiberglass and resin. There are also a few small dings I (inexpertly) repaired with resin.

You can read an interview with John's son Josh on ESPN, the interview speaks highly of John's shaping skills.

Here's the logo he put on this board. His logos changed through the years as you can see at Stanley's Surfboard Logos (a huge site with a huge number of logos on that one page alone (the 'B' page)so expect it to take some time to get to the Bradbury section)

Here is the side view of this little beauty. The board measures 99 3/4 inches long (8 feet 3 3/4"), 19 inches wide, and three inches thick with a seven and a half inch skeg (tail fin).
