1978 Vintage Larry Bertlemann surfboard

About the Item

1978 Vintage Larry Bertlemann surfboard. Features Bertlemann’s signature color swirl design in red/white foam with black pinstriping. Signed by Larry Bertlemann. Bertlemann is a renowned surfing star and pioneer of surfing maneuvers hailing from Hawaii. Known as the “Rubberman” for his maneuverability while surfing. His abilities and innovative moves had never been seen before. His moves foreshadowed how radical surfing moves would eventually become. “He didn’t invent the shortboard; he just showed us how to ride it”. No single surfer had a greater influence on the way waves were surfed than the revered style master, Larry Bertlemann. A magnificent example of one of the earliest Larry Bertlemann signature surfboards.
