Duke Kahanamoku All Original 1965 Surfboard, Near Mint

About the Item

This 9'3" Duke Kahanamoku Maui model surfboard is in amazing condition and features bright vivid orange color, a giant 1.5" redwood stringer and a beautiful glassed-in laminated fin. This board has had extremely light use and given its' 50 years lifespan is almost mint. Manufactured between 1965 and 1968 it is a rare find in this all original condition. Duke Paoa Kahinu Mokoe Hulikohola Kahanamoku (shown in photograph surrounded by Duke Boards and surfers) was an Olympic champion swimmer, sheriff of Honolulu, ambassador-at-large for Hawaii and most importantly acknowledged as the father of modern day surfing. In short he was the epitome of Hawaiian manhood: athletic waterman, the respectful gentleman and a heart full of Aloha. His name was given to him at birth, in the time of "The Kingdom of Hawaii," and it is not too much of a stretch to say he grew into his name so that in his elder years he became literally "Duke" of Hawaii. During the 1960s the Duke Invitational Surfing Championship was filmed and shown worldwide on ABC. It was an invitation only affair and the biggest honor a surfer could have was to participate. Duke had his own surf team in the mid-1960s with Butch Van Artsdalen, Paul Strauch, Joey Cabell and Fred Hemmings having the honor to represent the Duke in his twilight years. The Duke had his own brand of clothing and shoes, his own restaurant, his own surf competition, his own skateboards and of course his own surfboard line. Measures: Length 111" (9'3"), width 21.5, board thickness 2.5", fin 9". (photo not included)

Steve McQueen 'The Blob' Original Vintage Japanese B2 Movie Poster, 1965

Located in Devon, GB

A young Steve McQueen is pitched as the main event on this incredibly rare B2 poster for the first Japanese release of the cult drive-in era classic ‘The Blob’ in 1965, cashing in on the king of cool’s box office draw at the height of his popularity. A relative unknown only seven years prior, McQueen had not been pictured on anything but the theatrical lobby cards at the time of the original US release in 1958 and was credited as ‘Steven McQueen.’ Perfectly epitomising the schlock sci-fi B movie, ‘The Blob’ starred a 28-year old McQueen in his first leading role as a rebel teen who discovers the gelatinous alien invader wreaking havoc throughout his small Pennsylvania community and tries to warn the sceptical townspeople before it is too late. Distributed by Paramount as the B movie to ‘I Married a Monster...
