About the Item

This early 1970s George Greenough Spoon Kneeboard mold, authenticated by Greenough himself is one of the rarest surf items on sale anywhere. For the surf collector or surf shacks decorator who wants a true piece of surf history to display in their collection. We offer this mold which Greenough himself used to make less then ten spoon kneeboards back in the early 1970s. This mold is made of fiberglass and wood. Parts of the exterior are painted brown and parts offer exposed wood and fiberglass. The beauty in this item is in it's form, it's rarity and in the imagination of every surf enthusiast who knows what they're looking at. George Greenough is arguably the most innovative and influential surfer and surfboard designer of his generation. Boards from this mold were ridden in his 1973 movie Chrystal Voyager and inspired a wave of surf craft innovation. An American born in Montecito, California Greenough now resides near Byron Bay NSW Australia. George is a living legend and George Greenough Spoons are rare. We have sold two in twenty years. Even rarer is a George Greenough Spoon Mold. We suspect this is the only one in existence. George is reclusive he lives in a teepee with snakes inhabiting the roof. He has the "I'll leave them alone if they leave me alone" attitude. Getting George to authenticate anything is like getting Moses to authenticate the 10 Commandments! But there you go - we managed the impossible. A letter of authentication, signed by George is included in this sale. Condition: This mold is 45 + years old. It is made of fiberglass. The inside of the mold is polished smoothly and coated to create a smooth clean spoon blank. The outside is strengthened with fiberglass that is attached to a wooden base so the mold has rigidity and can be used on the ground or put on a table, etc. for ease of use. Display: This mold can be displayed vertically, horizontally or put on the floor or table to be admired. It could easily be used as a coffee table. Let your imagination roam. Decorators: If you have questions on display options and or how to present this item to your client please contact us directly for further information.
