World Champion Derek Ho Personal Surfboard by Rusty Preisendorfer

About the Item

Rusty Preisendorfer shaped surfboard made for the late Derek Ho (1964-2020), the first ever native Hawaiian world champion of surfing. Derek Ho was the 1993 ASP world champion and 4x Triple Crown of Surfing champion. He was also the brother to champion surfer Michael Ho and the uncle of professional surfers, Mason Ho and Coco Ho. Rusty Preisendorfer began shaping surfboards by the age of sixteen. His natural ability led to him shaping surfboards for major labels such Gordon and Smith and Canyon. The boards he shaped became the preferred choice of numerous champions earning him editorials in Surfer and Surfing magazine. By the 1980s, Rusty model surfboards shaped under the Canyon label were ridden by over half of the Top 16 professional surfers including Mark Occhilupo, one of Australia's best surfers.

  • Boxing Carpet, Randolph Turpin, Middleweight Champion of the World, Sugar Ray
    Located in Oxfordshire, GB
    A large vintage Randolph Turpin carpet. A wonderful impressive carpet made for the British boxer Randolph Turpin (nick named 'The Leamington Licker'). The carpet measuring nearly 3 meters by 4 meters was made by a life long friend, Mr Dennis Quayle, and would make a remarkable wall hanging. Quayle owned a high quality furniture store in Birmingham and supplied amongst other furnishings, high quality handmade carpets. Following Turpin’s triumph over Sugar Ray Robinson to win the world title in 1951, Mr Quayle had the carpet made as a gift for Turpin. Later in Turpin’s life when in trouble, Quayle bought back the carpet in order to help him financially, with the carpet remaining in the Quayle family ever since. Randolph Turpin is one of Britain’s greatest sportsmen who plied his trade with courage, honor and skill and gave Britain one of its best nights in a boxing ring. As a 33-1 underdog Turpin humbled the greatest fighter the world had seen, Sugar Ray Robinson, at Earls Court in London to become Middleweight Champion of the World. Sugar Ray was at his peak and the fight was the culmination of the flamboyant champion’s famous tour of Europe. Unable to cope with Turpin’s long reach and unusual wide stance the American struggled to land punches and Turpin’s strength inside was too much and he took the win on points after 15 rounds. He would lose the belt in a rematch 64 days later but Turpin’s achievement is a remarkable one which crowns a distinguished boxing career, he was later inducted into the International Boxing Hall Of Fame in 2001. Randolph Turpin's titles:- British Middleweight 17th Oct 1950 European Middleweight 27th Feb 1951 World Middleweight 10th July 1951 Commonwealth Middleweight 2nd Oct 1952 Won the British Light...
