Nineteen eighty three.


My favorite surfers and some of my favorite shapes & shapers from 1983.
Willy + Al Merrick.
Rabbit + Al Bryne.
Larry + Pat Rawson.
Wes + Rusty Preisendorfer.
Kong + Al Bryne.
Shaun + Rusty Preisendorfer.
Chappy + Murray Bourton.


As luck would have it I found 3 boards from this era in the one place at a vintage surf swap recently. 
A US made Hot Stuff 'Kong' model shaped by Tom Eberly of Lightning Bolt and a 2 x Local Motions by Pat Rawson I believe.
