Three new surfboards are on display in our hallway at the Surfing Heritage Foundation. The boards, known as the Three Amigos, were donated by Founding and Sustaining Partners, Nick & Terri Bacica. They were recently delivered by Wingnut on one of his southward journeys. The new boards are replicas of surf legends; "Lorrin 'Whitey' Harrison's, Doc Ball's and Leroy Grannis' boards that they used to ride. Greg Noll (himself a pioneer as well) recreated these incredible surfboards. "Lorrin 'Whitey' Harrison's surfboard was the most advanced," says Greg. "Fairly narrow in the stern with a vee-bottom tail for riding more critical waves." Leroy Grannis' board was made of solid merch redwood (from the outer bark ring). Doc Ball's board was carved from a solid slab of redwood with a copper Hawaiian shield mounted on the deck. (Excerpted from Greg Noll, the Art of the Surfboard ) Come by and enjoy these great new additions.See More
