About the Item
1930s Replica Tom Blake hollow wooden surfboard. Wooden panels joined by metallic fasteners with daffodil yellow outline. Patented by the late Tom Blake (1902-1994) in 1931. The interior ribbed design was modeled after the airplane wing, allowing for a significant reduction in weight without sacrificing strength. The design ushered in newfound interest in the sport of surfing due to the drastic weight reduction of the surfboard from 100 lbs to less than 50 lbs. Tom Blake has a number of inventions attributed to his name including the waterproof camera. A great example of a historical surfboard design that played a pivotal roll in the evolution of the sport.
