About the Item

This unbelievably beautiful surfboard is arguably the best noserider ever created. If in doubt check out Joe Aaron riding one on YouTube. Yellow rails, black pin striping, five stringers in balsa, redwood and blue. Scooped out nose for nose riding, red fin and red and blue tailblock with a red decal. A truly majestic board in excellent condition. In 1966 David Nuuwiha won the Surfer Magazine readers poll, and was acknowledged as the best nose rider in the world. Bing Surfboards made his signature board which became the hottest selling board that year. He on the US Surfing Championships in 1968 and 1971 and was the poster child of the new look sponsored surfer; making enforcement deals upwards of $25,000 in 1967. Nuuhiwa was the first celebrity surfer, looking like a rock star, showing up in a Porsche or Rolls with girls galore and a traveling fan club. This board defines that era. Bing Surfboards was established in 1959 by Herbert "Bing" Copeland who played a major role in helping surfing and the surfboard industry to become what they are today. Widely recognized as one of the top 10 surfboard manufacturers of the 60s and beyond Bing employed many of the best shapers of the era, including Donald Takayama and Dick Brewer. At 13, he became fascinated while helping out at pioneer surfboard maker Dale Velzy's workshop in Manhattan Beach. He spent time in the Coast Guard stationed in Hawaii and surfed the big waves on the North Shore and at Makaha. In 1958 he sailed across the Pacific and introduced modern surfboards to New Zealand. By 1960, back in Southern California, Bing was making surfboards commercially and his company became one of the longest-running and most progressive in the surfing world. This board is truly one of the most majestic - to be valued by decorators and collectors alike.
