Shaper: Michael Peterson
Design: Shooter single flyer swallow tail
Year: 1974
Dimensions: 6'10"
Not a lot to say here - the photos say it all. The available provenance (all of which is by word of mouth) identify this as one of Michael's personal boards but without more first hand evidence this is hard to prove. Great board for the Gold Coast point breaks, nice a sleek to fit in those crystal clear Kirra & Burleigh tubes.
It is unequivocally shaped by Michael and is signed on the stringer in pencil.
Purchased privately in 2005 and restored by 'Sash' from Narrabeen. Works included ding repairs, fixing up the tips of the flyers and swallow tail - all colour matched to a very high standard. Fin is unusual and has clearly been refoiled/tweeked on a few occasions. Nice pair of channels leading into the single flyer add to the refined and progressive shaping for the time. A volan deck patch finishes it off perfectly.
she's a peach !
