Quill Spear


AUSTRALIAN
Manufacturer: Quill
Shaper: Unknown
Design: Ultra Extreme Spear Tail
Year: 1973?
Dimensions: TBA











I've mentioned previously that I have a huge amount of time for backyard extreme shapes and this is as full on as they come.  An ultra extreme spear tail which can only have been surfable on the front 60% of the board.  Not a lot of turning going on here, just straight down the line and hold on I guess!

Excellent original condition when purchased from a travelling surfer on Sydney's Northern Beaches in around 2008.  Has had a polish and a few minor marks tidied up. 'Surfresearch' has no info on Quill other than a possible link to 2003 - does anyone know anything about them/him or has seen another example?
