Summercloud Bat Twinnie


AUSTRALIAN
Manufacturer: Summercloud
Shaper: Unknown?
Design: Twin Fin Stinger Bat Tail
Year: 1977-78
Dimensions: 6'1"










The first twinnie I purchased after moving to Australia in 2002. It has had restoration work carried out (prior to my purchase) on the underside but the deck remains original. Typical combination in twin fins terms when matched with the stinger shape.  Major points of interest are the 'true' bat tail and the Batman logo both of which make the board unique.  Board was bought as one of three from a large second hand emporium in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast. The original green makes the board glow and the condition is good, a classic experimental twist on a common theme of the late 1970's.
