Greetings, Shredderz! Today we’ve got a very cool single fin courtesy of @milomony, who has shared some rad boards with me over the years. Give him a follow on IG. You’re looking at a 1979 Hawaiian Island Creations single fin shaped by Mark Angell. The board is 6’7″ long and no other dimensions…

However, the more research I do, I can’t find any evidence of…
Continue readingHere’s an example of an old school Hawaiian Islands Creations board on Craigslist. Measurements are 5′10″ x 20″ (approximately). I think the $450 price is, uh, optimistic, especially considering the deck looks like crumpled up aluminum foil in places, but I dig the hideous 80s paint job, and the channels and quad fin…
