In order of funnyness!

Number 1 - a McTavish R&D Bobsled/Bobsed;

www.ebay.com.au/itm/Surfboard-Bob-McTavish-Bobsled-Hand-Made-Original-prototype-signed-/330828803654?pt=AU_Sport_Surfing&hash=item4d06eeee46&_uhb=1#ht_500wt_1206

From the eBay seller;

This is the first prototype of a mini mal/thruster hand crafted by Surfboard carving legend Bob McTavish. Its signed by him as well, when he wrote "Bobsled" on it- he was having a 'hazy' day.. and mistakenly wrote [b]"Bobsed" instead.[/b]

I spoke with him the next day after buying it by accident on the main beach- An older guy stood next to me and said "Nice board" - I thought yeah whatever.. sure this guys about to rob me..i replied "yeah I just got it." I said "do you surf?".. He said "well actually that's my board- i made it.." I was totally blown away. We talked about it and he explained the shaping of it.






Number 2 - a Brewer Triple Stringer;

This is a ripper of a board from none other than Dick Brewer. Dick and his side kick Louis Real must be getting desperate!! Nearly $4k (AUD or USD)... It's a new board, and they are trying to pass it off as a bona-fide 1965 handshape!!

This would have been handshaped by Dick this year... It's still a ripper of a board!!
It seems to have modern hard/down rails at the tail... Pretty sure this style of rail wasn't happening in 1965.

But, who really cares... still a ripper of a board... If I had enough money, I would get Dick to shape me about 6 beautiful guns!!

(and I would f-ck that Hobie label off too! )

Here's a funny ebay story from a lady friend of mine :

Said lady friend has just had her first baby and her mum is visiting from overseas to help out with the baby. Nan slips out the front for a ciggie, my lady friends sits waiting patiently for the maternal health nurse when nan yells from the fron," She's here", a lady duly appears in the lounge room where my friend proceeds to go into a long winded explanation about how much trouble she is having feeding and how sore her nipples are. She gets out said nipples and says, " Do you know anything that will help these". Maternal Nurse responds with, " Maybe some kero but I'm not to sure, I'm just here to pick up the doors you sold on ebay".
