Graeme is a long time surfer who had had a Photographic business in Moruya on the South Coast of NSW in 1981 / 82. At that time Tommy & Michael Peterson were down at Pambula surfing & Michael was shaping boards for Wintersun.
Michael made this board and had been surfing it for some time.
Tommy was heading back to Queensland. Michael wanted to shape something new so asked Tommy to take this board with him & sell it on the way back up the Coast.
Tommy, with a mutual friend stopped in at Graeme's Shop and he ended up buying the board.
That was 36 years ago.
The Surfboard is a 6'3" single fin flyer swallowtail, one of the first I believe.
It's 21 1/2" wide, well surfed with a few dings & still in good condition with Michael's signature on the stringer.
The time has come to sell the board and Graeme is looking for a serious collector or someone who knew Michael & would like to buy a board that he had actually shaped and surfed.
He is inviting offers over $3000.
