Tiffany Eubank Scotch and Cowabunga from 1965

I couldn’t find out a single thing about who this Tiffany Eubank is. There are too many current day Tiffany Eubanks littering social media for Google to be much help. I believe she must have been an English model or actress. She was featured in a series of ads for Ushers Green Stripe scotch doing things like skydiving and skateboarding. The advertisement on the left ran in 1965, the same year as this Nash Sidewalk Surfboard ad. Actually, It’s unclear what company produced this advert. It appeared in a surfing magazine, and Surfing Heritage lists Ventura International Plastics (in Ventura) as the manufacturer of the Duke Kahanamoku surfboard model, but the Nash name is not on the (at least) 2 different Duke Kahanamoku skateboards, and their address was in Texas even back then. Then there’s the mail away surfing stickers. That address is for a third entity called Program Sales with a Hollywood address. It’s a bit of a head scratcher, but the Cowabunga ad is a pretty cool one.

Tiffany Eubank won’t without her Green Stripe.

    C’mon, you really don’t know who Tiffany Eubanks is? Can’t you read? She was the first skater to flat out refuse to skate sober.

  3. I have the above mentioned skateboard. There is a Nash Duke Kahanamoko skateboard. I know it was sold in Hawaii as I got it from the original owner at a yard sale. It does not look like the Kahanamoku 60s boards with the head of the Duke that are not made by Nash. It is the size of a Nash Shark but of finer wood and a unique bevel. In the center is DuKe Kahanamoku in blue lettering. Hope this fills in part of Nash skateboard history and explains the ad above.
