Nash Surf Bird

The Nash Surf Bird was produced in at least 3 different colors, and two different shapes.

Deluxe Skateboard

Most likely a Hobie Super Surfer. This Hobie Super Surfer belonging to skateboarding legend Patti McGee, courtesy (I hope) of the Smithsonian.

This one was hard to rack down. Almost no amount of shuffling the words “vintage padded skateboard” turned up any results, except for this one from Western Skate Company, which you can buy for a cool $7,779! This version is apparently known as “Go Granny Gold.”

Once you have the real name of the board, it’s easier to find examples, including the entire set that may or may not have sold for $13,000!!!.

This scan came from christmas.musetechnical.com and unfortunately, the site infrastructure does not allow direct links to the source page. 

This scan is bad. 

We’re definitely looking for a better version, but these old catalogs are hard to come by. Maybe you have a better version? You should contact us.
