Featured Skateboards: Wipe-out Surfer, Hot Dog
1966 Sears Spring Summer Catalog, Page 752. Watermark says 754 but that’s an image indexing issue source and not the actual page number. Apparently Sears thought archery was more popular than skateboarding in 1966.

Deluxe 26-inch “Wipe-out” Surfer
Sears made at least 2 skateboards with the “Wipe-Out” moniker. One was a plain solid deck, and this one is the deluxe fiberglass edge model. This first photo is courtesy of Vintage Skateboards Collection.
Here’s a couple more from various past auctions. It looks like they produced a blue version as well.
