Michael Peterson 6`6 personal replica

In March 2024 I was very fortunate to working project alongside of WSL. They wanted special gift to the owner of Rip curl, celebration of 50 years of Rip Curl pro. They wanted replicate Michael Petersons winning surfboard since from 1973 and he was the very first man to took the trophy. I spent several months to research and thanks very much to Peter Towend who was in the contest with MP and shaping surfboards side by side in Kirra back in the day. Those all interesting story he gave to me was so legendary!(Also MP replica was approved by PT haha yes! ) But only information I could find about the MP’s winning board was that board was 6’9 and that was soft diamond tail. I also could find MP’s personal 6’6 (thanks to my dear old mate Carl Tanner) borrow it to me and first thing first made a template for plan shape and fin. I shaped a few 6’6 replicas until I satisfied myself and developed to 6’9 diamond tail from original 6’6. Those shaped blank was sitting in my shop for over year and I finally had time to reinforced to one of 6’6 MP replica and here is result. It is up for grab so whoever interested DM me or get onto my web page we upload it ASAP. Happy days everyone.

Dimensions: 6`6 x 19 1/2 x 2 5/8
