John Wade Project Phil Edwards Model

[@SoulDaddy33]

It's really good to see that he just likes to keep the board well trimmed and stay in the curl when possible instead of habitually running to the nose to hang some toes. Very nice style on a fine stick.

Terrific video, and loved the entire Phil Edwards series - really captures the essence of surfing on a classic board!

When I was a grom in 1963, the Hobie Phil Edwards model was the #1 bomb. Later it was the G&S Hynson model.

I grew up in Oceanside (class of '62) Phil was in the late '50s.............I owned a Phil model(serial # 10)that was done at Hobies in Dana Point.........I got mine shortly after L.J.Richards got his.......Mine was 10'2" and floated me a little low in the water(I weighed 200 with a 33" inch waist at the time)........I believe the board cost me $100......Gas was .19 cents@Gallon...Cigs were .25 cents @pack....minimum wage was .65 cents an hour.......a burger and fries at Bettys' was .75 cents............you could buy 1/4 pound of Smoked Albacore on the pier for .25 cents.......and a half a gallon of screw cap "Thunderbird" was .59 cents.................Life caught up with me,like everyone else,and it was on to school, the service, and the all that goes with it...............................many is the time I wish I'd stayed at the beach.................what happened to the board?..........someone borrowed it,put a couple of dings in the nose,did a poor patch job and I made them buy it for the the original cost.........JRW

“Thunderbird, what’s the price? 30 twice”, I enjoyed your comment.

Watching him throw around a 65lb board is pure entertaining 😂

[@Bighag100]

[@TheVenerozo]

wish i could show pic of my 9'7 phil edwards signed hobie probably from 1965 gteat condition such fine lines even non-surfers admire it catches waves even if the wave has passed some say it's so heavy it would hurt too much if it hits you sure uses that momentum both paddling out and on any wave, such as a lowtide wedge i got the other day cruiser and so good looking in its fiberglass and three stringers

[@Sidetrackification]

What number is it? I have 425.

[@Galidi1969]
