Surfing a very old surfboard by Gordon and Smith! Kolton Sullivan SHRALP STORIES episode 21

[@biff022]

G&S still make great boards to this day. Classic.

[@JimSuperwhite43]

Center fin box is likely a Star Systems box, developed by Paul Borderi, who ran the G & S factory for ages. Paul was a design innovator and made of of the first twin fins ever. He was a lovely human being to work for, brilliant and hilarious---quite the counterpoint to solemn, ultra serious Larry Gordon, who co-founded G & S with Floyd Smith.

Interesting.... I have a Canyon board that was shaped by Rusty before he became "R." It has the star system box in it. Pretty rad stuff!

[@used_surf]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you🙏

[@familyjay5636]

So smooth on the G&S!!! Was also surprised at how much flow and modern turning style was possible on what looks like a chunker! Kudos for ripping it, and stoked on the history you give. Yewww!

[@used_surf]

Thank you. Yeah tripping on how good it worked. Thanks again for watching.

[@kyledexheimer6548]

G&S also had the contract to make MR twin fins back in the day. the star system does have a slot you can put a plate into and screw but their main plastic fins had a tab that would bend and then lock the fins in place.

[@used_surf]

No way I didn't know that....that makes sense. Wow even back in the day they had the Mr Twin...pretty sick. That's a good little bit of history/knowledge..thanks for sharing!

[@Limeybanton]

Loving your old boards and shaping vids brother. Really enjoyable. Big up.

[@used_surf]

Much appreciated.🤙🙏

[@stevehix1656]

Totally cool surfing that G&S, I use to ride Robert August back in the day, when he had his shop downtown HB. Keep um coming,it's like surf shredding with some surf history. thrown in.

[@used_surf]

[@joegreen9827]

the box was when the third fin was a problem sanding around they figured it out later.sandpaper under fin to make it tight

[@used_surf]

Oh yeah like a shim kinda

[@catinthehat8412]

c.1983 Timmy p looks sick to 🤙

[@used_surf]

Yeah. Works so good! Thank you🤙🙏

[@11BlackLamb]

Lose that third fin and tape the box, it'll be really squirrely at first but once you get it dialed it'll be like a skateboard, third fin too much drag only for big big days.

[@used_surf]

Interesting. Yeah might have to give that a go! Thanks for the tip💯

[@ugocdf7706]

Given the history and the production of th G/S i would not describe that as a "" very old " surfboard

[@used_surf]

In the grand scheme of things I see your point. But for me, it's almost twice my age...that seems pretty old

[@foonatt]

Yo! Clean that shit off the wall by the outlet! Ya never know..

[@used_surf]

I hear that...good looking out!!!

[@frankzappa576]

What the F....sanding fiberglass with no shirt.....ITCHHHHHHHHHY

[@MrRobinski]

no musk was more the worrying

[@used_surf]

Not to bad when your doing small spots for ding repair. But yeah sanding a whole board with no shirt would not be a good idea 🤙🤘
