Tanner Gudauskas Buys A One of A Kind Michael Peterson Surfboard From Craigslist | FINDERS, KEEPERS

[@finding_mojo]

As an aussie who grew up in that era, it's great to see his board being appreciated and ridden. Good on you.

[@zoeymelf8924]

Sometimes a video just sings with sincerity. This is one of them. It's a simple story, but it just really hit home with me. Great great great! Beautiful board. Great surfing!

[@tomjoy2992]

Really rad Tanner. Without magazines, we all need cool content like this to absorb.

[@tannergud]

Thanks Tom! Yeah its such a bummer not having those profiles in the magazines nowadays!! It was always a cool way to learn about how rad things from the past are and what you can take into the future. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video, that means a lot! hopefully the start of more fun things!

[@Santiago_MX]

I watch A LOT of surf content on your tube and this is some of the best out right now! History, personalities, a great host, rad surfing, and really high production value. Can’t wait for the next episode!!

[@DylanGravesYT]

Damn YES !!! Great job … killer concept and journey !

[@tannergud]

Thanks Dylan!!! and Thank you for all the guidance and help too see it come to life! so excited that its live!!!

[@jeffjeff4477]

That board looked super smooth and perfect when you were carving and accelerating , so smooth Right on ! Very cool

[@hannotn]

Really enjoyed that. I lived on the Gold Coast during MP's declining years as a surfer, but would see him out occasionally and he still evoked enormous respect from the crowd in the water. Loved the surfing too, never seen an old style single fin being surfed so successfully in a modern style. Shows that you can still get some movement out of a single, even if they're not as manoeuvrable.

[@pep537]

"I'm scared to even touch it!" Immediately slaps Vans stickers on it lol

[@sionnach013]

Great vid Tanner of you showing your respect to M.P . Rad ride !

[@sammyspeiser8249]

this was awesome! So many hidden gems on craigslist. The possibilities are endless. Keep up the great work!

[@tannergud]

You know the deal!!! yeah its addicting TBH haha! Thanks for tuning in sam

[@bennyboy0814]

Amazing to see the love for surfing. Thank You Tanner for sharing and keep up the great work. MP Rules🙌

[@tomwhitaker2074]

Great vid! MP was my next door neighbor and surf buddy at Vland for the winter of ‘73. He shaped out of my shaping room and man, his boards were “different”. The board in the vid is the most normal board I’ve seen of his. I just hope he really did shape but I think is was just his design with his sticker on it but it may have been shaped my another MP Mark Pridmore.

[@Sim0san]

So cool to watch a shape like this be surfed with some modern stylish flare. Drawing different lines to what they probably did on this board back in the day. Keep doing what your doing here Tanner

[@djizzah]

Great vibe tanner and a unique board, Michael Peterson is an absolute Aussie surf legend

[@soundsgalactic]

Pretty epic! Definitely enjoyed watching this. Looking forward to more episodes in the future. It definitely was super cool to see the connectivity between the different surfing generations in that one board.

[@tannergud]

Collin I appreciate the comment! Thanks for checking it out,,, fun to ride the older shapes and try and incorporate those styles and approaches!!! It’s still taken me a little while with the single fins! Haha

[@59Marcel]

This is good, thanks. Great editing and production. Can not wait to see the next board.

[@ianfoulke22]

Great story Tboi! More of this!

[@billywatts7000]

So sick Tanner! Keep 'em coming!

[@christejcek8623]

Awesome vid mate.....I used to own one really similar to that, but I gave it to a good mate many years back and his house burnt down with it inside.😭 As someone who is a collector of classic boards, the only thing that made me cringe was when you put the vans sticker on it. I know you're probably obligated too, but the way UV discolours the glass and leaves the mark of an old sticker even when its removed, just ruins the integrity of the original piece of gold you found. With all that said awesome story and I loved watching. I have an almost mint condition Simon Anderson Energy single fin you're welcome to ride and make a vid on if your ever in Australia 🤙🏼

[@simonmoore7504]

Good point, Chris. I was thinking the same. See you out at Shelly : )

[@mocean365]

Amazing show and overall concept , loving it!!

[@simonmoore7504]

Very interesting video, Tanner. I reckon MP would be happy you've got that board and you're ripping on it : ) Had the privilege of surfing with him at Kirra a few times in the 70s. He was a unique surfer and a great shaper, for sure.

[@benjamintatton6382]

Kia ora Tanner. Absolutely right on point bro!!! This is what surfing means to me. The whole package. Thanks for creating this, to you and all your team. Shaka!

[@TheSurfboardGuide]

This is rad Tanner - please make sure you keep up this content for surf geeks!

[@betterL8thennever]

Such a sick one... I love surf history. there's so much to be shared and this is rad Tanner. Looking forward to many more. Yeww 🤙🏽

[@DanOMallsVideo]

Dude this was so good!!!! Keep 'em coming. Thank you!

[@roberth7640]

Wow that was surprisingly enjoyable! I never knew someone could rip on a single fin! Good stuff tanner!

[@nickhaisch4277]

Awesome! Keep these coming.

Well done! This was a great episode. Keep them coming!!

best surf content out there. tanner you are the man!

[@tannergud]

Luke! I appreciate the stoke out,,, thanks for tuning in honestly! it was so fun seeing this come to life... I feel like i've bought so many boards off Craigslist its nice to have something to show for it! hahah

[@davemcconnell2992]

That was awesome! Thanks!

[@tannergud]

Heck yeah Dave, Thank you for watching!! so excited to see the feedback!

[@calebrichter2565]

would love to see you give this board another shot in some barrels this fall. maybe t-street or dmj's combo swell.

[@samle9207]

Great episode!

[@JustinLangs]

This rules! Probably tied with Weird Waves for my favorite surf show. Hope you do an ep with dylan soon!

[@tannergud]

Literally would be my dream. Dylan is the goat of radness

[@davidgough3512]

I never understood the problem w single fins.. just go "Heavy on that rear foot" .. move it back over the fin to turn, forward to pump and glide.. but you gotta have immaculate body english and know how to knife (and unknife) a rail. Tanner passes the single fin style test for sure.

[@Windds]

I feel like the cheaper boards are either someone know nothing about surfing or they want someone else to have as much fun on it as the original owner at least that’s what i would do.

[@daveeyre1788]

That was awesome man

[@chrisdoyle3739]

So sick! Loved the vid🤙

[@Californiansurfer]

Yes, its the story. I been collecting surfboards since 1990. I have seen so many shapes and today,I shape ,but learning and stories from people who made it. “Pricesless”. I work at Aluminum company full time. Shaping is a hobbie, I still collect boards, always learning Downey California 😂😂😂

[@meatalecider8597]

Great doc. What was the subliminal flash about at 5:57? A link to the limelight thing?

Epic story

[@bjacobson]

Who was playing the raw epic music jam? Drummer was killing it.

[@tannergud]

Sick thats so rad you noticed! Drummer is my brother Dane! I played all the music in this episode, and that last song is pat, dane and myself when we used to live together. I had been holding on to it for a while haha stoked it saw the light!

[@bjacobson]

Hah that’s amazing. It felt super close to home!!! Gave some old dragon brothers vibe. I live in Ojai where your brother I believe lives now too. Maybe someday we can all go for another psychedelic surf jam together!

[@briceneubauer7836]

Love this!

[@matthewpress5359]

Pretty sure this board was shaped by Simon Jones, now of "Morning of The Earth" surfboards under MP's eye. Check his boards under Torren Martyn & Steph Gilmores feet

[@tannergud]

Yeah Matt! I was speaking with a friend from oz, and he was saying possibly Simon or maybe greg Webb was shaping them at that time!

[@matthewpress5359]

@@tannergud Simon talks about the experience of workin with MP on the "Ain't That Swell" Podcast (Dec 12th, 2022) at the 1hour6min35sec mark. Tanner's board is the "Kirra Special" based on what MP would ride at good Kirra in the late 70s.

[@clarkemcclymont2879]

I’ve got the original personal one of MPs, yellow bottom/rails and clear deck

[@mathewhewett8717]

Hi, everyone I'm definitely going deaf. What type of board does he say it is at the end, Attic, addict or something else. thanks for your again Matt.

[@omegasurf]

Haha I had trouble hearing that too. I thought he said somatic. After several rewinds I made out magic

[@seankearney5469]

From reading about MP they say he had a high pitched whistle for people trying to drop in on him now you have to learn that hahahaha 😆

Epic!

[@tobinbh3940]

this is one of the last few mp designed boards. as mentioned it wasn't shaped by him..the value would be twice that is shaped by mp.10x if ridden by him...beautiful board..definitly should be ridden !!

[@tobinbh3940]

you definitely put it to work!

[@jarrydaureus9016]

So epic.

[@caseyhansen4567]

M.p. was it.i watched morning of the earth many times over.i have some Rick single fins and a herbie fletcher single fin got a little delamed looks like you had fun on that legendary board

[@tannergud]

Oh wow! sounds like you got some gems for sure! I've been wanting to get a rad Herbie for a while now!

[@caseyhansen4567]

Ya it's a 8ft pin tail yellow like your m.p..2 delams across the bottom approximately 1 1/2 in by 1ft.so I quit using it .if your interested I would love it to go to a good home.

[@GIF_CANCEL]

Ride a Geoff McCoy single fin Nugget made recently. It's the best board in the world.

[@BarbarraBay]

nice surfing

[@redirok193]

Had to put stickers on it, lamoo

[@bonsummers2657]

When did Michael Peterson shape that board? Did he still shape during his post-surfing / fat life?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Winker.]

That thing is worth way more in OZ!

[@alsauter]

whats the soundtrack?

[@tannergud]

I played the music in this episode! used a MIDI korg, acoustic guitar and the end section is a live jam with Patrick, Dane and I (my brothers)

[@AFrames763]

MP forever

[@PeterlinCarrillo]

It’s like it was set free

[@willcollins1239]

Reason 4 this board is valuable is you sprayed me with it 😂

[@surfstomuch5750]

If this board was a original actually hand shaped by MP himself back in the 70's you would be looking at 10k .

Just another con artist jumping on MP,s name so he approved them not original and want big dollars so what .
