Catri longboard identification help

Postby Steamboatfl » Mon Aug 24, 2020 11:25 am

Hi all. I recently picked up a Catri board being sold as a SUP and i'm looking for more information on it. It looks super vintage. I haven't seen a shape like it. It has a removable fin which may have been added later, but no leash plug. Any help with identification would be greatly appreciated.

below is a link to the photos. I can take more if needed.

More information. Apparently Catri spent some time with Dick Brewer at his factory in Hawaii in the early 60’s before heading to Florida. Maybe this is one of his early shapes? I think it makes sense as a Hawaiian board, it’s definitely not for charging Sebastian.

Sweet find! I agree.. I think it looks more like a board designed for Hawaii in the 60-70's.. back when Guns looked a lot more like hybrid longboard designs. I wish that board could talk.. I bet it has a really interesting history

It looks like some of Catri's personal boards went to the Florida Surf Museum. Maybe they can help narrow the search.
