Hollow Wave

[efont45]

I have a Hollow Wave surfboard. It's a 6'5" pin and has a single glassed in fin. I think it's one of the earlier models. Right now it's a wall hanger. The board is missing the valve at the nose and the Hollow Wave emblem. Does anyone know where I can get replacements?

Since the hollow wave epoxy aluminium honeycomb board production was stopped in 1974 you, have a one of a few that might not be in landfill.
Google around something might turn up, post a picture would love a view

A Hollow Wave and a Flecky, have you dug up a surf museum or something

I'd post some pics but I don't know how to on my phone. I just picked up a 6'8" winger square tail Owl. Apparently the shaper was from Santa Barbara and had recently passed on. Believe it or not the people who had these boards were throwing them away. I happened to be at the right place at the right time

There was Owl surf boards http://www2.lastwave.com/legends/owl-surfboards and there is White Owls surfboards. keep doing your rounds of the throwouts you'll have collection in no time.
Try this link they are aware of some of the obscure relics!

Thanks for the info. I cleaned the Owl and it has a bunch of small holes near the logo. The fleshin' idiot was shooting at it with a bb gun. I'll check into an Owl vs a White Owl. This is going to take a lot of work. What do you know about Homegrown board by Mike McMahan?

Have you ever thought of putting XXXXXX brand + surfboards into a searh engine and see what pops up , most of what you are asking about comes from Central California.
I can find out stuff from here in Australia but the roots are still alive there too

I did a Google search on the flecky, the wave and the Homegrown and I do gets some info but not a lot. I thought I would pick your brain for any other info like the swaylock website or anything else. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
