That Fall/Winter of 1967, Bob McTavish, Nat Young, and George Greenough turned up in Hawaii...George with his red spoon kneeboard "Velo," and Nat and Bob with their relatively short, wide tailed V's. (9' and 8'6'' respectively.) Oh, and both boards were stringerless.
They got a lot of attention thanks to McTavish's radical, albeit problematic, performance at The Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Contest held at Sunset, and the Witzig brothers' photographic record of their stay.
