Aloha Paul,

How do you do? Hope this message finds you well.

Just picked up a stirring rendition of George Greenough's "Baby" shaped by Tim Bowler (please see attached).

Yeah, the board is bananas, to say the least. It passes the under-the-arm test you previously spoke of with flying colors and I cannot sing Tim's praises enough. 

 7'8" x 17" N. x 22 5/8" x 16 5/8" T.

Greenough's original Baby Surfboard. 7'8'' long. Built c. 1962...ridden by Bob McTavish in 1968. The board originally had a glass on fin, but Bob installed a WAVE SET fin box and dropped a huge Stage 3 fin in it. Last seen with Alby Falzon in Carpinteria when they were filming Crystal Voyager in 1972.

Nat Young at Malibu, Summer of 1968. His board is a Keyo roundtail with a deep hull and narrow flex fin...both designed by George G.

Nat Young with a Pat Morgan board, most likely Fall of 1974. Dead flat bottom, edgy down rails, long base keel fin.
