First surfski in the USA ??

2009-09-25T22:07:50+00:00

This is actually the 3rd ski brought to the US from..... Austraila. The first 2 came with Phil Coles and Gordon Jefferies for a Surf Llifesaving Team event with LA County. This is a spec ski for lifesaving, not a wave ski as many of your comments thought. No rudder, no footwells and barely an indent for your bottom..something like 45 lbs and 18' long. Merv saw them paddle these skis in Carpinteria racing around the oil rigs with the Dorys. The skis were so far ahead, Merv ordered one on the spot. The ski in the piture is located at the Maritime Museum in Santa Barbara, another one is displayed in the Bath House, East Beach, Santa Barbara. The location of the 3rd one is unknown.
