No.

His board was more "egg-shaped" in the nose. And the fullness was carried through the end of the board more...the above images show the tail tapering too quickly.

His board seemed more suited to bigger Santa Cruz waves than bigger beach break waves (where you might want a more pointy nose).

I'll see if I can get an actual photo of it. this weekend.

Meanwhile, here he is on another wave with same board:

Many moons ago, Friend #1 bought a board from West Cliff Surfboards. (Are they still around? Anyone know the people behind the label?)
Chuck was the owner and Michael Junod was the main shaper
Mentioned this to Friend #1. His response is "Chuck Vinson".

Thanks rowjimmytour, that is a bit more like it in the nose. Too modern in the tail still.


Edit:

Found another of him on the White Knife (his nic-name for the board, mainly due the single fin). Low-light dawn patrol. This is a scan of the image without any embellishment on the face...just turned out with the clownface artifact that way:

And found a shot that shows the nose better:
