The Balsa Diff Tom Stone is riding in his cover shot was the highest level of "Hull" shapes just before downrails took over

Every Hull builder should look at those Channin Diffenderfer shapes from back then

That board ended up as a trade at Brewer's shop on Kauai

That's what I figured as well Teeroi but Hnk indicated that 75' was about the time they added plugs. The 72" model that was in Bird's did not. Not sure if what he said is true though.
That makes it even cooler. OG leash plug.
“Leashes are for dogs!” Purpus. Hahaha

Had a really fun session on her this morning in a mushy waist to chest high beachbreak. I still need to move the fin back a hair. I found a boardbag on clist for cheap so she's in the racks ready to go whenever. Prettty stocked on this boar! Instead of reshaping the tail, Roper clamped it and re-glassed as to not disrupt the color as much as possible.
