Description
This bisect board was the brainchild of Herman Bank, a Jet Propulsion "Rocket Boy" engineer who called his creation "The Multiboard," a term that was quickly usurped by popular reference to it as a "Suitcase Board." Surf brands of the day heralded this design as a major breakthrough and sent their boards to the Multiboard Company to be "Bisected." (Multiboard held the patent to the jig that cut the boards.) For a brief spell the future for Bisect boards looked rosie, unfortunately however for Multibrand the shortboard revolution was just around the corner. Boards went from 10 feet to 7 feet and then 5 feet in the matter of two years, making this a really short chapter in surfing history. Who knew? Definitely not Herman Bank. It's ultra-rare to find a vintage bisect in any form and rarest of all in the G & S (Gordon and Smith) model. Excellent condition given age and use.
Nose piece 65.5" long, tail piece 66 1/4" long.
118.5 inches H x 21.5 inches W x 10 inches D
