This vibrant, all-original early 1960s Malibu Surfboard is a rare gem from the golden age of California surf culture. Crafted by Malibu Plastics Company, a short-lived manufacturer only in operation from 1960 to 1962, this board represents a fleeting moment in surfing history. Its rarity is matched by its cultural significance—these boards were favorites of the Malibu Set, appearing in surf movies during the Gidget era, when surfing exploded into the mainstream imagination. Few examples have survived in such remarkable condition.

With bold orange coloring, a striking center stringer, and period-perfect construction, this 9’7” beauty displays well, showing light-to-moderate wear consistent with age. Whether showcased as a statement piece or treasured as part of a surf collection, this board embodies the spirit of early California surf culture—freedom, craftsmanship, and an enduring connection to the waves.
