Step back into the dawn of California surf culture with this remarkable Early 1930s handmade redwood surfboard. Crafted in an era when surfing was still in its infancy on the U.S. mainland, this board embodies the resourcefulness and creativity of the sport’s pioneers.

Constructed from solid redwood, its unique paneled design, squared tail, and hand-shaped contours reflect the craftsmanship of an early backyard shaper. Measuring approximately 10 feet in length, it’s a rare surviving example from the pre-fiberglass age, when boards were heavy, sturdy, and built to last.

The board’s rich patina, weathered surface, and time-worn details tell its story—countless sunlit days, saltwater sessions, and decades of California coastal history. It bears a rustic, authentic charm, including a single ding on the bottom that adds to its historic character.

Whether displayed in a beach house, hung in a gallery, or showcased as part of a vintage surfboard collection, this piece captures the raw beauty and pioneering spirit of the early surfing era.
