He learned to surf when he was 12 and moved to Hawai'i soon after graduating from high school in 1956 so he could surf full time.He quickly gained... a reputation as a premier board shaper. Diffenderfer once estimated that he had shaped nearly 25, 000 boards."Everything about his boards was all flowing and curves, and he did it just the right way so the board was maneuverable and fast, " said Gary Hanson, who has owned boards made by Diffenderfer for the past 40 years. "I would refer to him as a Michelangelo of shapers."Diffenderfer's older brother said the master shaper, who started shaping boards from redwood at age 12, was sort of a self-taught engineer who had studied the way airplane wings work and then applied that to surfboards."That's where the rocker came from, " said David Diffenderfer, who lives in Anthony, N.M.The "rocker, " or the nose to tail curve of the board, is a standard on nearly every modern surfboard. It's one of the features that helps determine how maneuverable a board will be.He was among the first half dozen to surf Waimea Bay and gave the "Banzai Pipeline" its name!THIS VINTAGE 1972 DIFFENDERFER SHAPED BOARD HAS THE VERY RARE "DA SURF HUT HALEIWA HAWAII" LOGO ON THE DECK, YELLOW TINT GLASS WORK, A VERY COOL LAMINATED WOOD FIN WITH BLACK, AND RED PINLINES LOCKING IN THIS COOL WING PIN SURFBOARD!PLEASE SEE PICTURES THIS VINTAGE DIFFENDERFER IS IN ALL ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH ALL DINGS PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED, GLOSSED AND POLISHED...... WATER TIGHT AND READY TO RIDE OR DISPLAY WITH PRIDE.......PLEASE SEE PICTURES!PLEASE SEE PICTURES PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS......MAHALO!!  BOARD SPECIFICATIONS LENGTH=  6 FEET 10 INCHES  WIDTH= 19 INCHESTHICKNESS= 3 INCHESCHECK OUT THESE BEAUTIFUL SOLID WOOD LONGBOARD & SURFBOARD DISPLAY RACKS!CLICK HERE THIS BOARD IS READY TO RIDE OR DISPLAY WITH PRIDE! This board will be professionally boxed and shipped from HONOLULU INTERNATIONAL airport to any MAJOR INTERNATIONAL airport in the U.S. for a flat rate of $135PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS........MAHALO!
