71' 72' ...

I made this board between 71&72’. It is a Greenough style knee board and not a stand up board. The bottom has my first andreini logo that I made from run on letters from the art store. It looks like the customer gave me the script of his initials for the deck. I would have made that board at my shop on Ocean View ave in Santa Barbara. It was an old barn behind an old Victorian house full of hippie renters! I don’t remember the board very clearly but I regularly made knee boards as it was very popular in the early years of the transition because George Greenough, who rode a similar board, ushered in the short board revolution. He was my main inspiration in board design and still is.  Thanks Justin from DC for sending over the pictures. He found it while living in Seattle at the time and wanted some more info on it!
