Hi Blair,
Yeah, "#66" got my heart pounding.
I've responded directly to you, so this is for everyone else.
Thanks for the photos you sent to Bing and me. This is a great looking Mini Bing.
According to Bing, there was a young surfer in 1963 named Dave Hermyer who made about 300 of these. They look just like the full-sized boards of the period, with color panels, multiple stringers, and custom wood laminated skegs. If you hadn't put a tape measure in your photo, I would have thought it was the real deal, and a great one too. These ranged in price from about $5 to $10 or so, depending what extras you ordered. We've seen a couple of these recently. We'll put them up on the website in the near future, along with some other information, so everyone can check them out. Very cool.
Tom
