For you SIMs fans

Here's where it all started.

ON THE AUCTION BLOCK: 1949 BOB SIMMONS SANDWICH

1949 10′ 6″ SIMMONS SANDWICH

CALIFORNIA GOLD: This particular board is a single fin which suggests it is one of the earlier sandwich surfboards built by Bob Simmons. Not many of these boards exist and every collector should have at least one of these historically relevant Simmons sandwich surfboards in their collection. This is truly a worthy investment. We know the US Treasury isn’t printing any of these.

"He made a new board with a greater attack angle which was awash and barely floated.  He discarded slots and concaves and said that they were not significant"

An excellent history on Simmons with great photos.
