Here's a rare early 70s zippy sticks which Jim saved from complete destruction. He and his friend found it abandoned on the rocks at Porthleven about 20 years ago smashed up, deck de-lamed , nose gone and fin smashed in two. After restoration and tlc it looks and surfs great - a tale to warm the heart ! You don't see many of these early zippy sticks , the Gul collection has a very similar one. Shaped by Roger Cooper who grew up surfing the Isle of Wight and was south coast champion in 1969, before settling in south wales and starting his shaping business.
