Freedom singlefin by Steve Harewood

 I've long been a fan of Freedoms, and here's another lovely one which would be a very nice rider. Its 6'6 x 20 inches ; nice width for a pintail, not too narrow so would go well in our waves, and its also not too thick, probably 2 3/4 . The deck is very flat with hardly any hint of rocker, and the volume goes out right to the rails. Just looking at it I know its going to be fun, and the dark grey tint matches my shed ! It was  made around 1973 ? although I havent quite pinned down when this logo was used until. Its one of my favourite logos of the 70s though and was probably '73.

Freedom range from 1972 . The Quicksilver looks very similar to my board.
