A couple of rather home-made looking boards there. Thanks to Pierre who says that the board on the right is a French Barland/Rott.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving my mail to "board collector man"... I saw he've been to Hossegor but he didn't give me a call...no worrys! Just to tell you that on your third pictures, the board of the right looks like a Barland/Rott... they are very researched here!
Thank you again for your board...

Thanks to Phil his son for sharing the great pictures and history.
Pierre knows his boards, it was one of the first Barland 9'6" in Guerney may be 64. Dads in the picture was a 9'1" and yes Bluey he's taken both out for a little old school long board session.
