Chapter single fin

This is Dan's 6'3 Chapter, shaped in around 1980 and still in amazing condition. It was custom made for the previous owner, who then put it in the attic for 30 years ,hence the condition. Chapters are probably less well known for these high quality custom boards - advertised then under the dubious sales slogan 'probably the most expensive custom boards available' !! Chapter had real success with their pop out moulded boards which included all models from a longboards, MR style twin fins to kneeboards , usually with the retro arrow design on the deck.

Chapter was started in Braunton by Mervyn Beard in the mid 70s , who had shaped with Tiki before that. They started out making normal boards, and with the help of John Stacey perfected a way of making cheap and improved moulded boards in 1976 , producing upto 25 a week through to the 80s. Mabye its because Chapter is so synonomous with pop outs that collectors have overlooked them and quality boards like this 6'3 come as a surprise.
