"Peek of the Week" - Week 21
Matt Kivlin Balsa 10'4" 1955 (10)
We are extremely privileged to have an all original Matt Kivlin balsa on offer. This particular board was owned by Joel MacDonald, a Beverly Hills stockbroker. Being more of a "social surfer" who hung with the Hollywood crowd, the board spent more time in the back of his Cadillac convertible then in the water. A chance wipeout, took out the original fin. Matt Kivlin himself was kind enough to supply the proper replacement fin, which was so far ahead of it's time, with cut-away design and full foil. It's a shame the other manufactures of the era didn't pick up on it. A framed rendering of Matt's fin design is included with the board. The board itself is all original, with an inlaid St. Christopher on the deck, some snackles and shatters, but otherwise in superb condition. So few of these boards exist, that they are considered priceless. Here is one from the master himself! Pre-auction estimate: $15,000-$25,000
