Description:
Surfboard: Bill Wallace Wooden Okinui Surfboard, 1956. This hollow wooden surf board was possibly the first made in Australia. 10 feet 3 inches x 23½ inches. Excellent original condition. After watching a display by the American surfers on their balsa boards put on for the Melbourne Olympics, Bill went straight home and made one. Because balsa was not available in Australia he manufactured one from hollow ply. Previous to this all our surf boards being manufactured were of the 14 – 18 feet toothpick style.
