Toothpick surfboards- These were crafted by Bill Wallace and were finless boards, ranging from 14 to 16 feet in length, featuring a timber frame covered with varnished marine plywood sheets, which were adhered together creating a hollow structure for buoyancy. Handrails, made from timber battens, were sometimes installed on the deck.Dateca 1990sPhotographerPeter BidenImage NoT4006156
