bottom Concave tail and Fins detail. Leigh Tingle and Plywood belly board, Haliewa, 1964. Image contributed by Leigh Tingle. The photo at bottom of page of a bellyboard rider is me. Taken at Haliewa Oahu January 1964 using an existing balsa fibreglass bellyboard made by Scott Dillon, Noel Ward and Gordon Woods in February 1958. It is now 43 years old and still going strong. If I remember correctly the photograph was from the Surfabout magazine. A replica of the board has just been finsihed by my son Sam for a school Tutorial Task. Many thanks, Leigh.
