Hailing from Torrance California! Made by the Pattison-Forbes Co. The “Hot Dogger” name plays off the slang of the time “hot-dogging” referred to showy, acrobatic skiing maneuvers – and this board was likely marketed toward younger skiers or those interested in trick skiing or novelty ski equipment. Unlike the skateboards of the time that used skateboarding as a means to learn how to surf “Street Surfing”, this one went the other way and suggests that if you use it you can learn now to ski… It’s a “Ski-Board”. Lots of fine, cosmetic, rust on the trucks beneath. Small chunk of plywood missing from the underside, of the front of the board. 18.75″ L x 4″ W.
