This rare vintage surf bird wooden skateboard. With a unique fade graphic by Nash, this 22.5in skateboard is a true gem. Made in the USA, Nash Manufactures Fort Worth Tx. Does have some wear/split in wood, divots. As seen in pictures. No sticker graphic just see outline.
Up for sale is a 1960s era Nash “Surf Bird” vintage skateboard in blue/natural wood. Appears to be completely original. While there are normal signs of age and use, including some minor dings in the wood, a tiny drop of white paint, what looks like “Kathy” written in green on the bottom, and rust/patina, this setup is in great shape for its age. The top graphic still looks pretty good as well. See pics for details. Rad piece for collectors or those looking for some vintage wall art. See my other listings for additional vintage skateboards.
The Flyaway helmet was jointly developed by Tuzo Jerger at Kanoa, and legendary Z-boy Jay Adams although Tuzo probably just showed Jay a bunch of prototypes and Jay just said, that one. They came in plain, solid-color painted fiberglass, or, for an extra charge, you could get the hand painted airbrushed stripes like you see on the helmet above. Originally they came in blue and a red-orange color, but soon black appeared, and Tom Sims requested that a an airbrushed white version be made for their team riders. The helmet shells and straps were made in California, and final assembly was done in Baja California. This one is a size small. It still has all the original Sims stickers, including the custom red snakes that were used only on these helmets. Straps, buckles, and foam are all original. If you want to replace the foam, Marshall Wolf at Flyaway Helmets in Marina del Rey, California (maker of reproduction Flyaways), can sell you a replacement foam set.
