A 40 or 41 year old shot of me at Haleiwa in December 1979 or 1980 ? during the World Cup event. During the late 1970’s & early 80’s the World Cup was the final event of the IPS World Tour & it usually decided the world champ race. There were some Sunset Beach World Cups but at this time Haleiwa was the preferred location. I’m riding a 7’4″ Round Pin Single Fin which I made from start to finish from a Clark Blank, shaping, spraying, glassing, sanding, gloss & polishing it. Subtle flat panel Vee bottom in the back 2/3 of the board with a tucked under hard resin edge which ran from nose to tail. The last 3 photos are of the board which I still have. The spray paint was from @fiberglasshawaii Surf shot Photo.

This is the wave that won me the Pipeline Masters 39 years ago in 1980. It was perfect Pipe & Backdoor. With 6 surfers in the final & no priority rule there was some intense radical hassling. We were all trying to take off on the wrong side of the peak to get barrelled. As you can imagine with about 3 good waves in a set there were a lot of situations with a surfer on each side of the peak paddling for the same wave. It was a fine line as to who went & who pulled back with the threat of an interference call constantly possible if no one pulled back. It got really intense as no one wanted to give in. The board is Round Pin Single Fin. It’s 7’0″ long & I shaped, sprayed & glassed it. That year I had 2 of these 7’0″ boards in identical colors. I still have the one in the photo which was the one I liked the best & rode in the contests. I don’t know who took the photo, I saw this shop posted by @silversurfer0161 @bernie_baker1 @merkelmedia #markrichardssurfboards #markrichardscolordesigns #markrichardssprays #mrsinglefin #mrretrosinglefin #mr1979retrosinglefin #mr1979retrosinglefinmodel #mr1979retrocontestquiver #mr1979hawaiicontestquiver
