Description:
Surfboard 12 inches x 22 inches x 3 1/4 inches Len Dibben elephant gun No. 3950 cedar T band stringer clear top and bottom five fins made in 1997 for S. Marley. This is the only 12 foot Len Dibben surfboard ever made. Len Dibben has been manufacturing surfboards in Western Australia for over 50 years. From the early hollow wood boards to modern day foam and glass construction, he, along with the Cordingley Brothers in Mosman Park and the hawk Brothers in the Northern suburbs, pioneered the West Australian surfing and board manufacturing industry. After snapping his home made board on a Scarborough beach break back in the late 50's and finding himself having to repair it he soon realised he had natural talent for shaping, with the development of Len Dibben Surfboards (run from an old church in north Fremantle) he soon developed a reputation for his quality hand crafted boards
