Surfboard: Greg Noll 'Da Cat' Model, 1967. 8 feet 10 inches x 23 inches. Greg Noll linked up with 'Da Cat', Mickey Dora, the controversial Prince of Malibu in 1966. It is said that Mickey had Reynolds Yater make him a Yater Spoon, so Mickey immediately took it to Greg to create his new model. Several unique features are the thin step deck, double channelled bottom, and the butterfly graphics hidden in the nose patch. This is a rare example because of its 8 feet 10 inches length.
