First of the 1960s longboards from the Bob Comer Collection
Our volunteers have been working on the surfing exhibition. This work includes putting the Bob Comer collection of 1960s surf boards on display on the purpose built display wall. And we can report that the first of the boards are now on display. We’ll be adding to the display progressively and adding some information on the boards.
Roger Land logo on long board
One of the long boards is an original from shaper Roger Land who operated Land Custom Surfboards in Hamilton in the 1960s.The product was a excellent one. Formally Rodger Land Custom Surfboards, it was purchased by Kevin Brightwell in 1965 who changed the name to Land. Production ceased in 1966.
