logo is the same as this one...

Hmmm...never seen a logo on a board like that before.

Seen lots o' those on da internets tho...usually someone over 40 trying to post pics on the internet

Why soytanly! Any time

They were a Bruce Ragan design.

I never had one but new several people that did .... they all loved them as a Centro America travel board.

thanks, Larry! Yes, it is known. However a board has no name. SO - Probably not Bruce.. I'm trying to find out who.

It's probably from the 2000's shaped by Joey Maus. When Manny stopped shaping Illusion's, Larry Mayo shaped them for a while then Phil Salick and Joey Maus. Joey signed the Illusion's he shaped but I don't think he signed the QF's at first.

Mahalo Andy! getting closer. I'll try to post a more normal pic one day...

My current QF is 57,170, so that one goes back aways.

Andy is right, Bruce signs all of his, so it was a ghost.

57,000, that's a butt load of hand shaped boards.

I was right.

I rented the Leasure Bros & Regis Jupinko time in the shaping room of the old Cocoa Beach Sure Shop back in the Mid 70's ..... when they first getting their gig off the ground.

The Leasure's were still fresh from Maryland (if I remember correctly) and Jupinko was still not sure if he should wax the bottom or deck of a surfboard. I would say it worked out ok for everyone.

Ed lives part time at Isleworth and part time in California. Jim still runs the factory and golfs with Richard from the old Hammond Jewelers when they have time. Both look happy as clams.
