Grommett. Gremmies. You're bidding on a 1967 Hansen Surfboards Master 7 6. These boards were built for young 'uns. A miniature longboard. Powder blue panels and the 'Master 7 6 by Hansen\" logo. A unique representation of the mid-b 60s. One of the nice things about these boards is that they didn't make that many of them. Scarcity plays a role in the value. This one is all original it's been sanded and polished.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description ng-binding\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description ng-binding\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-label ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003eLiterature\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003eDON HANSEN: Surfboard shaper and manufacturer from San Diego County, California; founder of Hansen Surfboards, and a leader of the signature model era in the mid-1960s. Hansen was born (1937) and raised in South Dakota, lettered in boxing, track, and football, and earned up to $600 a week as a mink trapper. He began surfing at age 18, after graduating high school and hitchhiking to San Diego. In 1958, while stationed at Fort Ord army base, Hansen began shaping boards in nearby Santa Cruz, at Jack O'Neill's shop. In 1961, after short stints with Southern California boardmakers Hobie and Jacobs, Hansen moved to Oahu, where he made and sold boards under his own label. The following year he moved back to San Diego and opened Hansen Surfboards in the beachside town of Cardiff; four years later the company was grossing more than $500,000 a year. “I’ve always felt like I’ve had an advantage over a lot of the guys I knew in the surfing industry,\" Hansen later said. “I always thought I could outwork 'em. I'd grew up on a farm. I knew what it was like to work all day in the field under a hot sun.” Hansen Surfboards sponsored some of California's hottest riders, including Mike Doyle, Rusty Miller, Linda Benson, and Margo Godfrey, and offered some of the most popular surfboard models, like the Master, the Hustler, the Powerflex, and the 50\/50. Hansen was also good with the media: his advertisements were well-designed and clever, Hansen himself made the cover of Surfer in 1962, and he was one of 10 board manufacturers featured on a 1965 Surfing portrait cover.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description ng-binding ng-scope\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*CNSGN\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50072242651378,"sku":null,"price":1875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/2237\/8152\/files\/IMG-8475.heic?v=1789262501","url":"https:\/\/www.iconsofsurf.com\/products\/vintage-hansen-76-master-1967","provider":"Icons of Surf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
