Von Weirdos Malfunction Auction 2008 Overview

 

This is the first year Von Weirdos and the Malfunction have joined forces to present a vintage and collectables surf auction at Casuarina!  There's going to be lots of goodies on offer to suit all tastes, from the serious surf collector through to someone setting up their new dream beach shack who may want some interesting original surf related items to hang on the walls.

 

And we're not just talking 60's longboards, as there will also be 70's shortboards, vintage skateboards, framed surf records, surf magazines, and other ephemera such as framed surf posters and handbills from the 60's and 70's, many signed by surfing legends, some of whom will be in attendance at the event.

 

Some of the hot items already consigned to the auction include a hollow plywood surfboard from the 1950's period along with a plywood paddle board from the same era, several big name 60's foam and fibreglass "mals" including a circa 1966 McDonagh 9'4" rider, and a 1967 Keyo 8'6" stringerless, from the time when the first early "shortboards" appeared!

 

Other items of interest include a 1960's timber deck skateboard with it's original clay wheels, and a 1970's fibreglass Bahne brand skateboard in top condition.  Framed surf movie posters include The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun signed and numbered by legendary surfer and film maker George Greenough.  And a very rare surf record from the 1970's by Captain Goodvibes, signed by the artist otherwise known as Tony Edwards and beautifully framed.  Another example of art crossing over with the surfing scene.
