Harley Ingleby Takes An Obscure Piece Of Surf History For A Spin
Спорт
The Shortboard Revolution was a helluva thing. The pace of the most-explosive period in surfboard design was break-neck, full of blink-and-you'll-miss-it concepts that may have worked just fine, but for one reason or another never really caught on. Case in point: a certain Bob Simmons-inspired twin-fin noserider acquired by Mark Ingleby, father of Australian longboarding ace and two-time world champ Harley Ingleby.
The senior Ingleby started collecting obscure surfboards back in the '80s-he's dedicated his entire house to the pursuit, in fact-which allowed his son Harley to have no shortage of unique and overlooked craft, like the magic twin, to put to the test and spark his imagination.
In the video above, Harley discusses what it was like to grow up with the ultimate board collection hanging over his head, before getting the backstory of the twin's design from local shaping icon Bill Tolhurst and taking it for a spin.

Twin fin log...never thought of that. Wow.
Love this, Harley is such a fantastic surfer long or short board..... But who the f*** gave it thumbs down..🙄
What a cool dad. I love riding a single fin
That was exceptionally well done! I really like surfing all kinds of surfboards, each one gives me something special.
Was living in remote Pacific Islands late 60s and early 70s, lucky to have friends with innovative minds who shaped. Mods to rails, bottom line, and fins were the happening thing before the squirty little "ice cube" boards got popular. Thanks for sharing this, brought back some nice memories 👍
Awesome video, love the dad's perspective on family tree of the longboard and all their history, Harley is a fantastic surfer also!
Fantastic.... Awesomeness.
You guys are so inspiring...
Love surfing history!
Awesome!.

Cool video, interesting for us surfers. God, I wish I could have a crack, though, at putting together the soundtracks for these things. Somehow "surf music" now has come to mean lousy 8th note beat overproduced fake analog echo-y guitar music that all sounds the same. This turkey here adds dissonant horror calliope version of "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" to, I guess, suggest olden days. Fi! Feh. Fuggthis.
Parsimonious to credit Simmons with the inspiration for the design. Typical of Tolhurst's contempt for the less known people of surfing. "Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."
