 In 1959
Rich Harbour's used
longboard was stolen from his
garage. Devastated, Rich
decided to build a new board
on his own. Using a piece of
redwood, and huge rubber bands
cut from an inner tube, he
even glued the stringer in
himself. The result
wasn’t half bad for a
high school junior. Since
then, Rich has crafted more
than 23,000 surfboards and
counting. Today, vintage
Harbour Surfboards are
collected by enthusiasts
around the world eager to grab
a piece of true surfing
history. Harbour Surfboards
was established more than 40
years ago and remains as the
worlds oldest surfboard
manufacturing shop at the same
location and a driving force
within the surfing industry.
