Design Surfboards Michael Peterson Surfboards Dimentional Surf Design Queensland ? Ivanhoe, Victoria? 1975 Michael Peterson (MP) Decal, left, and edited notes thanks to Mark Wilson, September 2020: I’ve owned (this board) for some 20 plus years. Members of the MP Vintage Board Facebook page referenced your site - they thought made about 1974 /1975. The board has the MP - 1 initials near the fin. It was suggested that it is a Natural Design board from Ivanhoe, Victoria, but I’m not sure this is correct. See Natural Design (Ivanhoe), below. Also see Michael Peterson Surfboards. The second decal, appears to be in two sections; the Natural Design - Shaped by Michael Peterson possibly trimmed from the top decal, laminated above the Dimentional Surf Design. Note that dimentional is not a real word, perhaps a misspelling of dimensional? Other significant misspellings include the John Arnold Surfboards Involment model, later corrected to Involvement, and McCoy Surfboards Reno Abelliro model, actually Abellira. MP also shaped-designed for Shane Surfboards, Brookvale. |
