Features striking red panels with unique wide balsawood outer stringers, redwood center stringer, and scarfed wood nose. Stunning 13-piece wooden fin with black halo. Shaped by the late Mike Diffenderfer (1937-2002) in the early 2000s. Glassed by the renowned Jack “JR” Reeves. 11’1 pintail. 1 of only 3 made—the other 2 are owned by Steve Pezman, founder of The Surfer’s Journal publication.
