Nineteen year old Hobie moving a blank's worth of balsa to the Yater-designed glue press (that Velzy coveted) alongside Hobie's parents' beachfront home, operated by placing the glued balsa sticks side-by-side in a frame and compressing them together by driving a wedge between the frame and the wood-no moving parts. Circa 1952 Hobie slalom testing an experimental model during the clay wheels era, Street of the Golden Lantern in Dana Point, circa 1964.Clipped from the current issue of TSJ. My favorite subscription since The Phantom circa 85.
