Re: Leo belly boards
From the web-site :
"Born from the short-board era of the 70's, influential shapers like Mike Hynon, Dick Brewer, Sam Hawk, Herbie Fletcher and more.... began to shape fiberglass bellyboards for prone riders. This surfboard inspired culture started the evolution of the bellyboard into what you see here today.
Leo Bellyboards and renowned shaper Chris Kaysen have taken this to the next performance level. Creating a prone riders dream..... A High performance bellyboard design that can be customized to a riders specification".
A couple of things of interest: does anyone know of Brewer, Hawk etc bellyboards? Sounds like Chris Kaysen is form around San Clemente. Anyone know about these boards?

Re: Leo belly boards
Uncle Grumpy should know something about this and likely Jeff Quam as well.
Typical Southern California in some ways, "short-board era of the 1970s" is almost too funny, as we had shortboards big time in Puerto Rico starting in Winter of 1967/68.

Re: Leo belly boards
Think I saw some "Leo" stuff at Boardroom a year or so back. Didn't strike me as groundbreaking.
Kaysen shapes out of Basham's "Factory" IIRC.
