A very cool acquisition of Da Surf Team is the recent saving of a SurfBus from nature. It's a VW Panorama Bus T2a from early 1970, which we'll need for the surfgear and the future big trips to check out surfspots! It already has an expedition roof rack from front to end, to comfortably fit all surfgear! The bus is currently being stripped for a rebuilding (...) process, which should hopefully be finished before summer 2002, when we plan to start touring. The bus apparently has been driving in Europe since roll-out in april 1970, somehow was exported to USA for several years, but came back home in the 80's. Looking at the picture, you can see that the bus was very much surrounded by nature at the spot we discovered it, yes stuff like this still happens (we might take the LandRover Defender 110 LWB standing next to it as well!). The bus has apparantly had a hippie history in its early years, as beneath the black/white we discovered many painted flowers, plants and fishes!! The black paint however turned out to be ship-tar, so anyone who knows how to get this of our holy car, please mail! Check out DaSurf.com in the future as we'll keep you updated of the complete restoration proces of the SurfBus for you surfaddicts! Everybody wants a bus!

01/13/03 Jeremy [DaSurf.com] This bus has been driving in the USA in the 70's/80's. Anyone recognising the bus, please mail us!!
After removing the black tar, we discovered many painted fish and seeweed/plants/flowers. The front was sprayed metallic blue with fish.
Any info would be welcome!!

10/24/02 Thom With the top down, I bet I could get my 7'6" into it.

A 5'6" wouldn't be big enough to use as a skateboard for me...
10/24/02 RobK So what good is the Porsche - can't even get a 5'6" thruster into it!

oh...errr...that's right.. I forgot - the Porsche pulls the chicks! (that's 70s surfer jargon for 'attracts members of the opposite sex'...)

2 10' 4" longboard blanks barely don't fit in a bus. A walk-thru would have been perfect for this job

10/26/02 Spengdog 300 would get me the blank! Be sure to post the finished articles!
10/25/02 Thom The blanks were $105 each, retail. By the time you ad in all the fixins, the total materials cost at retail is $300 per board
10/25/02 Spengdog Thom, great shot! how much are you guys paying for blanks that length these days? Are they Clark? They are mucho expensive here in Europe - Almost as much as what I can get an off the shelf board for!
10/24/02 Thom Yes; check out http://thomn8r.com/surfboard.html
10/24/02 Sean Are you gonna shape them yourself? In hear it's not as easy as you would think it was unless you are planning on using them on the Sac river!

Went down to Santa Cruz today to pick up a couple of surfboard blanks. Lind - I know this isn't much of a summit, but it's better than nothing...

10/25/02 Taylor Nelson Ya know, the funny thing is that this same summit was 8 feet higher before the 1989 earthquake!
10/25/02 lind I like it. maybe if enough people take pictures of their buses summiting you can make a category in the gallery for it.
