Very rare. PERFECT!' Description 1959 Gas Powered Surfboard. Very rare. PERFECT! After checking out this cool surfboard, don't forget to visit my EBAY store for 100's of vintage, hard-to-find military and boating DVDs.  To visit my EBAY store click here: http://stores.ebay.com/US-Military-Videos-Historic-DVDs I am selling a 1959 Gas Powered Surfboard. This is as rare as a surfboard gets.  Very possibly the last one of its kind left in the world!!!   This board runs perfectly.  It has been tuned up and starts on the 1st or 2nd pull each time.  It is made by Surf Skimmer. I have done research on these and there are only one or two still in existence. The only one I ever saw sell besides mine sold for $12,500 and it was not running and had the nose of the board broken off. My surf skimmer came from Lake Shasta, California.  Being used on a lake, and not in salt water, is why it survived the years so well. The engine runs perfectly and is controlled by a pneumatic, foot-controlled throttle. I currently am using a Nalgene bottle as the gas tank (which works great). It would be a simple process to re-connect the original internal gas tanks. I have several really cool videos of my son riding this around our local lake. If you email me, I can send them to you.  Serious bidders, only, please.... This is a rare piece of surfing history. It really belongs in a museum somewhere! Please, serious inquiries only. This is a real head-turner wherever you ride it! It must be picked-up in Chapel Hill, NC  27514 within 5 days after the auction ends! LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY     Do not ask for it to be shipped!  Thanks. I encourage anyone interested in this board to come  see it prior to bidding!  You won't believe your eyes!  Please email me with questions!!!  DUE TO BUYER'S BACKING OUT... please ask any questions before you buy it!!!
