Vintage 20th Century Australian Rheopaipo wave/skimmer board
$95
SHIPPING OFFERED
Offered for sale is this vintage 20th Century Australian-made ‘Rheopaipo’ wave/skimmer board, most likely dating from the 1990’s. Founded in 1991 (on the NSW Central Coast) by John Holmes, Rheopaipo went on to produce a range of highly-regarded, well-made and innovative body- and wave/skimmerboards (as well as sponsoring a series of successful professional riders) before the business closed in 2006. Sadly John passed away in February 2020 after a long illness.
The bright and eye-catching Pop Art style design features a repeating group of World War Two Curtis P-40 Warhawk fighters shown in various scales and angles. These are set against a ground of coloured sunbursts that reference those seen in the 1960’s ‘fighter jet’ work of American artist Roy Lichtenstein. Alongside the planes there are two ‘drippy’ versions of the Rheopaipo logo. The reverse features the company logo in pale blue on a cream ground.
A fun wall-art piece of domestic surfing history for any home or business.
In very good overall original condition. There is some patination and wear from use (as pictured), appropriate for this being a vintage item and not modern reproduction.
Measures 93.5cm (h) x 49.5cm (w) approximately.
Please check the photos as they form part of the item description.
Cash or direct deposit sale only. Can freight at buyers expense (must include insurance for damage or loss) or can personally deliver to Macedon Ranges, Melbourne, Geelong or Ballarat CBD’s for a fee. Where possible (or upon request) a physical inspection is available and always encouraged. Accurate as possible description at time of listing, however like any secondhand item is sold without guarantee or return so please ask any questions before purchase - as any sale is final.
