OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY
The guys at Ventana Surfboards & Supplies in Santa Cruz, California sent us a reclaimed piece of Doug fir (used in their surfboard production) from the hull of the Western Flyer.
The Western Flyer is considered by many to be the most famous fishing boat in the world. John Steinbeck, Ed "Doc" Ricketts and crew chartered this 77-foot sardine boat into the Sea of Cortez in Baja California, Mexico in 1940. The following year, Steinbeck published his book, The Log from the Sea of Cortez about the adventure. Learn more about this amazing boat and Ventana's use of its wood.
