My first board, back in the early 70s, was a Platts. Single fin, of course, with a fin box. Apart from learning to surf on it, I also learned to barefoot waterski off it.

I have two brothers that would probably be pretty good if they gave it a shot. Thanks for the insights I certainly get the vibe that dad gets much respect and wish there was more I could do to see him get a little more recognition!

Why don't you give the magazines you have to the Platt family, I'm sure they mean nothing to you, but the world to them?

Did a thorough search through all my old surf mags and found a few more adds, pictures and stories.

This add is from Surfing World vol 9 no 3 june/july 1967 cost of magazine 45c.
Note the different name and address, this earlier shop was situated next door to the later shop.
