Found this on the council hard rubbish collection on the drive to work this morning.
5'9" x 20" x about 3 1/2". 11 1/2" nose and 16" tail. Flat into fairly heavy vee bottom. Flat deck. Heavily sloped but full rails with a hard tucked edge running the full length of the board. Pointed beak nose. Triple tail flyers. Pretty much perfect condition for its age.
Islantis is based on Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia, and the shaper Russell Francis has been shaping there for decades now.
I'm guessing pretty early '80's.
