My Uncle dropped his old board off at the house that was just collecting dust. I never paid much attention to it ( its 8ft glassed on fins) until yesterday when I was moving it. Who is Manny T., There is a TM symbol on the deck and the signature above the specs says Manny T. Never heard of him. My cameras charging, I'll get a pic up soon. Thanks
Spoke to my Uncle this evening, he said the shaper was out of New Smyrna area and it was shaped and shiped to him 15 years ago. If anyone has any info on how I can find out this Manny T.'s reputation, that would be awesome. My Uncle is no help, he still talks about zero suits and his hay days @ gilgo beach(one to many sessions w/ the peace pipe)
Look up Nichol's surf shop in New Smyrna; Call the shop speak to Ruby who manages it for Chuck (new owner) he bought the shop from the original Nichol's brothers in the late 90's. Chuck worked for Nichol's since he was 8 yrs old and pretty much local historian too so good bet he might be able to help you. Chuck has massed one heck of collection of vintage boards too.
