Description
Own a piece of authentic late-1980s San Diego surf history. This limited-release classic black tank top features a faithful reproduction of original surfboard airbrush art pulled straight from the archives of Canon Surfboards #8544.
The Story Behind the Art Shaped in the late ’80s by master craftsman Peter Benjamin, board #8544 carried the iconic “Thunderbird Hands” graphic created by legendary Point Loma artist Stephen “Scat” Scatolini—a true local creative icon often hailed as the Bob Dylan from Point Loma. Scat inducted Steve Lis into the San Diego Surfing Hall of Fame.
Authentic San Diego Heritage Produced with the official blessing and permission of the Durward family (the original founders and owners of Canyon Surfboards in Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach), this retro release pays tribute to the golden era of San Diego’s homegrown surf industry and the local artisans who defined it.
