Brief description:
One of Britains earliest and most iconic surfboard brands, "Bilbo", started in the early 1960's in Newquay Cornwall by Bill Bailey and Bob Head. This example in much loved and well surfed condition is a very early example. One of a number that the Museum is lucky enough to own, no history of British surfing exhibit is complete without a Bilbo.
