Boardroom Show Podcast Featuring Randy Rarick | October 2024

For the second time in 2024, Scott Bass from The Boardroom Show interviewed Randy Rarick in advance of the upcoming (Oct 5 to Oct 19, 2024) California Gold Vintage Surf Auction in addition to the Boardroom International Surfboard Show in Del Mar CA (October 12-13). Titled “𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳: 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 & 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿y”, the two discussed exactly what the title of the episode indicates. One highlight that historians will really enjoy is Randy’s accounting of Charlie Galanto. Galanto may not be as well known as the likes of Dick Brewer and Bob McTavish when it comes to publicized contributions to the shortboard revolution of 1968/69, but he absolutely played an integral role in the transition of board design in the era. While there are no Galanto boards in October 2024’s auction lot (view lots here) there have been in the past, including this Greg Noel Hawaiian Gun which was restored by Randy.
