Here's a rare board which turned up on ebay as a kids beginner board. Its 5'7 x 19 3/4, made by Vitamin Sea in cornwall under licence from Mark Richards in the early 80s. Although not shaped by the man himself it excited a few bidders. Its got classic star graphics and seems to be a team board. Probably shaped by CJ or Tad.
