| 183731 | 8877 | Rich Toby Pavel | 25 | Roadmaster | Sep 7, 2020 | 2020-09-07T08:13:24-0400 | In the early 1980's I ordered a fish From Pavel. A friend of mine, Luke Hill, knew him and had several knee board fish from him and Steve Lis. Luke gave me his phone number and I ordered a stand up fish, a 5'8" stringer less with a blue foam spray bottom. I still have this board and it has the Steve Lis design label on the bottom with Choise on the deck. He was very nice on the phone, friendly and professional. He mentioned he had a used Lis, that Steve shaped for himself as a longer, 5'6" knee fish but did not like it and offered it to me. I snapped it up agreed to the price for the Lis and the custom. Got the boards 6 weeks later, one of the smoothest transactions for a custom order. Course this was long ago and I am glad I still have the custom. I sold the Lis about 20 years ago for big bucks to a collector in Japan. Not sure how it came up but during our phone chat, he said his nickname, Toby came from running away from home in his youth. His friends started calling him Toby after the Disney movie Toby Tyler joins the circus. Image processing. Refresh page to view |
