*This 1970s Dick Brewer Hawaiian Gun,* built for legendary big-wave pioneer Buzzy Trent, is a rare collector’s piece, with an estimated value of $5,000 to $8,000. The board, crafted by Brewer and glassed by the famed Boscoe Burns, represents the last board Trent rode before a hang-gliding accident forced him to retire from surfing. Featuring exquisite craftsmanship with double pin lines and a subtle blue tint, it embodies the high-performance design of its era.
Dick Brewer, one of the most revered shapers in surfing history, influenced countless surfboard makers and riders alike, including icons like Lopez and Abellira. His boards were coveted during the '60s and '70s, even as other shapers gave away boards to elites. With shaping evolving into a computerized process today, Brewer’s legacy stands as a reminder of the artistry and mystique that once defined surfboard design.
