Valle .George..definitely an icon in Victorian surf history,like a lot of our aging shaper's,he enjoyed a second time around the block ,with the rebirth of cool long boarding,particularly the old log/ mal/comp segment,his boards were sought after in Vicco and nationally. As a plumber in a small coastal town on the surf coast I used to come across some beautiful boards under houses,that were pristine,covered in dust,and only ridden for a month over Xmas holidays,I used to enjoy telling the owners that the boards were sought after and valued by enthusiasts, just to piss off the beach score opportunist trying to cash in..George Rice definitely a brand synonymous with the very early days of Victorian surfboard history/craftmanship,thank you George.
