Here is another one of those lost souls, a Morey-Pope Bob Cooper Blue Machine, what I would give to be able to ride a real one, and maybe....someday.....shape a new one ....? Endless Possibilities. This was one of my favorite surfers (Bob Cooper) model when he worked and surfed for Morey-Pope, Bob was a lesser known "hot-dogger" from the early to mid-1960's, He was know for his excellence in noseriding and trimming down the line at Rincon, which he mastered with his Blue Machine model.
Great article here about the Blue Machine at the Surfing Heritage Foundation - http://www.thevintagesurfauction.com/the-blue-machine/
